Reviews for Monster iCarPlay Cassette 800 for iPhone and iPod

I've considered swapping my CD changer for an expensive aftermarket iPod iPhone auxiliary unit that would have cost $400+ but this does the trick. Although CD quality or a digital connector would be better sound, but for the money you can't beat this tape-adapter. As far as tape adaptors go this one is far superior. The previous monster tape adapter was lousy compared to this one, this one dosen't seem to have any moving parts inside which made the previous product a piece of junk and sounded terrible. Also this iCarPlay has a reinforced "1/8th inch adapter that plugs into the headphone jack, the old one wasn't and eventually crimped and exposed wire. iPhone sounds great, just keep the volume set around 60% to avoid distortion. I highly recommend this product for a tape-adapter.

I bought this to go with my new iPhone 5 because my old radio transmitter can't work with it (thanks Apple). The very first time using it was on my way home. The drive take about 25 minutes. This product stopped working 5 times. Stopped working as in stopped playing and wouldn't resume. I had to eject the cassette then put it back in. 5 times. While on my way home. This is a stupid thing. But props the the marketing team, they made a hunk of junk look pretty good. I wouldn't say don't buy it, but I can't recommend it.

This just does not sound good at all,like an old style transistor radio.Don't waste your time or your money.

We have bought two of these for two different cars, each one has been bad on purchase. The hideous loud buzz mentioned in other reviews, from two different units, on two different tape players. Appalling that they even still sell this product.

Makes loud buzzing sound -- when it does anything. Works fine with my Classic.

I've tried several cassette adapter models and none compare in sound quality to this device. I found it to be better than the FM modulator I had previously as well.

This was really cheap, and if you can get the cord to stay in the phone, the music is not bad (for what this thing cost) but my cord will not stay in the phone. I have a Iphone5 with a Otterbox case, and I'm not sure if the case causes it or not, too much trouble to remove the case so haven't tried that yet, but even so I doubt I would remove it just for the music. It's a great idea and glad it works for a lot of others, but not sure I'll use it much due to the cord popping out in the middle of songs.

Complete waste of money!
