camhead's Full Review: Monster Cable Products iCarPlay FM Transmitter for...
After two years of owning the Monster, and not being terribly impressed with it, I am finally giving it up. It has worked terribly in all but the most remote of locations, and it frequently cuts out of one channel of my stereo. But I just found out today that it has RUINED two of my ipods!
I replaced my old 30g ipod video about three weeks ago, because my computer stopped recognizing it. It was out of warranty, so i had to buy a brand new one, full price, etc. Then, two days ago, the brand new 80g ipod classic also stopped being recognized by my computer! This was a very unique problem, and it was strange that it had happened twice to me.
I took it to the mac store, and the genius desk guy concluded that power surges via the Monster had fried the motherboards of both ipods. Now, this may have been in part due to a problem of my car, I don't know, but I plan on NEVER hooking anything from a cigarette lighter into any electronic that I value.
In the end, it would have been not much more money, and ultimately cheaper, to just get a cheap car stereo with a 1/8" audio input, which is what I plan on doing with my new (3rd) ipod. And I will have way better sound quality!
This piece of junk is highly NOT recommended. Expensive, poor quality, a pain to use, and possibly dangerous to your ipod.
