    Works really well

    This product works really well with my Bose system in my '07 Nissan Murano. It unfortunately doesn't come with an audio-in port and the "in-dash" converter is like $200 installed. I'm happy I didn't pay the 2-hundy because this has near cd quality (you need to turn the volume up on your iPod or iPhone to match the volume on your car stereo) for 25 bucks.

    This is such a terific product! I just got my first car, and unlike my mom's Ford Taurus X, my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT doesn't have an auxilary input jack. So, i ordered this and was amazed at the sound quality. It sounds great with my MONSOON audio system.

    I bought this over three years ago and it's still going strong. Sounds as good as anything else out of the cassette deck - no static or other noise. I'm very happy not to have to buy a new stereo system for my 2000 Wrangler.

    Better Sound Quality w/ the New Silver Chip Mechanism

    • Written by from Houston

    I bought this EXACT Monster iCarPlay Cassette Adapter 2 years ago and it started to make "clicking" sound so I bought a brand new one today. Monster added a new Silver Chip Mechanism towards the bottom of the tape and improved the sound quality a LOT. But if there is a bottle of oil could be provided to add to the wheels (to prevent "clicking" sound) would make this product PERFECT. Apple should really update this product pic since the new updated adapter has a new silver color coating around the adapter head. This product is way BETTER than FM transmitter.

    FINALLY…using my cassette deck after SEVEN Years!

    FINALLY…after SEVEN years, my cassette deck is getting some use! This adapter is working GREAT with my iPhone 3Gs.

    AND…YES… IT DOES WORK WITH INTERNET RADIO APPS!! (Pandora, Tuner, etc.) Sound quality is VERY good--much better than FM transmitters-- in my opinion.

    ALSO! Allows you to hear callers through car stereo and you can talk hands free on the phone. Great with my GPS app too, which was sometimes hard to hear over car and road noise.

    IN SHORT…ANY sound that your iPhone makes, that you would normally hear through earbuds or headphones, will now play through your car's stereo! THANKS Monster!

    Best Cassette adapter so far

    I've tried a number of cassette adapters and this is the only one that I've stuck with. It works and works silently. The other brands I've owned all had an annoying clicking sound when the player is in motion. The iCarPlay is quiet and solidly built.

    The sound quality is vastly superior to the FM transmitters that I own as well.

    Sounds great!

    I just got a new used car and the Monster cable that I'd been using didn't fit in the cigarette lighter properly. Since there's a tape deck I thought I'd try this product. Very happy with it. Sounds great. I do agree that the quality of your current system plays a factor and I needed to adjust the volume controls on my phone and the vehicle to cut out distortion and buzzing. After those two minor adjustments I was rocking out! Also, this is $50 cheaper than the new Monster cable I almost bought.

    works like it says it will

    It works well and for the $25 bucks this is a quick and inexpensive fix. Be aware that if your tape deck has auto reverse it will work well but sometimes the auto reverse will try to kick in. For me it's not a deal breaker because I can listen to my music from my Ipod 3/4 of the time with no challenges and it was priced well.

    It works just fine

    I use it with my iphone 4. I'm not saying the quality of sound is great but it was good enough that I am able to enjoy the music. The reason I give 4 stars not 5 is because it drops down the sound volume quite a bit that then I tune back to radio, it blasts out so loud! Other than that, I'm happy with this thing.

    The best cassette adapter on the market

    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.
