It's a real monster

It's a piece of junk. I used it on a one hour trip and never found a working station. Tried at least 5 different stations. The connection to the iPod was loose and broke off constantly. The sound quality was so bad that I couldn't hear anything. In contrast, I bought the Griffin iTrip for about the same price and it works perfectly. On the same trip it was fixed at one station and I never had to change it or look for a better station. In fact, I used it for several weeks and never had to look…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Disappear

Skip this purchase in MP3 & MP4 Accessories

I've had several FM transmitters over the years - I live in the middle of nowhere in Montana and never get radio stations - but this one fares well the worst thing i have ever bought. The sound is awful, you have to keep changing channels, plus it just stopped for me after just 2 weeks! Looks cool but works horribly. Also, the connector part takes up so much space that I had to use it without a case for my iPhone. I wish you the best of luck with your purchase! I would like to add the seller…

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Not worth the money

The price of this transmitter is average, it is not the most expensive and it is not the cheapest. I thought it would be a good replacement for my previous channel which ended sadly thanks to my dog. I was very sad when this station arrived. After dialing into the many free radio stations available (I live in the "Outback" there are very few stations there) the station failed to pick up any successfully, instead there was a lot of interference. It didn't even get better when I held the cord…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Seems to be the best FM transmitter yet

Over the years I have driven (literally driven) the block with many different brands of FM transmitters. I would say that this review is correct so far. A fairly powerful single, although I live in an area that doesn't have a lot of interference from other radio signals, and I'm also used to the slight fuzz that usually accompanies their use. Keeps my iPod classic charged and happy on the go. Two complaints. It doesn't have an auto stop feature like some of the other brands I've used. So my…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

OK, not great. The best for portable audio and video

When the transmitter picked up the transmitter, it worked well. Not great but good enough to hear the song. We took it on a trip from Michigan to South Korea, and wherever we went (plains, mountains, valleys) I struggled to find a station that the station would pick up. Strong interference between radio and transmitter. I took a reviewer's advice and kept the station as far away from the radio as possible. Sometimes it helped, sometimes not. I expected more reliability and dependability from…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Negative gift

Terribly bad equipment

Buy another FM transmitter and you will do better. First, the command wheel just doesn't work. After 50 spins back and forth and I can get him to reply maybe 5 times. It also seems horribly weak, and if it ever worked (mine didn't), it wasn't for long. Secondly, the transmission power is so low that the device had to physically touch my car radio to hear the music. I seriously tried putting it in the cassette slot to see if I could use it for a while. Finally, the unit I received was clearly…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Dismal equipment

Terrible product - doesn't work. I sent it back right away!

I was really hoping I could connect my iPod to my car stereo. It performs worse than the $10 pad I found at my local grocery store. The device I have is not stereo, but at least I have a useful product. I say this so you know I have experience and a basis for comparison. The Monster FM adapter has no FM signal strength. The car antenna is a mesh on the rear window, and the monster unit is in the front seat. I got so much noise and hash no matter which channel I used that I had to give up. It is

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Can I add anything?

Don't waste your time

Absolute crap! One of if not the worst purchase ever made from Revain. I have had the old version of this iCarPlay for years now and the old version is superior to this one. Luckily, Revain still sells the old version (Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod - see link below) and I'll be sure to replace this piece of junk with one of the above. I wouldn't bother, other than that the cable took abuse over the years and eventually started to fail. It's amazing that the…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Appearance

Actually it works. if you take the right steps

I was really hesitant to buy this transmitter because of all the horrible reviews but given the asking price I thought it was worth the risk. This is the first and only transmitter I've tried, so I have no comparison. Maybe there are others that won't let me jump through hoops. So tires? Well, it only works well if I place the transmitter properly in my car. The layout is so complex that even one inch can make the difference between pleasant music and music full of noise. To find the right…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
