this product really works, be careful of older icar play models they will play but not charge the ipod. this one plays and charges ipod sounds fine when you find a quiet channel
Ok product but not worth the price tag...

Reviewer: steppinrazor,
Not a bad product but nothing about it constitutes a $100 price tag. I was told by a friend that both the 800 and 1000 icarplay fm transmitters/chargers are by and large defective. Had to bring back the 800 due to intolerable audio interference and payed the extra $20 for this. So far, so good. If you're complaining about the 'bleeding' of other fm stations, that tends to be true of any fm transmitter when driving in any urban area. My complaint is that the usb port on the charger is already beginning to become loose.
It should be better for $100

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! My Griffin Technologies Navigate inline FM radio and remote doesn't require a massive volume setting to work and it uses the same docking connector.

I'll keep it for another week and see if the problem is the user and not the product, but I hope there are better options.
Piece of junk

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,
Device display did not work.

This product is relatively easy to use with regard to the buttons and setup. However it was VERY hard to find a station that it could transmit on and when it did find that station, it was mostly static. You could hardly hear the music from the iphone. I am returning it. Not even worth contacting Monster tech support.
