Monster Cable

Our take on the Monster Cable iCarPlay™ Wireless 1000

by Ralph Graves

The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 1000 lets you play music from your iPod or iPhone through any car radio. It transmits songs from your docking iPod on an FM frequency for playback.

The system's power adapter plugs into your car's 12-volt cigarette lighter, keeping your player charged while you listen. And the adapter's connected the iCarPlay 1000 through a USB plug. Detach the cord, and you can use the adapter's open USB terminal to plug in and charge a USB-compatible device, such as a cell phone or PDA.

A handy auto-scan function quickly finds the clearest frequency to use, and you can select up to three presets as well. In-line controls let you choose the frequency at the touch of a button, Advanced audio circuitry minimizes cell phone interference so your music sounds clearer.

    It's ok, but.....

    Written By Patrick, Chester, VA on Saturday, December 01, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    The Monster Cable brand is probably the better made product of this type on the market now, but not worth the price. I'm thinking $40-50 would be more realistic. Ok, with that being said, the only way to really sum up a device like this is, they are only as good as your FM reception on the radio you are listening to.I have owned several of these over the years, different makes, models, etc, but they all really perform the same. It's not uncommon for someone to pull up beside you at a stoplight and hear their music through your radio-that's the truth. They all have a low broadcast wattage (to meet FCC guidelines) which usually result in poor sound quality or dissatisfaction with the product. But this is your only option, if you: lease a car, a rental, or a company vehicle that has no iPod interface to use. Another thing to definately keep in mind is the case you're currently using with your iPhone/iPod. This adapter has the 30 pin connector mounted right at the top of the bulky display module. It will not fit snugly into the bottom of the iPhone/iPod used with a thick case. Like I said in the title, "it's ok, but..."
    Pros:
    Only option if you don't have a radio with an iPod interface, can use it in any vehicle
    Cons:
    Connector will not fit on devices with thick cases, poor sound quality, price

    Monster Cable icar play wireless 1000

    Written By Carl, Santa Ynez, CA on Saturday, March 31, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I need a device to play my ipod in the car, be moveable from one car to another, and charge the battery in the ipod. I am willing to sacrifice a little on the sound quality to get the moveability and charging. I use it in 3 older cars with funky original factory stereos, so I cannot get the best sound anyway. This is the fourth FM ipod player I have owned. This one is the best, easiest to use, and the most expensive. It meets my goals.
    Pros:
    The problem with this type of device is finding an unused frequency on your FM dial. This thing automatically scans to find the unused frequencies. You can easily scan to find another frequency, or you can preset stations.
    Cons:
    If you have an excellent car stereo with good speakers, you probably should look for a device with more permanent installation to get better sound quality. I'm fine with this one.

    Monster does it again!

    Written By PeteM, Ewa Beach, Hawaii on Saturday, May 28, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I have purchased several Monster products in the past and have always been satisfied with the decision. Once again Monster delivers in this product. The fit and finish is nice and the unit is easy to use. I live in a region with crowded airwaves the iCarPlay lets me store several presets to easily switch between frequencies if necessary. Even if your head-unit is sensitive enough to pick up distant stations on a particular preset frequency the Monster iCarPlay seems to have enough signal strength to overcome it with a clear and clean signal.

    The ability to use the USB adapter as a car charger for all my other gadgets is a bonus as well.

    Big let down

    Written By JT, San Diego on Thursday, May 26, 2011
     
    FM transmitters are notorious for poor to avg at best sound quality but my choices were limited so I went with Monster because they're "the best". This is better than other fm transmitters but it is still terrible, don't spend this much money for it! I've had great experiences with Monster, so this product is a disappointing exception.

    Not Compatible With iPhone4

    Written By Don, Minnesota on Friday, May 20, 2011
     
    I bought this on a whim hoping that it would work with my iPhone4 because there was no mention of it being incompatible, and now I'm out this much. Be sure that what you are looking at is compatible.

    [Editor's Note: Crutchfield's web presentation states that it is compatible with the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS.]

    I like it .My car is older and my cd player stopped working so hooking up my ipod works
    great.
    I'm pretty technically illiterate and I figured it out.

    Disappointed

    Written By FTS, San Francisco on Saturday, September 04, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I decided to spend the extra money for this model because it was a charger too. Turns out that's all I got out of it. Its autoscan function repeatedly led to FM stations already in use and when manual tuning was used there was minimal to no sound out put. I am returning this product. However, Crutchfield has been great.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This device works fine if you are in a rural area, however if you are in a big city you will have to constantly change the channel because static continues to come across each channel.
