- TuneBase FM with ClearScan represents Belkin’s continued focus on innovation and product design.
- By building on an already award-winning platform, the TuneBase FM, we’ve introduced features, such as ClearScan, that simplify setup and increases performance.
- TuneBase FM enables you to be safely mobile while enjoying your iPod.
- Our ClearScan technology automatically searches for the best FM station as you drive from one area to another, so you no longer have to endlessly hunt for an open station—which is especially challenging when driving.
Jeremy Horwitz, Editor-in-Chief for iLounge:
- We were extremely impressed with TuneBase FM with ClearScan.
- For the same price as other companies sell car accessories with fewer features, Belkin delivers an all-in-one, well-made car charger, mount, and FM transmitter, intelligently designed with a very nice screen and line-out capabilities. Though its mount is on the short side, it’s otherwise great.
