High Performance Autoscanning FM Transmitter for iPod and iPhone



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 (device cable not included).  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.


  • Smart Digital Charger technology charges your iPod while you drive

Best iPod FM transmitter I have found

"When I purchased this FM transmitter I was skeptical of the product. I didn't feel like I'd have a clear smooth sound quality and that I would have difficulty programming the stations. Boy was I WRONG! If you buy this don't just use the 88.1 station. TRY OTHER FREQUENCIES! Once I turned the radio dial to 107.3 I couldn't have been more suprised by the clarity of sound. I love this product...." Read Full Review »

Not Worth The Money

"I had the icarplay wireless plus and it works great. But when I bought a 2nd gen iPod it wouldn't charge it, so I found this one. It's the only one RS had that would charge the 2ng gen touch. After 1 day, you could barely touch the transmitter attached to the iPod and it would stop playing every time. I swapped it for another. 2 Days later this one just quits transmitting and you have to press the button again ..." Read Full Review »

"Best Buy wins with this one--I'm not taking it back, but I definitely wouldn't make the purchase again. It works OK, probably as good as any FM transmitter, and better than most. But I paid $99 hoping to get one that worked significantly better than others, and it doesn't. The sound is fine, it's go …"  Read Full Review »
