wireless fun
The icarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter could also be called iBoatPlay. We purchased above item to use on our Sailboat while cruising Central America, playing music or listening to language lessons (while standing watch) or any other time! Simply plug said item in to an outlet, tune your radio to designated frequency, adjust your speakers to where you wish to hear the sound, and than enjoy. (I think that qualifies as a: "1-2-3" installation unit). Solid Performer- Most of the time I have been using my iCarPlay Wireless for about a year and a half now. I have had no problems whatsoever with the battery in my iPod as some have mentioned. The only problem I have is that the low end of the FM band is pretty crowded where I live and this often has me searching for a usable frequency. Some frequencies seem to work better depending on the time of day. I am getting a car in about two weeks that has an auxiliary jack (Yea!) but this product has been a reliable stop gap. If you are looking for a wireless transmitter, I would recommend this product, but remember- it is a compromise. A direct input is better. Not my bag Thi Icar comes with preset fm stations. Now that's nice in theory ,however, if those preset stations arent able to pick up a decent signal, you're basically screwed. You'll be able to sit there and switch around those presets but you're not able to search for other signals. Also, the presets are all 88.x something stations and if you live in an area with normal to heavy broadcasting, chances are that these frequencies are already in use. This happened to me, living in miami and none of the presets were able to play more than 1 min of a song without interference from another station. To add insult to injury, the thing broke within the first 24 hours I had it. Niice. Not worth it. The lack of any channel selection isn't worth the cheap price. I ended up having to buy another product to meet my needs. The Best Available Quick, Easy, Reliable, and sounds good too. I've never had a problem with this. I originally had a Belkin one but it was a bad fit for my car and several others (hard plastic allows no flexibility). If I were to buy another iPod adapter I would buy this one again. I tried to go cheap the first time and it was a waste of money. | |
