Amazon.com Product Description
Why shuffle through stacks of CDs and tapes to find the song you want in the car when you can listen to the iPod? The Monster Cable iCarPlay Wireless Plus FM transmitter gives your car stereo great-sounding, wireless access to your entire iPod library, all while charging the portable jukebox to keep the music playing. Simply plug one end of the iCarPlay Wireless Plus into the 12-volt cigarette lighter and the other end into the dock connector on the bottom of your iPod. Once you select matching FM stations on your car stereo and the iCarPlay device, you're ready to roll. Your favorite music will transmit wirelessly to your car stereo using FM frequencies, and because it offers full FM tuning flexibility (excluding 87.7 and 87.9 MHz), you're guaranteed top-quality, interference-free sound. Meanwhile, Monster's Smart Digital Charging technology will rapidly charge your iPod when the power is low, and when its fully charged, the transmitter switches to a trickle charge to optimize the iPod's performance. You'll never have to worry about running out of power when using the iCarPlay. Additional features include three programmable "favorite station" preset buttons, an easy-to-ready LED display, and 24k gold contacts for maximum corrosion resistance and power transfer. The iCarPlay is compatible with all iPods that utilize a dock connector, including the iPod mini. iPod Compatibility
iPod nano 1G, iPod nano 2G, iPod mini, iPod 3G, iPod 4G (Clickwheel), iPod Color, iPod 5G/5.5G Video

 Works Great June 25, 2008
My Monster cord arrived promptly and works great. I would order from this seller again.
 Not the best June 20, 2008
This is not the best FM transmitter I have used, but it works pretty well most of the time. I had a Kensington FM tranmitter (that was stolen) that worked much better. I live in a metro area, so it is somewhat difficult to find open stations; I have to change stations at least once on my way to work most days. That being said, I used it while driving 500 miles this past weekend and rarely had to change the station.
 Better than the newer version June 10, 2008
I had one of these before and lost it. Bought the newer, pricier, "improved" version and hated it. It would take control of the ipod and mess up the settings. This one works great and leaves the controls and settings on the ipod alone.
Improvement over others June 10, 2008
I was relatively impressed. It locks onto stations a lot better than a battery-powered Belkin and that's what matters the most to me. It does not perform all that well in urban areas. But it is enough to get by if you don't have a cassette player in your car.
Super-Duper Excellent June 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product is superb for several reasons:
1. Custom presets for listening (not just limited to 6 factory set presets)
2. The iPod automatically starts playing when the car starts up
3. The iPod automatically stops when the car is turned off (usually...see below)
4. The iPod continuously charges for optimal battery power
Sometimes, however, the iPod will continue to play even though the car has been turned off. It happens randomly and not every time.
FEATURE REQUEST: It would be sweet if the cord was retractable in some fashion. This would keep the car a bit more clean/tidy looking and less cluttered. Ultimately a retractable cord for both ends of the transmitter would be best.
Overall, this is a great product and works well. The biggest plus is the custom presets and wide range of channels to pick from.
