Monster Introduces FM Transmitters For iPod nano, iPod shuffle and iPod video
The Newest Addition to Monster’s MP3 Family of Products Allows Enthusiasts
to Play Stored Music Wirelessly Through Their Car Stereo Systems
Monster is proud to announce the launch of iCarPlay Wireless Plus for iPod
nano and video and iCarPlay Wireless Plus for iPod Shuffle. Monster’s
latest products allow iPod users to play stored music wirelessly through
virtually any FM station on their car radios while simultaneously charging
their iPods.
“Ever since we released the iCarPlay Wirless Plus for iPod, it has been an
incredibly popular product. That product made it convenient for these iPod
enthusiasts to listen to their tunes through their car stereo systems,”
explained Noel Lee, The Head Monster. “We are now releasing two products so
that iPod nano, video and shuffle users can have the same high quality
music experience and keep their players charged at the same time. These new
products include digital FM tuning, programmable presets and fast charging
for clear stereo sound wherever they go.”
With some FM transmitters, finding an FM frequency clear enough to play
stored music through can be difficult, especially while driving through
different areas and terrain. To counteract these issues, iCarPlay Wireless
Plus for nano, video and shuffle can be tuned to almost any clear FM
station, so the music lover has full FM tuning flexibility in getting the
best possible sound.
Connecting is easy. Simply tune the car stereo to any clear FM station,
tune iCarPlay Wireless Plus to the same station, hit play on the player,
and that’s it. The presets can be changed any time a clearer station is
desired. For added convenience, you can preset up to three of your favorite
stations.
For added flexibility and convenience while listening, these two products
feature Monster Smart Digital Charging technology that rapidly re-charges
the connected iPod.
Additional Monsterous features include:
* Three backlit programmable “favorite station” preset buttons
* Easy-to-read, dimmable LED display
* Digital FM tuner — change presets when clearer reception is needed
* 24k gold contacts for optimal signal transfer and corrosion resistance
* 3.3 foot (1 meter) cable for convenient connection
The iCarPlay Wireless Plus for nano and video retails for $79.95. The
CarPlay Wireless Plus for shuffle retails for $59.95.
For those who don’t have an iPod, Monster has also launched a new solution
with RadioPlay 300. The RadioPlay 300 has many of the same features as
iCarPlay Wireless Plus, including the ability to tune into any FM stations
and three programmable reset buttons. The RadioPlay 300 works with portable
MP3 players, CD players, DVD players and laptops. The RadioPlay 300 retails
for $59.95.

screen. iPod video is capable of delivering high-quality video and has
enough storage capacity for hundreds of movies. Monster iTV Link features a
dock connector for the iPod and S-video and stereo audio outputs that

the iSlimCharger a breeze. Plus, built-in Monster Smart Digital Charger
technology delivers just the right charge that the iPod needs for fast,

socket so it is always charged up and ready to go. This product features

the iCarCharger is on “trickle” mode, activated when the iPod Shuffle is
