With TuneCast Auto Live from Belkin, you can listen to music from your iPhone through your in-vehicle stereo, using your iPhone's GPS system and location-based user feedback to help find the best FM station.

After you download the ClearSCan Live app from iTunes, you can use it to get the best FM scanning technology at the push of a button, and station recommendations from other TuneCast Auto Live users in your area based on your GPS coordinates. You can even add your own ratings based on how well stations work where you are. You'll be able to control your FM transmission and music from the touch screen of your iPhone. ClearScan Live lets you display the current FM frequency and control the transmitter directly from your device. When using an iPod touch, nano or classic, ClearScan technology lets you scan for the best FM frequency without an app.

Of course, ease-of-use is key. Fortunately, TuneCast Auto Live has a high-contrast backlit display so you can see the station clearly, while the tactile buttons make it easy to control. You'll also find two programmable preset buttons and a PRO setting for optimizing audio and boosting volume. And since the dock connector charges your devices while they play, they'll arrive at their final destination fully charged and ready to rock.

      Comments about Belkin TuneCast Auto Live:

      I bought it for my car but my radio doesn't pick it up very well. Poping and crackling is louder than the music. It can never find a frequency that is open. Radio stations continually bleed over especially when driving and you have to constantly check for better frequencies. I do live in a medium sized city so many of the frequencies here are already full. I'm disappointed that this forum doesn't allow me to use less than one star.

        Comments about Belkin TuneCast Auto Live:

        The tunecast auto turned out to be a great choice. It is easy to use, more durable than others I've used, and has a great little feature to boost the signal for better sound performance. The only draw back I've found is that the best frequency in my metro area is 87.7, but the tunecast starts at 88.1.

        The TuneCast is easy to setup and use but it just doesn't seem to be able to pick a clear station to broadcast on.
