Belkin TuneCast Auto with ClearScan

Boasting the ability to work with both the iPod and the yet to be released in Australia iPhone, Belkin's latest FM transmitter continues the use of Cl...

ClearScan technology, all iPods with dock connector supported, PRO sound setting

Can't run on batteries, only supports iPod units

We prefer the design of Belkin's TuneBase model, but the TuneCast Auto is still a worthy option boasting reasonable sound quality and the convenience of ClearScan technology.

Belkin TuneCast Auto with ClearScan

The TuneCast Auto is easy to use and produces clear sound. Just watch you don't run anyone over while scanning for decent frequencies.

Charges itself and iPod simultaneously. Clearscan lets you dodge radio interference. Practically idiot-proof.

No facility for portable use. iPod only. No holding cradle.

Belkin's latest take on iPod radio transmission offers automatic charging and channel scanning, but we're still left pining for features that previous models offered.

No facility for portable use ; iPod only ; No holding cradle

At $99.95, the Tunecast Auto sits in a premium pricing position relative to other in-car FM tuners. It worked well for us in testing, and the ability to forget about batteries and keep your iPod charged for when you step out of the car makes it a good buy
