Monster has just announced the launch of its new iCarPlay 250 wireless FM transmitter. The official announcement was made during the 2008 International CES. This unusually tiny device allows music lovers to transmit their favorite tunes 100% wirelessly via their iPod through just about any FM radio station..

Notably, Monster claims its iCarPlay 250 offers users "an affordable wireless solution for enhancing and expanding their MP3 listening enjoyment".

"Monster has always been the leader in FM transmitters. Monster was the first to design a model that far outperformed the competition in terms of sturdiness and reliability. We were also the first to design a product with a built-in MP3 player charger, and the first with AutoScan capability. And we've raised the bar yet again with iCarPlay 250 - the world's most innovative, high-performance FM transmitter for iPod," Noel Lee, Head Monster representative, informs.

You might also want to know that the Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 lets users enjoy their MP3 music on their car's FM stereos system, while simultaneously charging iPods. This double function allows the use of the device even during long road trips.

Among its technical spec list, the Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 includes some pretty cool stuff, like: 3 programmable station pre-sets for easier tuning, a line level audio to minimize the distortion and maximize the dynamic range. In addition, the device exhibits an easy to read blue LCD display, plus an intuitive 3-button control and a detachable USB cable connection. The ultra low profile power adapter minimizes the dashboard clutter.

"With other wireless transmitters, you need to hunt for an FM channel that's clear enough to tune into. The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 features new Monster AutoScan 3D technology that automatically scans the entire FM spectrum three times to lock onto the clearest FM frequency available. This ensures better signal transmission than other wireless transmitters that scan only once. In addition, the iCarPlay Wireless 250 outputs a line-level audio signal for full-range dynamic sound with minimal distortion for an incredible listening experience that many FM transmitters simply can't match. New advanced digital technologies automatically adjust power output on individual frequencies for maximum signal strength. Featuring a detachable USB cable, the USB port on the cigarette lighter plug can charge other USB 2.0 devices with the appropriate cable such as cell phones, cameras, etc. The iCarPlay Wireless 250 can also be used in the Home or Office powered by any standard USB 2.0 power source. The iCarPlay Wireless 250 is the ultimate iPod car companion," Noel Lee, Head Monster representative, adds.
