Belkin Auto Kit for iPod with Dock Connector (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am so torn on how to rate this, but I want to say first that I have read a number of reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere complaining about the "static" that this device allegedly produces. Anytime you mix power and sound, you get problems with grounding. There is a device called a "ground loop isolator" (GLI) that will eliminate the buzz. The buzzing is NOT a result of this being a crappy product, it is a result of poorly setup audio inputs in cars (either 3rd party or OEM). If you are not using a GLI, expect to have annoying buzzing when using a device like this, but don't blame it on the device itself.
I am on my second one of these, contemplating buying a third (and no, not because I like to stockpile them and/or waste money). My first one started to come apart between the wire and the part that plugs into the iPod. It may have partially been my fault, as people tend to tug the wire sometimes and it might have pulled loose, but I like to think that this thing should have been able to handle a little bit of that.
So I replaced that first one once it fell apart completely (mostly aggravated at that point by me trying to fix it), and the one I have now always cuts out the left channel. I have to unplug and replug the 1/8" connector over and over again to make good contact. It is highly annoying, and I am ready to replace it again. I think that the first one really might have been a problem of not enough TLC on my end, and the second one could very well be the one bad one out of a batch of many, but I really hesitate to buy a third at this point.
But the reason I am even considering it after all the trouble I have had is that when these things work, they work really well. It charges and plays the music all through one wire, using the audio output of the iPod (so the iPod volume doesn't come into play). It automatically pauses when I turn off my car (might be different from car to car depending on how the power to the 12v outlet is switched in your car) which is very convenient. I wish that it could somehow magically unpause when I started the car back up, but that is technically not very feasible. The bottom line is that when this works, this is an incredible product (that I have yet to find a good competitor for from another company).
Hopefully when and if I buy another one of these, I get a good one.

Belkin Mobile Power Cord for iPod with Dock Connector (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an extremely useful product for people who want to listen to their iPods in their car.
It beats having an FM transmitter if you connect a cassette adapter to the charger's audio jack, because then
1) Only 1 cable connects your iPod to the charger, and you get both power for the iPod and audio from the car speakers.
2) The iPod automatically goes into pause when your car (and its speakers) is turned off... something the FM transmitter cannot possibly do. This is perhaps the most underrated and undermentioned feature of the iPod and this charger. You no longer have to fiddle around with the iPod to stop it when you park your car.

Accessory Power Advanced Car Mount System FM Transmitter and Charger for Microsoft Zune and Zune HD MP3 Players Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an avid Zune user, and I have to say that I'm envious over the breath of accessories that is offered by companies supporting the iPod family of products.
This product, when I read the description, was exactly what I was looking for, FM transmitter, holds my player, done! So, when I got the dock and opened the package, I was very disappointed to so that this wasn't a Zune specific product. It just comes with a shorter Zune USB connection. I guess this is good news if you want to use, say a Samsung player....but I don't.
1) The facts, the arm is too long to support the weight of a Zune120. I just flops over like you shot and killed the thing.
2) The FM transmitter, is ok...but it still is the worst possible connection you can use with a digital device. I was traveling, and had to constantly play with the radio settings. Hint, not something that should be done at 65 miles and hour.
3) Very disappointed that the Zune connection wasn't built into the base of the holder. Instead you have to hook-up the USN connection to keep charged (only way screen will stay lit) and you have to connect a ear phone plug to the player that goes to the FM transmitter. Wires everywhere!
The bottom line, I got this unit to give me a clean solution for my beloved Zune120. What I got was a pole of wires banging all over my dash.
I would love to say that this is the Zune accessory to own, but it is clearly not. Can someone please get Belkin and Griffen back in the Zune accessory business! I'm going to hope, and pray, that the ZuneHD bring some of the manufactures back.

Belkin Auto Charger for iPod (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I got this adapter, I was just using a cassette adapter and an FM transmitter in the car. In both cases the iPod was struggling to provide enough power output to provide clean undistorted sound, and still having to crank the volume control up all the way on both the car stereo and the iPod.
This product solves that problem, and charges your iPod to boot. It uses the new line out capabilities through the docking connector. You then plug your adapter into a mini-plug jack located on the power adapter. Adjust the aplifier volume on the adapter as well. The built in amplifier provides enough power now so I don't have to crank the volume on the car stereo, making the sound to be fuller, richer, more accurate and eliminating all the hiss & noise caused by having to turn up the car stereo all the way.
The only things that might need to consider is the mini-plug output for the amplifier and volume controls are on the side of the cigarette plug. While this wasn't a problem for me, people with resessed power plugs in their cars might have difficulty with it if your cassette adapter/fm transmitter doesn't have a angled plug (I have a MB that has a power adapter in a recessed ashtray and it's challenging to use that plug because of space requirements, but does work after some adjustment). Belkin should have put these on opposite sides of the device, but should only be a minor inconvience. I don't envision anyone having to adjust the output volume very often, after you set it for the first time.
I highly reccomend this product to anyone wanting to listen to their iPod in the car.

Monster iCarCharger 1000 for iPod and iPhone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Monster iCarCharger 1000 from the Apple Store a few weeks ago and experienced the same distortion problem mentioned by other reviewers. I was all set to write a blistering review.
But first I experimented a bit, and noticed that the signal from my iPhone 3GS was too "hot" (distorted) when set in iPod mode, but worked OK with Internet apps like Pandora or NPR. I then made two changes in my "iPod" settings on the iPhone: I turned Sound Check "ON" and set EQ to "FLAT". With these changes, the sound quality in iPod mode is acceptable, with slight distortion only on the few of my songs with very high output levels. (Output levels are adjustable in iTunes, for those so inclined.)
I'm generally enjoying the unit now. The cord management system is good, and I think the best feature is the "tactile" playback controls that eliminate the need to wrestle with the iPhone touch screen while driving.
Still, it's disappointing that QC at Monster apparently didn't detect the distorition issue and perfect this product before release. There is no guidance in the operating manual; hopefully they'll put some info on their website.
Three Stars.

Griffin AutoPilot for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I emailed Griffin asking if they had something like this for the iphone 3g and they told me they had tested it and it worked perfectly. I ordered it and they were right! It works great. The only issue is it complains that its not iphone compatible but it charges the unit and plays the music thru the audio out perfectly. I also am not detecting any serious cell phone signal issues.
So if you want a fairly compact charger and audio out solution (you must have some sort of audio in on your car stereo, even a cassette adapter will work) then this is perfect. I also use the buttons to pause and change tracks which I thought for sure I would not. Turns out its a lot easier to press the buttons on the charger than on my iphone.

The perfect way to charge and control your new iPod touch (or just about any other iPod). Griffin's AutoPilot technology creates the tactile feedback of a button press as you control volume, and track scan forward/backward with one fingertip. A three-color light ring indicates charge status, while a built-in line-out port, volume control and included auxiliary audio cable connect your iPod to your car stereo's AUX-In audio port.

Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod & iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, I don't know exactly why the passPORT won't work for the 1-star reviewer, BUT IT WORKED FOR ME! I got a Panasonic CQ-C7303U radio 2 years ago and then the iPod adapter for it over 1 year ago. At that time, I had the 5th gen iPod video, then after that crapped out on me, I got the 3rd gen. nano (8GB). Then I upgraded to the 4th gen. nano almost as soon as it came out, so I could have double the memory (16GB).

Well, once I got the 4th gen. nano and plugged it into my radio, everything worked (it played/controlled through the radio), but I would get this message at the bottom of the nano's screen saying: "Charging is not supported for this accessory". (Or something like that.) And indeed the nano lost battery power much faster than it would listening to music through the headphones. (It makes since that more juice would be sucked up listening to music through the docking port.) Since I mostly listen to my nano in my truck (Panasonic radio), I depended on the radio to keep it charged up instead of having to plug it into my computer whenever the battery gets low. After doing some reasearch on why this was, I found out that for all the newest ipods (4th gen. nano, 2nd gen. Touch & iPhone 3G) Apple changed the way they charge that only allows 5 volt sources (USB, Apple AC adapters, etc.) and no 12 volt sources (firewire and most 3rd party accessories).
To make a long story short (too late!), I found a link to the passPORT, ordered one and plugged it in. I plugged in my nano on top of it and the message at the bottom of it now just reads: "Accessory is plugged in". (Or something like that) After looking real close, the charge icons appear in the battery symbol (showing charging or charged) and when I unplug it, the battery is fully charged or charged fuller than it was before. It kinda sucks to have to pay $30 to get back a feature that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place, but I guess that's the price of progress?
Well...OK, despite the title, I guess I did have more to say than IT WORKS!**UPDATE**: Just bought a 64GB Ipod Touch (3rd Gen.) and the passPORT works just fine with it too!

Accessory Power FlexSmart Car Mount System for MOTOROLA DROID SmartPhones - Cutting Edge FM Transmitter and Charger with DC Surge Protection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This dock is listed as a Droid dock, but as you probably already know (but just in case you don't), it's a generic smartphone dock, the identical dock is also listed under probably every name brand smartphone there is. Not that that's a bad thing, just want to be clear on what to expect.
The construction feels pretty solid, sure it's plastic but that gooseneck thing is nice and sturdy. The one-size-fits-all mechanism is compatible with the Droid, doesn't block any connections or buttons, though the end that says "audio cable" is at the other end from where the Droid's audio jack should go -- fortunately, the plug reaches, so it's no problem. To get it solidly mounted, it takes a pretty hard squeeze - there's a click right before it's solidly in there which will keep the Droid in if it's balanced, but it would fall out easily, so *squeeze* until you get the next click. I find using both hands helps.
The plug fits in the car lighter socket fairly solidly - but it seems a good idea to make sure that the gooseneck is bent and the adjustable arm tightened down so that the phone is balanced over the arm -- especially if you tend to pull a little g-force in turns :). I have only had it in portrait orientation so far, but it seems like it'll be no problem to use either way. EDIT: meh. It doesn't seem to be all that flexible, however, I have it "sort of" landscape. Will take pics & and post here.
You'll probably want the screen not to go to sleep - it's awkward to fumble for the button then unlock the phone, especially since the gripper arms kind of get in the way of doing that full, across-the-screen swipe to unlock -- and it kind of defeats the purpose of making the phone safer and easier to use in the car if you're fumbling. Also, while the lighter-plug mount supports the weight of a phone pretty well, it does move around quite a bit when you apply any sort of hand-force. Tapping the screen is fine, but trying to press the wake-up button, it's not meant to hold it steady for that. I use the Locale app to tell my phone if it's plugged in to keep the screen on (unless I'm at home) so I don't have to change the display timeout every time I get in the car.
Slightly bad thing: when talking on the phone, it comes over the speakers nicely, but the phone can't be in speaker mode, so the person on the other end is hearing you like you're talking with the phone several feet from your face. Luckily the Droid has that awesome call clarity :) You can definitely hear a little static while on calls, but it's not terrible, and the fact you're listening to phone calls over your car stereo makes up for it.
The first time I tried listening to music, I could hardly hear static at all, the second time, I heard a little more - I've never experienced a portable audio device fm-transmitter without a little static. At medium volume it becomes almost unnoticeable, however I'm sure audiophiles would find it very annoying. But audiophiles probably don't use portable audio device fm-transmitters in cars anyway, so no worries. (I have tried it tuned to 88.1, then, tried 100.1, which was less static-y, so, do play with the frequencies, your area will no doubt be different.)
I'll update this review if my experience with this device changes as I use it under different conditions, but as it is I'm happy with my purchase, thrilled to have my whole music collection with me in the car, happy to be able to use the GPS without balancing the phone in the console, and keeping the Droid charged up is never a bad idea :)

Archos Car Mount 501426 With FM Transmitter (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product for both the charger and the suction cup mount. I think the mount is nice and works very well from what I've seen over the past few weeks. I'm not sure how other cars looks with a large item on the window but I didn't like that in my Sebring. So what I did was use a Dremel to cut a 2x2 piece of plastic that the cup with stick to, then I used some velcro strips to attach that to a bare part of my dashboard. Now I feel that the unit is mounted in a useable way without the player being a distraction to the driver.
The charger/FM cable is alright. It does server it's purpose as a charger and it enables the builtin FM transmitter options on the Archos 5 IT. However if you don't have the adapter plugged into your car and only attached to the device, it still supports the FM option. I'm not convinced that this cable truly houses any of the items needed to broadcast over FM, but rather a marked up accessory to enable the feature. Compared to the other products it's nice to only need 1 item plugged in. The other charger/transmitters require the USB or dock port be connected to charge, and then the 3.5mm audio jack for the FM. So from that perspective it's nice. I think I may ditch the charger for a microUSB charger and just get a better stereo to support Bluetooth and/or a 3.5mm audio jack or USB since they're sub $200 now. I hope some of you find this useful in making your decision. For me, the audio quality of FM is garbage and I'm willing to pay for better.

GSI Super Quality Wireless Hands-Free 5-in-1 Dock-Mount-Charger-FM Transmitter-Car Kit, with Goose-neck Mount for Blackberry Mobile Phones - Curve, Pearl, Bold - Audio Cable, LCD Display - Cigarette Lighter Plug-In Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the product to use with my Blackberry Curve 8350i phone. I wanted to utilize the hands free feature so that when I am using my GPS I can observe the map feature without holding my phone in one hand and driving with the other. I was also interested in utilizing the radio feature on this product.
Upon receiving the product I discovered that the phone jack was a 3.5mm type. My phone has a 2.5mm jack. I then had to order an adapter. Once I got it I discovered another problem with the unit. The phone jack doesn't quite match up inside the phone. If I inserted it all the way into my phone the signal to my car radio was only a buzzing sound. I had to gently maneuver the phone jack in and out to find the right position to transmit my audio from phone to car radio. Then in the process of making this adjustment it would cause my Blackberry to lock up. I would have to remove my phone battery and reinsert it to get my phone to reboot.
I resigned myself to the fact that I could not use this product to listen to my phone through my car radio. I was still interested in using it as a phone cradle and its cigarette lighter phone charging feature. Last weekend I took a trip in my Ford Explorer hoping to try out my new phone cradle. I got my second disappointment. Once on the road the road vibrations cause the cradle to spin from and upright position to an upside down position dumping my Blackberry out of the cradle. I guess in order to make this work properly I'll need to zip tie it to the dashboard to make it stay in an upright position.
The charging feature of the product works fine.
I am not sure I would recommend this product for those who have a Blackberry Curve 8350i phone and a Ford Explorer. As for me it was a waste of money.

Black Apple Ipod 5-in-1 Car Charger + Fm Transmitter / Holder Full Range Freq... Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me say that this item works mostly as advertised. It hooks up fine with my ipod 5th generation and plays over the FM radio without much static as long as I choose an unused station. It also remains in place fairly well in the lighter socket.
My big problems with this product are:
1) Each time you turn off the car and turn it back on, you have to reset the transmitting frequency (station) on the unit. It resets to 88.1 every time power is removed.
2) Each time you turn off the car you have to also turn off (or pause) the ipod or else the ipod will keep playing. Likewise, each time you turn on the car, you have to press play on the ipod to start playing.
In my other car I have an old product (no longer available) that has neither of these problems. I don't need to touch it when turning off or on the car and it continues right where it left off.

GSI Super Quality Wireless Hands-Free Dock-Mount-Charger-FM Transmitter/Modulator-Car Kit, for Apple iPod, iPhone, Blackberry Phones, Smartphones - Audio Cable, LCD Display - Cigarette Lighter Plug-In and PLL Lock-In Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)what you see is what you get. The product has a universal AUX cable coming out from the bottem of the dock which can be used in any cellphone with a headphone jack. The USB port on the right side facing you is for charging your device. It comes with both Micro and Mini USB cables but you can use whatever cable you have in your possession. Depending on were your cigarette lighter is located in your car you can't really have this device point straight up. If you take a turn and the dock is vertical it will tip left or right, however this is if your lighter is on your dash instead of your console. Audio is alright depending on if you find that sweet spot in the FM dial. It's big enough for the Epic 4g however EVO owners shouldn't gamble on this. For all other phone owners this is a nice Car dock in a iphone run market. If you want anything close to this it will be in peaces instead of one unit.
PROS: All in one design, universal, stylish
Cons: Will tip if vertical depending on location of lighter plugin. FM tuners need a sit down session to find the right station to sync.
I rate it 5 stars because it's the best a non iphone user can get depending on the phone and the accessory support from the main company and other companies. The tip is a problem, but I can't blame the product when it's just were the lighter is in my car. My friend has the same model, but he owns a VW were the lighter is were the emergency brake is so he have it vertical with no problems.
UPDATE***
Well mine just broke. I have theory as to why, but I wont list them because while mine broke my friend's is still working. I'll strongly recommend you to logically look at were your cigarette port is located because this thing is very top heavy.
