This is my fourth FM transmitter (first Monster brand one)for an Ipod and/or Itouch. The only thing I like about it is that it charges my Itouch.
In terms of transmitting my music through my radio, it is horrible. If I'm using it and I drive past another vehicle with a transmitter in it, it cuts out the signal until we pass each other. If I drive past a city bus, police car, ambulance, fire truck or any construction vehicles... the signal cuts out. For some reason when I drive past gas stations, the signal cuts out. The signal cuts out in certain areas of residential housing for no obvious reason at all. My drive to and from work is when I use this most frequently and the signal experiences interference at least 7 times each way. Even when there is nothing interferring withe signal, there is a constantstatic in the background regardless of the radio station it is set to. This product is so disappointing, I actually am questioning if I will ever buy a Monster product again, as clearly I bought a product with the Monster name on it, not a quality Monster product. If I still had the original packaging I would return it to the store I bought it from.

Its an okay product

  • No AUX required
  • Works with iPhone

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Monster Cable 1010855 1010855 Monster iCarPlay Wireless 500 FM Transmitter for iPod:

It's an okay product...it has problems with static, but it was very easy to set up. My problem was that my car did not have a built in AUX port, so using this I was finally able to listen to music in my car. The Griffin product that was pretty much the same thing was cheaper, but in the past I have had problems with their products. Hopefully this lasts...only downside to this that I have experienced so far is that it has static a lot. I have to change the station and then its all good.

Comments about Monster Cable 1010855 1010855 Monster iCarPlay Wireless 500 FM Transmitter for iPod:

I was very confident with this purchase and so excited to finally play music in my car since this is the only way that I can do so. Let's just say that it worked perfect for day one. I used it on a short trip to McDonald's and on on the way back it quit working completely and only charged. Yesterday it wouldn't work at all, but today it works???? (still on the same station) seems to be that this only works when it decides to. Only really useful for charging. For paying the price of almost $80 I would expect a much higher quality from this thing. I'm actually returning it tonight.

        Comments about Monster Cable 1010855 1010855 Monster iCarPlay Wireless 500 FM Transmitter for iPod:

        I have owned this product for less than a week. After using it twice, last night it stopped delivering a charge. It still lights up and connections on both ends are OK. Monster wants me to pay to ship the device back for warranty replacement, but instead its going back to the retailer with the receipt.

        After calling tech support, the first girl was very pleasant but tried to steer me to a more expensive product. I wanted to know was there anything I could try further, so was transferred to the second tier support people. After being on hold for a few minutes I got connected to a female who honestly sounded as if she were half asleep or on drugs - she was so disinterested.

        All she could tell me was "if it won't charge then its defective you need to exchange it". Thanks for nothing.

        Also, I was not happy with the presets as they were at the extreme ends of the radio spectrum and excluded a lot of available frequencies.

        Overall, a complete waste of time and money - and the tech support sucks.

          Presets no very accurate with channels, almost always static through the channels. Had it for 4 months then it broke not it only plays through the passenger side speakers and now it is even cutting out when I pick up my phone. Over all this thing is a huge waste of money and is very poorly constructed. VERY disappointed.

                Bought the thing, tested it in a friends car to make sure it worked. Really difficult to even get power to come on. Once i got to my car, I had to hold it in with a lot of force to even get the light to come on and once i released my grip it would shut off. I havent even had it for 24 hours but luckily i saved the receipts.

                    Bought this while on a road trip to WV in November. It is January 12 and not working. It won't transmit with the radio. Just spent 40 minutes on hold and was told that they needed a receipt to do anything. Am I suppose to keep every receipt? Waist of [$]. Will never buy ANOTHER monster product. Terrible product and terrible customer service. Agent just wanted to get me off the line. DO NOT BUY A MONSTER PRODUCT EVEN FOR YOUR WORST ENEMY!!!!!!
