A Button Press Away from Great Sound
By pushing a single button, Belkin’s ClearScan technology will automatically scan to find the best FM frequency so that you can enjoy the music on your iPod static-free in your car. With an improved FM transmission, the sound is better than before. And the large LED tells you at exactly what frequency the music is being broadcast.
Once you find a clear station, you can set it to one of two presets on the TuneBase. This is especially useful around your local area and areas that you frequent, because you can quickly return to these stations at the touch of a button.
The TuneBase also has a line-out feature that lets you use it with car-stereo inputs or cassette adapters. The built-in PRO setting optimizes the audio and provides a volume boost for the best sound possible.
Built-in Charger and Stand Works with All Docking iPods An integrated auto charger plugs into the cigarette lighter so you needn’t worry about running out of power while on a road trip. With a flexible steel-neck mount and a swivel cradle, you can position the iPod for optimal viewing and accessibility. The antenna is integrated into the neck for a clean look. Multiple cradles are included for compatibility with all docking iPods.
The Belkin TuneBase FM with ClearScan is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Customer Reviews
clearscan feature not so great by C. carpenter
i found this item to work for me. i live in a rural area & it works great. i drove to pittsburg, pa last week and had to keep changing the channel manually…the clearscan feature isn’t all that great. however the Pro setting actually does make a difference in the sound quality. i drive a dodge intrepid and had no problems with my lighter (some people reported having damaged there lighters while using this device). overall i am very satisfied with this purchase and the price was very reasonable. i like the fact that my ipod continues to charge while my vehicle is turned on.
Excellent Choice for pre-2007 Car Audio by J. Gordon
Most pre-2007 OEM car audio systems were not equipped for external MP3 players. This handy device works very well, with clear digital sound (when a suitable FM frequency is found, 88.1 works well for me). The sound is very clear, with no static or engine noise that I could detect. It’s also nice since this unit can be easily moved from car to car with a simple plug-in into the cigarette lighter. I highly recommend this unit for iPod users who want a fast and simple way to listen to their players with no tinkering with their car audio system. It’s simple to operate, only took about 5 minutes to figure it out with the provided instructions.
Good product to make your drive a little more enjoyable. by Theodore A. Denning
The TuneBase is a great fm transmitter. I use it daily and have gotten to the point where I don’t like to drive without it in my car. Finding a clear channel can sometimes be a little difficult, but the channels in the low end of the fm range seem to be the best for clarity and signal strength.
Belkin Tunebase ClearScan by Manuela
I am very disappointed with the performance of the Belkin ClearScan. I have an old model made from a different brand that is superior to this new model from Belkin. I live in Chicago and the clear scan always chooses stations with horrible static. I have to always manually find the best tuning station and even selecting the frequency that works best still doesn’t seem to be totally free of static around the city. The new Belkin is a prettier design and it does seem to perform better away from town, but after my experience I am going back to my good old faithful which is terrific in/out of the city.
