Cut through the static with ClearScan--your TuneCast will automatically (and quickly) scan the FM spectrum to find a clear frequency at the push of a button. Avoid the frustration of manually finding a clear FM station. When find a couple of favorites, store them with the two programmable preset buttons.

The TuneCast's high-contrast backlit display provides high visibility, and its small size offers flexibility in placement. The device is powered by your car's cigarette lighter/power outlet, and it charges your iPod while you enjoy your music.

The included PRO setting can make your music sound louder and fuller by decreasing the amount of attenuation in the audio signal. Professional FM stations use dynamic compression to make music louder and fuller while limiting distortion. You can use the three PRO settings on your TuneCast Auto to add dynamic compression to your audio, thereby optimizing audio and boosting volume.

The TuneCast Auto is compatible with iPod 4G, 5G, 6G; iPod mini; iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G; iPod touch; and iPhone. What's in the Box

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - More static than white noise
If you live in the rural outlying areas of any city, this product would probably work for you. If you live in a relatively populated city, finding an open clear channel is very daunting. If you happen to find one with a minimal amount of static, it won't last long, it will be overrun with a stronger signal from another broadcasting station. Not to mention, having to hang the cord from the sun visor since it seems to act as an antenna for the unit. I only keep this unit for long drives through the desert on the way to Vegas, otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Weak transmission and might die after a year
I have had constant trouble finding a station that this weak transmitter could even play music. My friend had a different transmitter in his car about 5ft from me and I could catch his on a station that mine wouldn't even break the static on... so unless you live way out in the countryside don't buy this. Also the auto tuner will find the strongest station half the time... cool idea IF it worked.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love it!
Highly recommended! Very very goog price. More than half off compare at Mac store. Works real well with my iPhone. Fast shipping.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Too fragile, unsafe....
I have owned 2 of these cords (lost one last year in a rental car and had to replace), and I was impressed for the first couple of months. The cord did not hold up well at the connection points over time. It kept slipping out of my iPhone, which meant I had to reset the thing over and over during a ride. Forget about finding a permanent station on the tuner to listen to if you are driving along the east coast between DC and NY because of the limited number of consistent, dormant stations along the way. Frequency is mediocre if you are just riding around in one area. The amount charged for this item is a waste of money and buys plenty of frustration.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I Use It Every Day and Have No Problems
Unlike everyone else, I use this in my car every day and have no problem with it. If I go from one suburb to a suburb that is five away, I may have to change fm station but that is the only fussing with it that I have to do. It is very easy to change as the device finds the station for you. My teen supermarket bag guy saw me using it in my car with my iphone and asked me how I liked it and I said I loved both and used them all the time. I also use it with my ipod. I do live in the Greater Cleveland-Akron metropolitan area and so maybe we have a lot of fm stations with good reception. I have no idea about that aspect. I do not travel for work so I have not taken this out on the open road for covering lots of miles in isolated areas. So for someone like me who does daily driving in a suburban area which is part of a major metro area, it has worked perfectly.

Water resistant to 200 meters, this watch is suitable for diving. Bold styling, and the distinctive TAG Heuer Formula One logo give this watch impressive good looks to match its superior performance.

About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
