Wearing headphones or earbuds while driving is illegal in my state. With a three hour commute each day, I really wanted a safe way to listen to my iPod. The iCarPlay has worked very well for me. Luckily, one of the pre-set stations works great and the quality of my music is the same as listening to an FM station. Yes, there are times when static can be heard over the music, but overall, I'v been pleased with the performance of the iCarPlay and appreciate that it keeps my iPod charged as I drive.
