 "Works Great, but NOT on iPod Touch Gen 2" | 2008-09-23 |
| - Reviewed By dougscomp1 |
This FM transmitter is the best, hands down, tested and proved. I used 3 others from different companies before giving in and spending the extra money to get the monster. We have one in every car now, a hefty investment. They work infinitely better than anything else i've personally tried or seen my friends use.
PROBLEM: I gave in an got the iPod touch Generation 2. I plug in the monster and the iPod says that the device is incompatible and will not charge the ipod. I have to acknowledge the warning and move on. Music will still play through the iCar BUT it doesnt charge the iPod. THis defeats the purpose of having a powered FM transmitter. This worked fine on my first generation iPod touch, but not on the 2nd gen. Be careful, I don't think anyone has anything out yet that will charge the iPod Touch Gen 2 AND play music from it at the same time yet.
If that problem doesn't effect you, I'd say give in, spend the money and buy it. |

| It works so so..... Some static is detectable. Benefit of charging the ipod while in use in the car. |

This was possibly the best radio broadcaster that I've used for my iPod. That said, the utility of these was rather lacking as I live in the city and drive through traffic constantly. If I wasn't having enough problems finding open stations, driving past other vehicles inhibits the broadcast quality.
In the end, I realized that my car's cassette player was a wonderful option to have installed. Any lossage possible over that connection is nowhere near as bad as the unpredictable FM spectrum. Until my next car comes with a direct input jack, this is just a car charger for me. |

| I have tried 3 different Ipod adapters in my wife's car, and one more in my truck. The Monster cable works well enough but its biggest drawback is that it's very difficult to change the channel. Unlike some other transmitters that have simple up/down buttons, the Monster cable needs to be reprogrammed to change channels, which you can't do while driving. |

For the price I paid for this thing I expected it to last longer than it did.
For one thing, the sound quality sucks. I ended up staying with the cassette player adapter instead of listening to my iPod though this.
It was good for keeping it charged while listening though... until the cord wore out and at that point it was completely useless.
Would I buy this again? Not a chance. |

| Works great when not in large city with a lot of high-power signals around. Does what it should for a portable unit. Great quality from Monster. |

| I 've owned this product for about a year or more now. In general it works just as described, but in the city where the radio stations have a stronger signal you will encounter a lot of static interference. I drove to Nicaragua with it and it was great, was able to keep my iPod charged while enjoying my tunes during the 12hr drive. When I drive to work I don't use it anymore because there's simply too much interference, therefore I decided to upgrade my stereo head unit and purchased the Pioneer DEH-P6900UB that has a USB connection. Now that is quality, no more interference. I find it's a bit over priced for what you get, but it works, just keep in mind while driving in the city you may not get a clear signal and therefore not good sound. The further you go away from the city the better it works. |

| This thing works great! Much more compact than some of the other adaptors I've tried. Great for if you travel lots and have to get rental cars, will charge your iPod too! |

| I bought this product on Amazon used for about half off the original price from a highly rated seller. It arrived quickly and appeared in great condition. I plugged it in and it didn't work. Then it worked - then it went haywire. So far I've enjoyed a few songs on it but it wasn't worth the money. |
