Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the Monster iCarCharger 1000 from the Apple Store a few weeks ago and experienced the same distortion problem mentioned by other reviewers. I was all set to write a blistering review.
But first I experimented a bit, and noticed that the signal from my iPhone 3GS was too "hot" (distorted) when set in iPod mode, but worked OK with Internet apps like Pandora or NPR. I then made two changes in my "iPod" settings on the iPhone: I turned Sound Check "ON" and set EQ to "FLAT". With these changes, the sound quality in iPod mode is acceptable, with slight distortion only on the few of my songs with very high output levels. (Output levels are adjustable in iTunes, for those so inclined.)
I'm generally enjoying the unit now. The cord management system is good, and I think the best feature is the "tactile" playback controls that eliminate the need to wrestle with the iPhone touch screen while driving.
Still, it's disappointing that QC at Monster apparently didn't detect the distorition issue and perfect this product before release. There is no guidance in the operating manual; hopefully they'll put some info on their website.
Three Stars.

The iCarCharger AUX 1000 not only charges your iPod or iPhone, it also delivers excellent sound with a high performance audio cable and advanced noise reduction. The built-in cable manager virtually eliminates tangled cords.
