Monster iCarPlay Wireless 1000 FM Transmitter for iPod and iPhone

I was a little hesitant to spend $100 on an FM transmitter, but I had a gift card so why not? The auto-tune scans quickly, but it is frustrating. Maybe it is because Pittsburgh seems to have a ton of radio stations, but I'm sure no more than any other bigger city. It has a hard time picking a frequency that will allow me to drive the 8 miles from my office to home without having to stop and rescan. Sure I could use the presets to store three stations, but that's assuming this transmitter can overpower them.

One other thing is that the signal it broadcasts is pretty faint: you have to crank the volume up on the radio to hear the audio clearly. Your poor ears will suffer if the radio frequency suddenly overpowers the transmitter!

You don't see too many reviews here because paying $100 for a FM transmitter is way too much.

Ignoring that I bought this for a gift I couldn't give until about 2 months after I got it.

But when we try it it was dead, the display doesn't lit so I have no way to know what channel it has selected, I know it kind of works because the iPod sets itself in charging while connected.

Don't know what to do with it now, the return is too expensive as I'm from another country, would end paying more for that.

I don't recommend it.

Sergio,

I sent this product back for return. The device display did not even work. 0 stars.
