Playlist control

Create and edit your own playlist online at the website or by using a special application.

Individual settings
 

Depending on the speed (generation) of mobile internet in your area, you can individually adjust the playback options for comfortable listening

How it works?
 

Based on your playlist in PLS format (playlist is created with Winamp or website)  an USB drive is created in the modem and it generated files to MP3 format. Any device that can play MP3 music files, sees the modem as an USB flash drive and reads files from it while the flow is loading the selected Internet radio station.

What do you need?

For listening 4G ZTE 823D modem is required (optional MF823, MF825, MF 831, 830FT with Linux version 3.0.21+) with a package of the mobile Internet. The size of the Internet package choose independently. Your choice should be  based on the number of minutes per month, that you will be spending for listening to iCarRadio. It is simple to calculate: 1 minute of listening is about 1 mb (at a flow of 128 kb / s).​

Advantages

You can use the modem for its intended purpose without any restriction. Without listening to the radio Internet traffic is not consumed.

Modem is available at provider's stores, as well as in any online-store.

Mobile operators offer a modem with unlimited internet card for a month for about $10, while online-stores -  for about $16.

How to use iCarRadio profitably

Usually, if we buy the modem for summer cottage (dacha), it is only used on the weekends, and the Ineternet package is not consumed completely. Take it with you during the week and listen to iCarRadio in your car.

Also, if Internet package on the phone is periodically remains unencumbered, it can be shared with the modem. All the mobile operators in Russia provide this option.
