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.

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.

Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 FM Transmitter with AutoScan
Poor Technology
Written by JH from URBANDALE
Dec 26, 2008
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 almost 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. …More86 of 91 people found this useful

Not up to Monster Standards
Written by JS from Rockford
Dec 19, 2008
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 the 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. …More

It doesn't connect well whatsoever and I had to constantly change the radio station in order to play a static-y version of all my songs. It was horrible and I don't recommend it at all. …More

Absolute waste
Written by LL from costa mesa

I've bought 2 of these thinking I broke the first one by spilling something on it. Not the case. The music NEVER sounded good ONCE. And the screen was always flashing and turning on and off going crazy. This adapter is so poor I can't use it period. It just doesn't work!!!

Do not buy this product
Written by AL from Providence
Sep 23, 2009
I returned this product not because of the static, but because the LED display did not work. What gets me is that I bought this one to replace an earlier model Monster FM Transmitter with the same problem. I listen to books on tape so I am not troubled by the poor sound quality.
Monster should not put into the stream of commerce poor quality products, especially at a high price of $99. …More7 of 9 people found this useful
