(3 Comments)The iCarPlay Wireless 250 is an epic fail. I am forced to turn the unit on every 3-5 minutes by unplugging it and plugging it back in. I have contacted Best Buy and Monster regarding the issue. Best Buy said it was beyond the 30 days, so they basically washed their hands of the situation. Monster said that there was some auto-sleep circuitry inside the unit that causes the iCarPlay Wireless 250 to shut down because if the song gets quiet or its changing tracks, the Monster unit will think I turned the iPhone off and it will power down. And although the packaging claims iPhone compatible, it really isn't. So I bought the unit for about $100, and I never use it. Epic Fail for Monster...
I am looking into upgrading the head unit in my Audi now, or at least getting one of those units that fools the factory head unit into thinking your iPhone/iPod is actually a CD changer.
