Here are some customer reviews of
Monster Cable iCarPlay Plus Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod
: I live in the Washington Metropolitan area and I had high hopes after reading the reviews of this product. I even preset all possible channels on my car stereo. The only one that works at all is the very first channel and even that one almost always has a lot of static. This is strange to me because it even works better on this setting when you can hear the original channel is coming in pretty clear and another channel is not. Sometimes if I move my ipod around I get a bit of a better reception but when your driving this is not very practical. If I had not already thrown away the package I would definitely return it.
 This may be OK for some people if you can find a good station to play it on. I can't find anything in my area that was free of interference enough to be usable, and in most cases I can't even hear it at all. It worked a little better when I retracted the antenna on my car, but I don't want to do that every time I want to listen.
My old iTrip worked much better until it finally broke on me.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! I don't think it's too much to have expected something more from a company called Monster Cable.
I bought this thinking "GREAT! Fewer cables strewn all over my car" I COULDN'T BE MORE DISAPPONTED! The interefernce is worse than having cables everywhere. I live in an urban area. This product has 8 stations at the lower FM band - exactly where all the public radio and college radio stations are vying for inexpensive bandwidth. The stray signals boucing everywhere means you have to juggle stations continuously. I spend more time trying to locate a clear frequency than I do changing songs on the iPod. A casette adapter which comes with any discman works fine and has no interference. I'll tolerate another cable dangling about for not having to jugle frequencies.
Maybe I can use this for some long distance driving when I am out in the styx, miles away from civilization and the battery won't last as long as the drive. Otherwise, this will sit in my glove box, forelorn, ignored and anxiously awaiting the day it will become useful.
 I've tried two similar products and this one offers the best sound quality, no noticeable interference, and also has the best design to prevent damage when constantly plugging in and unplugging into an outlet.
My experience with this....is that it is a piece of junk. Static was consistently present no matter what channel I tuned to. Very surprised because everything I have ever bought that is associated with an Apple iPod has been spectacular. If you want good quality music to be played thru your car stereo from your iPod...DON'T BUY THIS ITEM.
