Cut through the static with ClearScan--your TuneCast will automatically (and quickly) scan the FM spectrum to find a clear frequency at the push of a button. Avoid the frustration of manually finding a clear FM station. When find a couple of favorites, store them with the two programmable preset buttons.

The TuneCast's high-contrast backlit display provides high visibility, and its small size offers flexibility in placement. The device is powered by your car's cigarette lighter/power outlet, and it charges your iPod while you enjoy your music.

The included PRO setting can make your music sound louder and fuller by decreasing the amount of attenuation in the audio signal. Professional FM stations use dynamic compression to make music louder and fuller while limiting distortion. You can use the three PRO settings on your TuneCast Auto to add dynamic compression to your audio, thereby optimizing audio and boosting volume.

The TuneCast Auto is compatible with iPod 4G, 5G, 6G; iPod mini; iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G; iPod touch; and iPhone. What's in the Box
TuneCast Auto with ClearScan for iPhone and iPod

I cannot make it work on my BMW at all. It never finds a good frequency. I was able to get it working on my Passat but with a lot of static.

I bought this because I had previously purchased one from Walmart that worked quite well. That one actually sent the artist and song name to the radio via RDS too. I thought this was the same product, but evidentally there are two different models and this one doesn't send RDS info.

The quality of the music was fine however, but I don't expect a lot from FM modulators. It's good enough, and there are enough empty channels to choose from in my area.

I wish that these would tune lower though: my radio will tune to 87.5, but this only starts at 87.9 MHz.

Not bad, and it works fine with both a iPhone 16GB original (silver back) and an iPhone 16GB 3G.

I live in Central Massachusetts, and recently upgraded from and iPhone to an iPhone 3G. I had been using a Monster iCarplay, and found that while it allowed me to play music from my 3G it no longer charged the device during use. I read the reviews for the Belkin TuneCast, and was skeptical. I love the Monster device, and was having a hard time finding something comparable so I decided to give it a shot. The bottom line, this device does exactly what it says it does. It allows me to play music from my 3G's iPod over my car radio, charges, and even allows me to keep the phone enabled without interference. I have two stations set using the memory buttons that seem to work the best with the device. I found that the "ClearScan" seems to mostly choose stations at random, and these are not always the clearest. I've found that if you place the tuner portion of the Belkin closer to the actual radio, it works much better, so I have applied it directly to a panel on my dash using sticky-back Velcro. HD radio this is not. If you want crystal clear sound with no static then install a stereo that directly links your iPod with it. There's some static, and sometimes you need to use a different channel, but for a device this affordable, that broadcasts over FM radio waves, I am satisfied with the product, and the sound.

I bought this about six months ago. It's been nothing but a struggle. Do not buy this transmitter!

I live in a medium-sized town, and shouldn't have trouble finding a channel to transmit my iPod through. Well, I haven't found a channel that works well yet. I even took the arial off my car, and even then, the sound was static mixed with music. Sometimes if I held the transmitter in my hand while driving (great idea, eh?), it was able to overcome the static. Oh, but if I put my car's air conditioning or heat on, the static increased.

Anyway, I bought my friend a much lower-priced Griffin iTrip, and when I used it in my car, I was shocked at the difference. The sound was clear even on channels that weren't completely without noise. I could even leave the arial on my car with the Griffin transmitter.

So, today I went out and bought a Griffin iTrip. I wish I could return this Belkin piece of junk, but I no longer have the receipt or packaging. I will probably just throw it away as it isn't even good enough to hang on to for a backup. I can see that almost everyone here has had the same experience with the Belkin.

My wife bought me this item because the salesperson at Best Buy steered her away from the DLO Transdock I had asked for (They no longer carry it). Unfortunately, now I have to return it. My complaints are in-line with the rest. Poor FM reception, Clearscan NEVER finds clear channels. Even when it does find a clear channel, the reception is fuzzy at best. This thing's a piece of junk. You are obviously doing your homework by checking the reviews. Now, LISTEN TO THEM!!!! Stay clear of this junk!
