Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The TuneCast Auto Live from Belkin ensures optimal transmission of your iPhone or iPod music to your car's FM stereo--no matter where you're traveling. There's no need to fumble with your car's stereo buttons to find the best station--the TuneCast Auto Live puts the controls at your fingertips. It features a smart design that uses your iPhone's GPS system and location-based user feedback to give recommendations on the clearest FM stations, so you'll get high-quality music everywhere you go.

GPS-Assisted Station Locator is Easy to Use
The TuneCast Auto Live makes listening to your iPhone music in your car easier than ever. With the help of iPhone's built-in GPS system, Belkin has developed an innovative way to quickly identify FM stations with the clearest audio transmissions.

To use TuneCast Auto Live, you will first need to download the free ClearScan Live app through iTunes and launch it from your iPhone. Then, with just a push of a button, you'll get reliable FM scanning technology and station recommendations from other TuneCast Auto Live users in your area. In fact, as you use different FM stations, ClearScan Live lets you rate how well they work, so you can contribute directly to the quality of ClearScan Live's recommendations.

Control TuneCast Auto Live with Your iPhone
There's no need to fumble with car stereo buttons or squint at hard-to-read displays--the TuneCast Auto Live lets you control the FM transmission of your music library directly from your iPhone's screen. For further convenience, the TuneCast Auto Live features its own high-contrast backlit display and features large tactile buttons for easy use.

Works with iPods
Don't worry if you don't have an iPhone--the TuneCast Auto Live also works with the iPod touch, nano, and classic. Although the GPS-assisted station locator won't work with the iPod, you'll still have access to ClearScan technology, which automatically scans for the best FM frequency without the need for an app. Just press the ClearScan button and adjust the stereo to the resulting station.

Programmable Stations and Charging Capability
The TuneCast Auto Live features two preset programmable buttons that allow you to store your preferred FM stations for frequently traveled routes. The device also features a dock connector that charges your iPhone or iPod, so you can keep your tunes playing without interruption on even the longest road trip. The dock connector draws power from your automobile's 12-volt lighter outlet.

Move Your Music From Car to Car
Take your favorite music along with you, even when you aren't in your own automobile. Since the TuneCast Auto Live doesn't require you to make any permanent connections in your car, it's easy to swap between vehicles. This makes the device a great choice for when you want to enjoy your digital music player in a leased or friend's automobile.

Improve the Sound of Your Music
Fill out your music's high notes and bass for a rich sound with the TuneCast Auto Live's built-in PRO setting. This feature even boosts the volume of your digital music to better match the output of your car stereo, so your music will sound the way it's meant to.

Only having an iPhone, I had the misfortune to try a few other iPod FM transmitters. Be wary if you are looking for an FM transmitter that works with an iPhone, interference will cause problems. NOT with this product from Belkin, it is designed to work flawlessly with the iPhone. As soon as I got it, I went for a drive past some cell towers where I knew I would pick up some cell chatter, the reception was clean!

I recommend getting this product if you need / want an FM transmitter and don't go down the expensive route of trying out others. This one works out of the box and the quality of the audio is more than acceptable.

I have used the FM transmitter for the first time today with my Iphone4. It works perfectly, much better than my friends one which I used before.

The clear scan and app are easy to use and quick. The sound quality is incredible, there is no static and it picks a frequency which does not get interupted 10 miles down the road as the GPS assist selects a frequency which is not used near by.

The sound quality realy is great, there is no difference compared to listening to a CD!

I can definatly recomend, and it charges the phone ;-)

I was trying to find a FM transmitter that worked with my iPhone 4 and this fitted the bill. A couple of small problems surfaced though.

I fitted an Apple bumper to the phone and the plug-in adapter wouldn't connect without slipping the cover off first, annoying every time you use it. The plug needs to be as slim as the recharger Apple supply as standard. Secondly although the reception was virtually hiss-free when I'd worked out the controls and channel, I had to put the iPhone under the passenger sun visor to get the best reception. This left a cable bisecting you and and the passenger leading up from the cigar lighter socket. I did try other areas like on the seat next to me but it looks like an iPhone holder attached to the dashboard may be the answer. Different cars may have different reception areas so maybe it's mine.

Overall a great product and the iPhone app using GPS is a great help finding a free channel for tuning. It works fine with my 1G iPod Touch as well even though it throws up a warning telling you to use the app which I can't. You won't be disappointed.

Best I have tried
This fm transmitter for "i" products is the one to get in my opinion. Sure you need a cradle on the screen but then the GPS works better so if you use a navigation app its a plus. Read more
