Belkin TuneCast Auto - Works with iPhone

[sparkyms]

Wow, just got this in the post today and my goodness, its brilliant!

The quality is fantastic, it charges my iPhone, and I don't have to throw it into airplane mode because its GSM sheilded. If you're faffing about what FM Tuner to buy, I'd definately say this one, it's awesome!

Hello sparkyms,

I was wondering if while the Iphone is plugged into the Belkin TuneCast Auto if you can change the volume outputted from the iphone itself? or can you just adjust your car audio? My current FM tranmitter isn't compatable and so it's stuck at a really quiet volume where I have to turn my car audio almost all the way up to get decent volume...

also, does the error message stating it's not compatable pop up when it's connected? Thanks much for your reply.

It auto adjusts the iPhone volume as such that you can just turn the car audio up with very little distortion.

The unit has a couple of modes also that boost the volume if its too quiet.

Are you sure about this ? Just got back from Halfords with mine and i cant seem to override the switch to airplane mode.

So does this work with iPhone or not? I've been looking at them in Halfords and the price seems okay... but I only want to get one if it works well and is hassle free.

I got mine from Play.com,

When it asks if I want to put it into Airplane mode, I just hit no, and I am able to take calls through my bluetooth receiver with no issues and no buzz what-so-ever.

Been lurking for a long time but finally found something to post about...

I bought this same thing today, the fm transmitter came with a mount for the iphone and ipods. Im happy to report that im satisfied with it. I spent about 3 hours testing it out driving around atlanta, playing music, etc. My past experiences with FM transmitters has been really bad but this one is different. Its very expensive but i think it justifies its price. It works well with my iphone as i heard no interference between the phone and my speakers. The only problem i felt was when i got back to my apartment and there was some noise i think from the radio tower next to my apartment.
