KickStartNews reviews TuneCast II
How do you get the music on your portable music player into the car stereo system right now? If you've got a cassette player, there's always the old, reliable cassette adapter which plugs into the headphone jack of the player. It works, fidelity is limited by the head in the dummy cassette body, and of course there is that omnipresent wire dangling off the passenger seat, getting tangled up with the donuts, papers, console gearshift and so on. Then there are the surprisingly large number of car lighter jack adapters which not only power your portable player but also incorporate a small FM radio transmitter which injects the audio stream from your player into an available, tunable channel on the car radio. They're nice contraptions which also take up the lighter jack, making it impossible to charge the cell phone while you're listening to music. The Belkin Tunecast II addresses the best of both worlds by being self-contained (battery powered—wireless therefore) and by not requiring a cassette deck because the Tunecast II is primarily a low powered FM radio transmitter designed to inject a signal into your car FM radio tuner.Read the full review here.
