With the TuneBase FM, you can make and receive calls on your iPhone with the simple press of a button, allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel while you talk.

The TuneBase features an innovative cradle that securely holds your device while you're driving. The cradle swivels horizontally, letting you view your iPhone's GPS features and turn-by-turn directions hands-free, and giving your passengers the ability to watch videos on your iPod or iPhone. The cradle is simple to install, and for the utmost in convenience, it can be adjusted to fit all devices, even with a case on.



The cradle swivels to a horizontal position so you can fully use your iPhone's GPS features. View larger.
ClearScan Helps You Dial in the Best Reception
The TuneBase works by transmitting your music and calls over the strongest FM frequency available. ClearScan technology makes finding the clearest possible signal a snap. Simply press the ClearScan button, and the TuneBase will search for the strongest signal on your FM receiver. Adjust the stereo to the resulting station and the TuneBase FM will do the rest, so you can concentrate on the road--no more hunting through every station to enjoy your iPhone. An easy-to-read display will let you see which station you are using at any given time.

Keep Your iPhone or iPod Fully Charged
The TuneBase FM's cradle charger attaches to your compatible iPod or iPhone and draws power from your automobile's 12-volt lighter outlet. Your device will charge while you drive, so you can make phone calls and keep your tunes playing without interruption--even on the longest road trip. It also features a separate USB port, which allows you to plug in and charge a second USB device while you're driving.

Move Your Music from Car to Car
Take your favorite music along with you, even when you aren't in your own automobile. Since the TuneBase FM doesn't require you to make any permanent connections in your car, it's easy to swap between vehicles. This makes the TuneBase FM a great choice for when you want to use your phone or music player in a leased or friend's automobile.

2.0 out of 5 stars Auto-Tuning is Less than Desirable, July 12, 2011

I bought this to use in rental cars when traveling. The mount is great, it charges the iPhone but the tuning is less than desirable. It scans for an open station frequency but often finds numbers that the car radio cannot tune to. It also doesn't work well in large cities that have a lot of radio stations. You really need to know where the blank spot is in your area to be able to best use the FM tuning.

On the plus side for my situation it outputs the sound through the external audio jack instead of the 30pin iPhone connector. This is a plus because you can use it if your car has a aux line in or supports audio over bluetooth and the device will still hold and charge your device.

Ok,

I read a lot of reviews before buying this... it was 70% bad and 30% good... but it was considerably cheaper considering the other options so I bought it.

1 - It buzzes like crazy. I know FM transmitters do some buzzing but this one was the worst I have seen. I tried many, MANY different stations and they all buzz horribly loud. The transmitter has a "buzz buffer" option but it does not make a different, it will buzz no matter what.

2 - I bought one and within 5 days it went dead. It would only charge but it would not transmit music anymore. I tried taking it off, and everything I could, it was just dead. I got it replaced by my seller and the second one worked perfectly, for FIVE DAYS! Then it also went completely dead again, but this time it would not even charge the phone.

I buy many things from Amazon, but this was by far THE WORST PURCHASE I'VE EVER HAD HERE! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT WILL BREAK IN A FEW DAYS (I had 2 break within...Read more
