The new Belkin TuneCast Auto LIVE FM transmitter is now available for purchase here in North America for a price of $79.99. What makes the TuneCast Auto LIVE different from other FM transmitters out there is the ClearScan LIVE iPhone application which is available as a free download via the iTunes Store.

The ClearScan LIVE iPhone application uses the iPhone’s GPS system and location-based user feedback to determine the best FM station to transmit over. Simply press a single button and the application will scan for the clearest frequency and best audio quality. The application also allows you to control the FM transmission and music directly on the iPhone.

Other features include:

• Compatibility with iPod touch, nano, and classic
• High contrast LCD display for easy viewing
• Two programmable preset buttons
• Charges through car’s 12 volt lighter outlet
