Belkin’s Tunecast range of FM transmitters have been the market leaders since their introduction in late 2003. Belkin are again raising the bar for their competitors with the introduction of the Tunecast 3, so we’re going to have a detailed look at this new offering and see if it lives up to its predecessors name.

What is it and what does it do?

The Tunecast range is small, mobile FM Radio transmitters, able to broadcast your iPod, CD player, PSP etc... Through any FM radio receiver, such as your car or home stereo system.

What’s New?

Starting with the retail box, it has been nicely improved. Unlike the Tunecast 2, you don’t need to hack at this one with a knife just to get it open, and is far more attractive than the old packaging, which we’re sure will be popular with retailers putting it on their shelves.

When everything is out of the box, we see that Belkin have continued to include a car power adapter as standard rather than trying to flog it off as an accessory, as well as that we now get a holder clip with a sticky pad on the back, so there will now be a semi-permanent way to clip it to your car’s dashboard, rather than having it float around like its older brother. Available in online stores for AU$69.45, it’s a value packed little package, far better than some competitors who include nothing but the transmitter itself.
