A Button Press Away from Great Sound
By pushing a single button, Belkin's ClearScan technology will automatically scan to find the best FM frequency so that you can enjoy the music on your iPod static-free in your car. With an improved FM transmission, the sound is better than before. And the large LED tells you at exactly what frequency the music is being broadcast.

Once you find a clear station, you can set it to one of two presets on the TuneBase. This is especially useful around your local area and areas that you frequent, because you can quickly return to these stations at the touch of a button.

The TuneBase also has a line-out feature that lets you use it with car-stereo inputs or cassette adapters. The built-in PRO setting optimizes the audio and provides a volume boost for the best sound possible.

Built-in Charger and Stand Works with All Docking iPods An integrated auto charger plugs into the cigarette lighter so you needn't worry about running out of power while on a road trip. With a flexible steel-neck mount and a swivel cradle, you can position the iPod for optimal viewing and accessibility. The antenna is integrated into the neck for a clean look. Multiple cradles are included for compatibility with all docking iPods.

The Belkin TuneBase FM with ClearScan is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Enjoy the music on your iPod while on the road.

looked solid, but only lasted 3 days September 3, 2008
Mama Rokr
product stayed together and actually played iPod well for a few days. After that, it worked sporatically and then not at all. I liked the fact that it would at first hold the ipod up straight, allowing a visual while driving, bugt it eventually drooped like a flower. i would not waste my money on this.

FM Modulators are just bad in sound quality August 29, 2008
Jack H. Chung (Castle Rock, Colorado)
Mine broke after only a week of use. I still use it but now only to charge my ipod. The FM channels don't come on the display and no signals are being sent. Great for charger and decoration only. Holds the ipod well, but I don't think it is being marketed as a holder. Very unhappy that I threw away the boxes.

Great car adapter! August 19, 2008
Kimmah (San Angelo, TX United States)
I love my Belkin Tuner!! I've had it for several months now. It's easy to use & if the channel is not clear, it's so easy to just push the button & find a different one. Many adapters make you search number by number before you can get a clear channel. This is well worth the money!!!!!

Very Nice Unit. Very SLOW Vendor! July 28, 2008
CR Stuart (Texas)
This unit worked very well. My daughter had a much older Ipod holder/transmitter which did not have clearchannel and must have had a lower signal strength and this one was a major improvement.

Don't bother to pay the premium for two day shipping. The vendor (not Amazon) uses USPS which guarantees bad tracking info and the slowest possible priority shipping. I was buying for a trip seven days in advance and paid extra for two day shipping. It did NOT make it in time! I ended up paying a lot more for one at BestBuy for the trip. (Now my daughter got an upgrade)

Pros:
-Two preset buttons for best clearchannel finds is nice.
-Presets work just like most radio presets.
-Clearchannel works FAIRLY well.
-Flexible neck and plug are much improved over many others I have seen.
-Plenty of mounting options included for different Ipods.
-Three power settings, but I just go for the max.

Cons:
-Really a con for this sort of device. In a big city, very hard to find a good empty FM band. I drive 37 miles each way to work and MUST switch my band during the commute (Two presets REALLY help)
-Vendor ships slow.
-Two presets not really enough.
-Power still a little low.
-The display takes a while to settle down when I first start it up. Not flashing, just all the segments are lit and it's hard to read which band I am tuned to.

Overall, if you can't hook up direct to your sound system, or you switch cars, this is the best I saw.

A waste of money. July 22, 2008
G. Elswick
I bought this product after my trust old RoadTrip broke (my fault) after about four years of use. The gentleman at the radioshack recommended it, and figuring that he was an expert on the subject, I went ahead and bought it.

The "clearscan" doesn't work worth a crap. In fact, I can't find a clear channel to use it on. It does help a bit to cycle through the "pro" settings.

Also, I travel alot, and find myself constantly trying to find a new station. It got so bad that I have been using it as just a charger, and listening to audiobooks through earbuds.

I'm not pleased with this product at all.
