 Simple, Cheap, Good October 10, 2008
Anyone who uses a car cassette adapter or line-in to play music in their car will appreciate this. It's cheap, charges the iPod (not officially the iPhone, but it DOES work), and gives a clean, powerful line-out signal. Harder to find because of the popularity of radio transmitters (not as good, interference problems). Recommend to those with a simple car and setup.
Great Product, has served me well over the last 4 years!! September 2, 2008

I purchased this product 4 years ago to use with my iPod in my Chevy Silverado. I have used it pretty much on a daily basis since then. Well, as much use as I get out of the device (plug it in, unplug it, plug in, unplug it...) it has finally given out. The dock connector has become loose, and therefore causes my iPod to pause whenever I hit a bump. Luckily, Belkin offers a Lifetime Warranty on their quality products. I just got off their website after requesting a new unit to be sent to me. All I have to do is pay for shipping to return the old unit. Unbelievable!! And to think I almost bought a brand new one!! Anyway, I expect the replacement to last as long or longer than the original. Also, as has been stated in other reviews already, use the included 3.5mm jack (rather than the iPod earphone jack) to route your music directly into the stereo. You will get crystal clear amplified sound, and you will only need one wire to plug into the iPod.

This product works pretty good...........when it's not broken. The wiring came apart on the first one I owned. Belkin has a lifetime warranty so I returned it for another one that now won't stay connected to the cigarette lighter and I see no way of fixing it.
 Doesn't work with iPhone 3G August 3, 2008
This product works great for iPods and the original iPhone. But note that it won't charge the new iPhone 3G. You can play music from the 3G through the Belkin, but it won't charge. This is because, as I understand it, the 3G is the first iPod/iPhone product that will only charge via the USB lines in the Dock Connector. But the Belkin still uses the older Firewire lines for charging.

Product is exactly what I needed now I can keep my IPOD charged and use the Aux input on my car without having to have two cables going to my IPOD. Aux is so so much better than a FM input! In addition to this product you will need a male/male aux input cable $6.99 at Radio Shack. The Aux cable plugs into the cigarette adapter end of the Belkin product and then will need to be run or tied into your Aux input. In my car the Aux input and charger plug are right next to each other so it was very easy! Volume control on the Belkin product allows you to get the right input level to match other radio settings and avoid distortion.
