The Belkin TuneBase gets a face lift with some welcomed improvements to this FM Transmitter. With ClearScan technology, users won’t have to wait for a stop light to adjust the station for clearer reception, instead the technology automagically finds the clearest station for you.

The button interface has been replaced with an LCD screen displaying the current station. A new Pro mode for improved audio quality and volume boost is integral, and an indicator informs the user when the mode is active.

This is the first model to support iPod Touch and also supports iPod Nano and the latest and classic iPod models. Plug the adapter into a standard 12V car power outlet. As a former owner of one of these devices my only complaint is that the weight of the iPod and the base connected above the goose-necked tubing is top heavy enough to cause the unit to swivel downward sometimes after hitting a pot hole or speed bump. But if you can find a way to anchor it these things are pretty cool and the upgrades are definitely a welcomed improvement.

You can expect to see the new TuneBase in the Americas mid October with a suggested retail price of $90 USD followed by a late fall release for Asia, Australia and Europe.
