Product Details

Monster Mini-To-Mini iCable For Car, Model AICMINIIP3S

Easily Connect Your iPod® to Your Car Stereo
Many of today’s car audio systems have a convenient 1/8 inch mini-jack input for easy hookup of any iPod or other portable media player through the headphone port. Unlike wireless transmitters and cassette tape adapters, the solid wired mini-jack connection delivers digital music in full fidelity. The Monster® iCable™ Car lets the mini-jack connection perform its best with advanced features that maximize audio performance.

Exclusive Monster® Technologies Maximize iPod Performance
Exclusive features in the iCable Car ensure long-lasting, high-quality sound from any iPod. The iCable Car’s rugged construction easily handles the stress of repeated plugging and unplugging, while its small and lightweight design easily fits in a pocket or glove compartment. High-purity copper conductors and 24k gold contacts enhance signal transfer for greater musical clarity, and DoubleHelix™ construction rejects electrical engine noise and other interference for the best audio performance possible.

Features:

Connect your iPod, iPhone or other portable MP3 player to the 1/8-inch mini-jack input of your car stereo.
Exclusive Xtra Low Noise® construction minimizes low frequency noise and interference.
Dual balanced conductors deliver more natural, balanced digital music reproduction.
3ft. length for easy cable management.
DoubleHelix™ construction with dual tightly twisted conductors reduce electromagnetic and RF interference.

I checked around for the best rated and this was it. My father always swore by Monster Cables, now I do too. The "Dual Balanced High-Purity Copper conductors and 24K gold" makes a huge difference in sound quality. You can not beat this product.

So I've had this cable for about a year in my car, plugged into iphone. It worked pretty well, but it's weak point is where the cable jacket meets the plug casing, at the red rubber part. Eventually due to gravity (the cable hanging down from your aux jack) the cable jacket will pull away, exposing the wires to fraying. It happened on one end, so I just flipped the cable around, and then it happened on the other end. This all happened within one year. Now both ends are frayed, looks bad, and the audio connection is getting wonky. Might as well just buy the cheap generic brand if it's just going to last a year.

The cable works great fresh out of the box; however, don't expect to use it for the long haul. It shorted on me after a year despite careful use.

Comments about Monster Mini-To-Mini iCable For Car:

The product sounded great when we first purchased it 2 months ago, but starting 3 weeks ago the connection has been getting worse and worse! I have to wiggle and bend the cord in order to get decent sound which is frustrating. Hopefully the one year warranty will help with this situation.

The tip on one of the male ends broke off. How the hell does that happen?! Really.....Now I have to conjure up a receipt from my friend from months ago to get a new one? Maybe I can return it to [@] without a receipt...

Comments about Monster Mini-To-Mini iCable For Car:

Like some of the other reviewers the connection on my cable gave out after about a year of use in my car. I splurged and bought the more expensive Monster cable expecting it to be better quality and sadly it was not worth the extra investment. I have since switched to the AUX cable that came with my iDog which actually sounds better than the Monster cable ever did. Definitely not worth the extra money just for a label!

I bought this cord a few years ago and I loved it! I used it in the car everyday and never had any issues with it. Great sound quality and perfect size! I was so glad I bought this! I'm only buying it again because the first one was lost! I can't wait to have this back!

Best Uses

Comments about Monster Mini-To-Mini iCable For Car:

I used this on a daily basis in my vehicle. It lasted maybe a total of 5 months tops. One end of the cord started giving out and you have to wiggle it in a certain position for it to work. It was only [$] at [@] so it's not worth the trouble of looking for my receipt and turning it in for another. I didn't even wan to write this review but I had to let everyone know this product IS NOT living up to its name!
