Belkin TuneCast Auto Live for ipod lovers

On the surface, Belkin's new TuneCast Auto Live ($80) looks a lot like its prior-generation FM transmitter and car charger TuneCast Auto, but surprise: it offers app integration. A free download of the Belkin ClearScan Live application -- triggered by connecting the plugged-in accessory to an iPhone -- quickly adds on-device clear station finding, audio adjustment, twin presets, and manual tuning capabilities, replicating the buttons of the TuneCast Auto Live transmitter unit. If you're using an iPhone 3G or 3GS, the clear station locator uses GPS to find the best stations near you; otherwise, you can use the ClearScan button to automatically hunt for the stations, then adjust your radio to match its findings. This version of TuneCast Auto has an amber screen, as distinguished from its bright white predecessor.
