Reviews for Monster iCarPlay Cassette 800 for iPhone and iPod

I was a little skeptical about this product because I had tried a similar cassette adapter a few years ago, and the clicking from the cassette player was all I could hear. But Jon at the Apple store in Hingham MA assured me that he uses the same product and that the sound is amazing. I figured for the price it was worth another shot. I plugged it in while sitting in the parking lot, and my car stereo has never sounded so good! I highly recommend this product-the quality and the price can't be beat.

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.

This worked sporadically at first & then kept popping out of the cassette player even though I knew I had everything positioned correctly.

An email from monster customer service said to: unscrew the four screws that hold the two halves together and reroute the cable so that it exits the cassette adapter to the other side.

Seemed odd to me that I would have to do that because it had worked correctly the first few times I used it. When I followed the directions above, 1: all the gears fell out leaving me no clear idea how to put it back together. 2: the cable doesn't reach to the 'other side'.

This is now a piece of electronic recycle out of warranty.

I'm very disappointed with this product. The adapter doesn't fit into the headphone jack. I have to jam it into the hole, otherwise the music sounds like static which isn't satisfying to the ears. It's too time consuming to jam and adjust the adapter into the jack. Save your money people and look elsewhere

I have tried several different FM transmitters only to be disappointed of extreme static and always having to change the channel. We went to the apple store this past Saturday after once again searching for a transmitter to play my Iphone music in my car. We decided on the Monster iCarPlay 800 tape transmitter after reading the reviews. I have to say I am thrilled! No more changing stations and static. We live in Jacksonville, FL a good sized city and I can now play my music with no interference and the quality of the sound is awesome! I highly recommend this product if you have a tape deck and are looking to play your music in your car off your iPod or iPhone. You won't be disappointed! I'm lovin it.

I had an earlier version of this product and like many others noted, the sound quality and "clicking" sound was awful. I was reluctant to try this updated product by Monster given the still mixed reviews, but I'm so glad I did.

This works amazingly well. The sound quality is fantastic, the volume levels are greatly improved, and there is no clicking whatsoever. I would highly recommend the iCarPlay!

Because of the way this unit is built internally, most auto-reverse cassette decks will continually try to reverse direction while "playing". This means your iPod or iPhone audio will drop out repeatedly while the deck switches, making it essentially unusable.

What can I say I have an older car with no in-jack for the audio system. This device works great, it does what it's supposed to and does it very well, at a very low cost. Now I can listen to all of my music in my car. I cannot complain, great device, highly recommended.

I have a 2006 Infiniti FX 35 with bose speakers. I bought a cheeper brand from Target only to realize that the quality sucked. Now with the Monster icarPlay Cassette 800 the sound is almost perfect i can rase the volume to max and still not hear the clicking nor the static from the cassette like my cheaper version. BEST PRODUCT IN MY CAR!

I hesitated to purchase this product because there were quite a few negative reviews but I took a chance anyway. I drive an 2001 ML430 and this fitted my casette player fine, plugged the cord into my iphone 4 and it played right away just like my CD player. I also have bose speakers so it just made it much better listening.

I recommend it. For those who it doesn't work so well with I suggest they check their casette players.
