Listen to Your iPod® or iPhone™ On Any Car’s FM Radio
You love listening to your iPod or iPhone everywhere you go. Now there's a way to enjoy your favorite songs even more. The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 gives you an easy way to listen to your iPhone and iPod music on any car's FM radio, whether you're commuting in your own car, road tripping in a friend's convertible, or behind the wheel of a vacation rental. It's like having your own private radio station that plays all your favorite songs.

Take It On the Road and Get Big Stereo Sound
The iCarPlay Wireless 250 is designed to let you play your iPod or iPhone music in any car by sending a wireless audio signal that plays over the FM radio. Just connect the iCarplay Wireless 250 to your iPod or iPhone and plug the power adapter into your car's cigarette lighter outlet. Tune the iCarPlay Wireless 250 and the radio to the same FM frequency, and turn up the music. Now everyone in the car can enjoy iPod tunes through the car's speaker system.

Advanced Features Give You Crisp, Clear Sound Wherever You Drive
The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 is engineered to deliver the best possible sound and reduce interference wherever you drive. Advanced circuitry rejects cell phone interference so you don't hear annoying beeps and buzzes. And the iCarPlay Wireless 250 outputs a line-level audio signal that minimizes distortion, so you hear full-range dynamic sound for an incredible listening experience.

Easy To Use
Exclusive Monster AutoScan 3D™ technology rapidly scans the FM spectrum three times and locks in the clearest FM frequency, so you’re automatically tuned to the best station. To eliminate the distraction of manual tuning, you also can enter three pre-set stations on the iCarPlay Wireless 250 for easy one-touch tuning – it's just like entering any station preset on your car radio.

Convenient Charging While You Drive
The iCarplay Wireless 250 also charges, so you can listen on the longest road trips and your iPod or iPhone will have plenty of power when you arrive at your destination. Additionally, you can disconnect the iCarPlay from the power adapter and charge virtually any USB device in the car – cell phones, cameras, and more.* You can even use the iCarPlay Wireless 250 to listen to your iPod tunes at your home or office – wherever there's an FM radio. The iCarPlay Wireless 250 is the ultimate car companion for your iPod or iPhone. *Device cable not included. Some USB devices require authentication for charging. Please consult your device manual.

              Ok, lets see I this is my second FM transmitter that I have tried and this one didn't work either. I took it out of the package and plugged it in and the LCD screen lit up but didn't show the freq. It just flashed some random digits and then quit working completely. Don't waste your money or time.

                  At best, this thing broadcasts audio slightly louder than the background radio noise it's trying to overcome. Hisses and whines often make listening to an audio podcast very difficult.

                  The station finder almost always picks a station with an actual broadcast on the channel, frequently missing frequencies I know to be dead all over town.

                  At worst, the product randomly reboots, sometimes frequently. The cig lighter power supply flashes on and off and makes using it so unreliable as to not be worth it. I returned the product to the store for a replacement, and the replacement, after less than 2 months, exhibits the same symptoms, even though I've changed the car AND the iphone.

                  It is even more frustrating than the previous Monster cable FM transmitter thing that broke after 15 months (a different model).

                  I'll go out of my way to avoid Monster products.

                    I travel on the road a lot and I use my iPod on the near constant basis. When my old Monster Wireless finally gave up the ghost (close to 4 yrs), I didn't bat an eye about buying another Monster Wireless. It was a no brainer. The new one was great. The auto scan feature is terrific. It finds the clearest station for my podcasts & tunes on stations I would never have though to check. The sound quality is great and near clear, depending on station strength. Monster - I wouldn't use anything else.

                     SAFETY TIPS

                    Important Monster® Performance and Safety Tips
                    Listen Responsibly

                    To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.

                    Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.

                    Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.

                    This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.
                    SoundNoise Level (dB)Effect
                    Whisper30Very quiet
                    Quite Office50-60Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB
                    Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer70Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
                    Food Blender85-9085 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
                    Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer100No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB
                    Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer110Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
                    Rock Concerts (varies)110-140Threshold of pain begins around 125dB
                    "....a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume."
                    "....knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important."
                    From http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html
                    Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels.
                    Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before.

                    Use Responsibly

                    Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.

                    It's dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car's horn and emergency vehicle sirens.

                    Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

                    Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.
