GSM buzz on Monster cassette tape adapter for iPhone 'foiled' by aluminum

For those iPhone owners out there, have you ever tried running the audio through your car's speakers via Monster's cassette tape adapter? For those of you that haven't, you get that wonderful GSM buzz amplified over your speakers, even though Monster claims that it is compatible with the iPhone. Technically, they're right, it does work with the iPhone, just not very well. However, a simple solution has been found.

I think it's apparent that Gizmodo Editor Brian Lam has watched more than a few episodes of MacGyver. He got the brilliant idea to wrap some aluminum foil around the first few inches of the cord as is comes out of the iPhone, and it magically made things better.

You know, nothing makes your shiny new iPhone look sexier than a bit of aluminum foil wrapped around a cord. Now the real question is whether or not the aliens can still listen in on your phone conversations.
