You love listening to your iPod or iPhone everywhere you go. Now there’s a way to enjoy your favorite songs even more. The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 gives you an easy way to listen to your iPhone and iPod music on any car’s FM radio, whether you’re commuting in your own car, road tripping in a friend’s convertible, or behind the wheel of a vacation rental. It’s like having your own private radio station that plays all your favorite songs.
Take it on the roadThe iCarPlay Wireless 250 is designed to let you play your iPod or iPhone music in any car by sending a wireless audio signal that plays over the FM radio. Just connect the iCarplay Wireless 250 to your iPod or iPhone and plug the power adapter into your car’s cigarette lighter outlet.

Advanced circuitry rejects cell phone interference so you don’t hear annoying beeps and buzzes. And the iCarPlay Wireless 250 outputs a line-level audio signal that minimizes distortion, so you hear full-range dynamic sound for an incredible listening experience.
Easy to useExclusive Monster AutoScan 3D technology rapidly scans the FM spectrum three times and locks in the clearest FM frequency, so you’re automatically tuned to the best station. To eliminate the distraction of manual tuning, you also can enter three pre-set stations on the iCarPlay Wireless 250 for easy one-touch tuning.
Convenient chargingThe iCarplay Wireless 250 also charges, so you can listen on the longest road trips and your iPod or iPhone will have plenty of power when you arrive at your destination. Additionally, you can disconnect the iCarPlay from the power adapter and charge virtually any USB device in the car--cell phones, cameras, and more.* You can even use the iCarPlay Wireless 250 to listen to your iPod tunes at your home or office-- wherever there’s an FM radio.

Un happy

Save your money. I have a new car with AUX jack and play my Ipod all the time it is just great.
So I thought I would try this item…Read more.
Without going on and on, this item is of very poor quality.
It unfair to sell something like this when all it does is make my wonderful Ipod sound bad! If I could I would give it no stars.(2 of 4 people found this review useful)

I bought one and it lets in so much static and other station bleed-in. The first one I got kept losing signal and cutting out, I t…Read morehought it was a bad unit - so returned it. The second one does the same thing. The only way to fix is unplug it from my i-touch and replug it in. Definately not worth the $100-$125 they go for here in Canada. Get a direct auxiliary plug in put in else some other direct line-in option. Do not buy this product - distracts you too much and is dangerous while driving in car. Find another option!

Not up to Monster Standards

I upgraded to a 3G iPhone and found that my old Monster transmitter worked but did not charge. I loved that product so I bought t…Read morehe 250 FM which is compatible with the 3G. This product kept changing transmitting frequency, often without even finishing the first song. Sound quality was also poor. Several songs clipped on the new Monster product that played well with my old Monster transmitter. I haven't found another product that works as well as my old monster, so I am still using my old one and charging up when I need to. Purchased Radio Finder off of the Apps store so that I can find stations when I am traveling and charging my iPhone.

Poor Technology

These devices may seem like a good idea but they just do not work. If you live in an area where you get radio frequency noise on …Read morealmost every station (midwest cities with no obstructions) then you never will get a clear signal. If your car radio has a good antenna forget it.
I watched a review online before buying this but I failed to realize that they were inside of an insulated building during the test. They probably had no radio signals that would interfere. The controls are also cheap. Hard to read LCD display. Cheap buttons. Probably has $5.00 or less in manufacturing costs.(53 of 58 people found this review useful)
