Reviews for Monster iCarPlay Cassette 800 for iPhone and iPod

Monster, nice cables but their accessories are the same stuff as the $8 variants hanging right next to the fancy black Monster. I've been through 3-4 cassette adaptors in the last 2 years, each lasting for about 6 months until the cable frays or the little plastic gear inside crumbles. Basically this one gets one star for being black & red, cool combination. Another star for working just as well as the random $8 "icassette" varient. Thats it, $8... $25... same thing. Cheers.

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 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.
