Product Description

Why fumble with CDs when you can play your iPod in the car on virtually any FM radio station? Now you can do that and keep your iPod charged at the same time with iCarPlay Wireless Plus.

Simply tune your car radio to any clear FM station, tune iCarPlay Wireless Plus to the same station, hit play on your iPod and you're ready to roll. Change presets any time you need a clearer station. For added flexibility and convenience, Monster Smart Digital Charging technology rapidly charges your iPod, and then switches to a trickle charge to optimize its performance. It all makes iCarPlay Wireless Plus the best way to enjoy full stereo sound from your iPod in your car, no matter where your travels take you.

Amazon.com Product Description

Why shuffle through stacks of CDs and tapes to find the song you want in the car when you can listen to the iPod? The Monster Cable iCarPlay Wireless Plus FM transmitter gives your car stereo great-sounding, wireless access to your entire iPod library, all while charging the portable jukebox to keep the music playing. Simply plug one end of the iCarPlay Wireless Plus into the 12-volt cigarette lighter and the other end into the dock connector on the bottom of your iPod. Once you select matching FM stations on your car stereo and the iCarPlay device, you're ready to roll. Your favorite music will transmit wirelessly to your car stereo using FM frequencies, and because it offers full FM tuning flexibility (excluding 87.7 and 87.9 MHz), you're guaranteed top-quality, interference-free sound. Meanwhile, Monster's Smart Digital Charging technology will rapidly charge your iPod when the power is low, and when its fully charged, the transmitter switches to a trickle charge to optimize the iPod's performance. You'll never have to worry about running out of power when using the iCarPlay. Additional features include three programmable "favorite station" preset buttons, an easy-to-ready LED display, and 24k gold contacts for maximum corrosion resistance and power transfer. The iCarPlay is compatible with all iPods that utilize a dock connector, including the iPod mini.

Too much buzz.......2007-12-24

This product was returned because of the incessant buzz. I could not find an fm frequency that worked well, and the product was hard to use. Frequency change was not intuitive.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.......2007-12-12

The first one I got was out of order and I had to return it. The replacement lasted only 2 months since it broke into pieces. On top of that, the receiver was so weak that every certain miles I had to reset it - while driving. The connector to the ipod is probably the least user-friendly connector I've seen. I bought it because I've had execellent experience with Monster products in the past, but truly, I cannot believe how bad qaulity this product is.

The best I've tried so far........2007-12-07

This is the 4th transmitter I have tried and it has the best sound so far. It's very clear and low to no static. I've tried a Belkin, a DLO and a Monster iTrip. I haven't used it long, but so far so good. I'd recommend it.

Better than the rest!.......2007-11-27

I bought iCarPlay a few weeks ago after purchasing several other fm transmitters. The Monster is the best yet! I have a Honda Accord and it would not pick up a clear signal from any other transmitter. Then, I bought the Monster. Its signal came in clearly on all three channels. Switching channels is easy with the lighted presets. I am very happy with the product and wish I had not spent $99 on an inferior transmitter.

A GOOD BY FOR THE PRICE.......2007-11-26

I AM HAPPY WITH THE ITEM. ONLY BAD PART IS BECAUSE IT IS DIGITAL, IT IS HARD TO SEE THE STATION IT IS SET TO DURING THE DAY TIME.

not reliable.......2007-10-19

I bought it and once used during the trip to Grand Canyon.
The power inverter is OK but noise, however the transmitter function is really bad. The signal by the transmitter was so weak, it was only functional when we was Grand Canyon without any interference by public radio. After trip, the transmitter function stoped to working any more.

Loud fan and buzz in FM transmitter.......2007-09-24

Purchased the item September 7th 2007.

Put it in my 2007 Chevy Silverado for an FM transmitter for my Dell Axim X30.

Had a $15 cheap no-name fm transmitter from CompUSA that worked OK, but fell apart.

First thing I noticed was the loud fan. Sounds like an old noisy CPU fan. Doesn't seem to have any temperature sensing since it fires up right away and stays at full power. Rotated it to redirect the sound, but ended up getting an extension and sticking it in my console. I can still hear it over the HVAC fan and road noise (stereo off).

Next I tried the FM transmitter and found that it was clipping badly. I am running the Replay Gain Handler (No clipping) Plugin for Pocket Player (which fixed my clipping problems in the past) and fiddled with the gain to minimize the clipping. In the end, minimizing the gain and lowering the volume seemed to fix the clipping issue which lead to the next problem.

With or without content being sent the transmitter adds a low hum to the sound. This is not present on standard radio stations and wasn't as loud on my old cheap-o transmitter. Between the low volume/gain on my Axim and keeping the stereo volume low to avoid the hum, it can be frustrating.

Last issue... The USB plug was installed crooked. I had to twist the white wedge to get the plug in. It moved with a snap... so I don't have a lot of confidence in its longevity. It does work though.

Haven't tried the inverter.

Hope this helps other purchasers.

great so far, we'll have to see in the long run.......2007-09-17

I just bought this unit, tried it out over the weekend...so far so good. I read the other review that said it died after a month, i'll have to see. It sounds like the may have blown the fuse, they did send a spare with it, and also you can pick them up online here or at many harware stores. Hard to say what happened. Anyway, It works great with my mp3 player and DVD player, and the brodcast is good, but i do wish it was a full fm range and not just 15 stations. I do have another transmitter, and when i got into larger cities, I used the whole range. But, for the versitility, you can't match this unit. It's universal for anything player, Ipods, zune, gigabeat,zen because it is a plug in, it has USB charge as well, is even has a lighter adapter for another device as well. Look around, you'll be back to get this one.

Noisy.......2007-09-13

It looked good, and worked well. However, when I put this device into a cigar jack, it made a noise. Thus, I gave up using this device while I am driving.

Excellent.......2007-08-09

Used in my RV for a week trip. Ran my Ipod, GPS, and FM transmitter with no trouble at all. Works as it should. Very happy

Wireless works but Regular batteries don't last long.......2007-03-09

Regular batteries only last through about 4 albums. The only practical way to use this player is with rechargeable batteries. I am satisfied however, with the wireless aspect which works with no problems.

Anti skip doesn't work well. Headphone jack quit working after a couple of months.

OK Player - Bad Transmitter.......2005-09-03

I got this to use in the car since my tape deck died. The player itself is OK. It didn't skip at all. The FM transmitter was not very good, though. There was a constant whine and the sound was distorted during volume peaks in music. I ended up returning it.

Great Innovative Product.......2005-08-03

I was really surprised to come across this product. I needed to upgrade the FM radio/cassette player in my car to an MP3 player without having to spend lots of $$$ and without the hassle of installation. I did some searching and came across this product. My first reaction was this couldn't be true, almost sounds too good to be true. And my second reaction was "Never heard of Coby, must be a shabby product". I still went ahead and ordered it because I was intrigued at what it promised to do. Well, the CD MP3 player does what it promises. It's a quality product from a company I have never heard of before, but in the future I'll look out for more products from Coby. If you need a portable, inexpensive MP3 solution for your car that is equipped with an FM radio, this is the best. Before I ordered the product, I was concerned about the sound quality, but now I can assure that it is excellent, the MP3 player delivers a clear sound. Doesn't look bad either.

Product Description

Arkon's SF250 SoundFeeder Digital Wireless Stereo Music Adapter allows you to transmit the audio from any portable audio player to your car's FM radio in stereo! The electronics of the SF250 are based on Phase Lock Loop (PLL) synthesized circuitry. This technology allows you to tune in to a specific frequency, a definite advantage as you'll not have to deal with "electronic drift." The stability and performance of this device make the SF250 the perfect solution for nearly all of your portable audio adapting needs.Here's how it works! Simply plug the audio cord on the SoundFeeder into the headphone jack of your portable audio player. Then tune your radio to any of the 8 digitally tuned FM stations supported by this device. These include 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88, 7, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7Mhz.Many competing products only offer 4 digitally tuned frequencies to choose from. The SoundFeeder SF250 has 8 thereby giving you twice as many chances of being able to find a blank station in your area.

Amazon.com Product Description

Play your portable music player in the car without upgrading your in-vehicle stereo system with the Arkon SF250 Digital SoundFeeder. The wireless FM adapter is designed to transmit the music from a portable CD player, iPod, or MP3 player to an empty frequency on your FM dial. All you have to do is plug the SF250 into your player's headphone jack, and then tune the radio to any one of the eight supported FM stations (88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, and 107.7 MHz). Once you find an empty frequency, the SF250 plays your favorite songs directly through your car's stereo speakers. The sound quality is solid and reliable, and the unit's Phase Lock Loop (PLL) synthesized circuitry ensures you won't have to deal with electronic drift.

Listeners can also use the SF250 on other radios as well, such as home stereos or portable boomboxes. And at a mere 2.25 inches wide by 3 inches deep, the Digital SoundFeeder takes up very little space, letting you store it in a cup holder, pocket, or other location. The SF250 runs for up to 60 hours on two AA batteries and boasts a transmission range of 10 to 30 feet, depending on conditions. It also comes with a 6.5-inch audio cord.

This works fine!.......2007-09-29

I admit that I took a gamble on this one after seeing that some folks were not that crazy about this product. I'm shocked that they said that the performance for this was not good - its fine! I use this in the office and at home. Admittedly, I place this product right next to my radio, but wouldn't you also? If one is trying to transmit some distance from the radio, perhaps from across a room, maybe this is not the right product, but if you are going to use it next to your radio, go for it. Now, the negative - this thing does eat batteries! I use rechargeable batteries in almost everything. I can't get but 18 hours use on one charge with this product. But, now that I know that, I plan accordingly. If you use rechargeable batteries, and use your radio almost 24-7 like I do, this is a fine product!

For me, a waste of money.......2006-10-03

My goal: listen to XM radio from DirecTV receiver over the stereo system in our RV. The stereo system unfortunately has no aux input, so a transmitter sounded like the perfect solution.

Setup was easy and I used the RCA-style plug adapter thoughtfully provided to connect to the aux output of the DirecTV receiver. The RV antenna is directly above the cabinet containing the SoundFeeder, so the range is no more than 3 feet.

After trying the 88 and 107 MHz freqs, I still got loads of static & distortion. I thought it might be interferance from local (Dallas) FM stations transmitting near the 88 and 107 MHz freqs, but got the same distorted & staticky performance in camp, away from 88 and/or 107 MHz stations.

Sound quality is that of a VERY cheap AM transistor radio; we get better sound thru the 13" cheapie TV speaker. Very disappointed.

AAA batteries?.......2006-01-11

I just received this item in the mail. I chose it specifically because everything said it took AA batteries. But now it says on the back of the package that it takes 2 AAA batteries. Disappointed and Confused.

Good but not great.......2005-09-13

I like it for the most part but the thing with it is that it goes thru batteries like water. 1 set of batteries may last a few days and as it is sucking power the reception to whatever radio you use gets weak. Also, I found out that while using the transmitter, your player has to be turned down or else it will overdrive the transmitter and the sound will be poor. You pretty much have to search for the balance between your transmitter and radio in order to get quality sound between the them.

shoddy construction, poor performance.......2005-09-10

The battery compartment on my unit was very difficult to open, one of the springs on the battery terminals broke the second time the batteres were replaced, in the Philadelphia area it was almost impossible to find a channel among the 8 available that gave decent sound quality without a lot of interference, could only get good sound quality in the boonies, and even then it drifted in and out.

For how much you pay, this is a good product........2007-12-03

My ipod had just died on me, and there was still 6 months until christmas. So I went cheap, bought a 15 dollar 1 gig mp3 player at Ritaid and was looking for a easy fix to listening to music once again in my car. Mind you I did not have a tape deck. I found this on Amazon for under 10 bucks and said why not. Even with the so/so reviews. I'm glade I bought it.

First, the battery life on this fm transmitter is great. I even went cheap on the batteries, buying them at save-a-lot and they lasted me probably 3 weeks, if not more. During those three weeks I even left the transmitter on over night once on accident. Mind you these batteries were a dollar for ten. So battery life I give a 10 on this product.

Second, sound quality is pretty good. If you are using this transmitter to listen to music through a radio at work or your home it's just as good as any other off brand fm transmitter out their, including belkin, and is much cheaper. In my car I did run into a few minor problems. I have a bass system in my car and did find that the tune dial on the fm transmitter sometimes would not hold it's position and I would lose signal and sometimes would find myself trying to tune it back in at traffic lights and stop signs. But given that the battery life on this device lasts twice as long as any other model transmitter and it's as cheap as it is I say that it was a great buy, and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend 20 bucks on a wireless transmitter. The plus side the battery life will last an all day road trip, but will your patients. Again though, anywhere else other than a car it sounded great and had minimal frequency disturbance and was a great buy!

Oh! also the cd player in my car was digital, so this fm transmitter does work with digital tuners.

This Blows!.......2007-07-19

I received the product the very next day! The seller was honest and efficient. However, the product itself does not work as well as I thought it would. I do not recommend the product but I do recommend the seller.

Good for the price.......2007-06-07

This unit is good for playing on a simple analog radio with no inputs. I am using it at work to play my iPod on the little cd boombox we have. I have this transmitter touching the antenna, and the quality is alright but not great. I'm sure there are better out there, but this is adequate for if you do not want to spend much money to play MP3s on a radio. Keep in mind that I had a hard time finding a clean station on the radio before even turning this on, so in a less busy area you may have better luck getting better sound quality. This would not work well in a car, you have to adjust the station carefully. I would only rate this 3 stars, but have read such bad reviews on almost every other wireless transmitter that i think this is probably a really good one for the very low price.

Road Trip.......2006-07-09

I wished the range to find a empty station was wider. Sometimes I couldn't find a unbroadcasted area from FM88-95.

Complete Pain.......2006-06-12

I thought it was a complete pain to have to adjust the radio then adjust the knob on the transmitter. It's very hard to manage while trying to drive so I dont recommend this. I wish I would have just paid a little more money for something better.

Plug is a "dud".......2007-12-07

This car/iPod adapter was very easy to use, and it held my iPod in a very comfortable position to use while driving. BUT, I can only speak from my ONE experience with it as the connector broke off in my brand new iPod! Luckily it was so brittle that with a little jiggling, it fell apart and out of my iPod.
It then fell directly into the trash.

Only worked for 3 months........2007-10-05

This product only lasted 3 months, and it wasn'y easy to turn on & off. Power button had to get pressed for several seconds to make it work. And transmitter's design it's not to best to reach it. OK for the low price I guess ($15).

Great charger, OK transmitter.......2007-10-05

I have yet to find a FM Transmitter for my iPod that sounds good. BUT, this does work great as a charger and holder for my iPod. But I'm not completely sold on the sound. So far, the best sound I found is using the cassette adapter, which I know is quickly becoming obsolete.

So-so product.......2007-07-23

The idea of the product is great, but the delivery leaves a bit to be desired. It charges great, holds onto the device great, but the FM transmitter part is far from great. The sound quality is horrible, very muffled. I use it only to charge my ipod on the way to work.

Worth buying.......2007-07-17

I just got this item 2 days ago. I have tried other FM transmitters and all I heard was static (Yuk!). I bought this item and I tell you, it was worth every dollar, it was %100 static free!!! Hek yes! You will not be dissapointed with this item, buy it if no other transmitters work. I have heard this item sells for $200+ I can see why it sells for that much, it works great.

The Coby FM Transmitter does what it is supposed to do, does it elegantly and with little if any anoyances. Plug it in, find a station free spot on your FM dial, set the Coby to that same frequency, plug your MP3 player in and Rock On. Wayne and Garth never had it so good.

This unit features a very cool blue display, tunes as many frequencies as any FM radio can, plugs into a lighter or outlet and has another outlet on the front under a flip up top.

I detect very, very little difference in sound quality between this and my FM stations. Bass is clean and tight and I have never lost the signal. The added bonus of the spare outlet is a well thought out addition and just great design genius.

My suggestion is to get this unit ASAP, as the price is just too good to pass up. It saved me an easy $60.00 in modifications to add a physical jack for my player at the local car audio emporium. Go for it...Uncle Willie

Excellent Transmission for the Coby-745.......2007-10-25

The Coby-745 is in my opinion, the all-around best buy in the wireless FM car transmitter market. At $17.99 on Amazon, it is roughly half the price of most of it's competitors, but what's amazing is that it provides additional features! The cap on the built in car charger flips off to reveal a spot for another charging plug (like for a cell phone for example). The springs hold the device in tightly while in use and the charger unit is hinged to the transmitter, providing for a 360 degree+ rotation of the unit. The light up screen in blue shows the full frequency channels you can select from with the lighted dial, in increments of 0.1 MHz.

This unit doesn't just look pretty and have nice features, it also performs extremely well. On a 40 minute commute through back roads, highway and city, the unit didn't lose signal once and I heard ZERO interference, yes, that's right, none! Compare that to other reviews.

Downsides? All the downsides are common to most other transmitters: it doesn't have an on/off button, so you have to unplug the unit if you want it to stop drawing power. To get the sound just right, you have to crank the treble on your car stereo a tad (although this just may be a personal preference). And, you have to crank the volume on your mp3 player and/or stereo (and remember to turn the volumes back down when you use your stereo or mp3 player without the transmitter or else risk blowing out your eardrums). There was some static noise when handling the unit initially although I found this went away quickly as the static charge (coming from the user) dispersed.

The sound quality amazes me- very near CD quality sound- and I was very pleased there was no interference- in the 40 minutes driving, I never had to switch channels. As long as it holds up, I don't plan on switching transmitters anytime soon either. The Coby-745 rocks.

Good for the money!.......2007-11-21

I believe that with FM transmitters, you really get what you pay for. If you are willing to pay extra, you get a better machine.

This transmitter worked really good! When my MP3 player's batteries started dying down, it had lots of static, just like my other FM transmitters used to do.

Great transmitter for the money!

Returned Item.......2007-07-14

I returned this item, all I got was static. I thought with the "Monster" name it would be a good product, this is not the case. Amazon does a great job with returns though, credit card was refunded promptly with no questions asked.

Monster FM Transmitter does not disappoint.......2007-06-06

I purchased the Monster RadioPlay Wireless FM Transmitter for my wife for her birthday, and she absolutely loves it. She uses it almost all the time when she is in the car. The reception is excellent and the sound/clarity is as good as the quality of the mp3 (since mp3's can be recorded at different settings).

Overall I am very pleased and would have no problem purchasing another Monster produce.

works OK.......2007-05-06

I was not completely impressed with the Monster MP3 adapter. It works OK, but not as well as I'd like. The sound level is fairly low but tolerable. My vehicle has the antenna in the rear window, which doesn't help matters. Over all I'd say it's not bad, but I wouldn't buy one again...
