Griffin 9865-TFLEX5G TuneFlex Auto Charger with Flexible Docking Cradle for iPod

• Flexible steel neck that adjusts to any angle, and a cradle that securely grips your iPod Nano
• Plugs into your car's 12-volt cigarette lighter accessory outlet, providing power and charging your iPod
• Low-high audio output switch that ensures clear sound without distortion
• Built-in, 0.125-inch stereo line-out audio jack lets you attach an audio cable directly to your stereo, or run the included cassette adapter into your stereo's tape cassette player
• Compatibility: iPod (1G only)

Works really well, but tends to droop after awhile. Overall I thinks its worth the price.

Easy to install and works great with the cassette adapter. The amp. boost feature and level sound could not work better. The one small problem is the 30 GB ipod does not fit tight and on bumpy roads causes the sound to go in and out.

There are only 2 of these things in the market....well, the time I bought it there were only 2. This one and the Ten Technology one. This product is excellent!!!!! 2 things though 1) The switch from high output to low output is basically useless. 2) The rubber thingie that keeps the cradle from moving gets weak in time. But then again, I would really recommend this product!!! I'm getting another one if something happens to this one!

This thing moves and wobbles and turns and absolutely will not hold my ipod classic. While trying to set it up right it snapped at the base completely ruining it. I suppose you might like it if you have a lighter ipod like the nano but for me this was a giant pain in the ###. I'm glad I only spent 10 bucks on it instead of 30 or 50.

Don't waste your money.

It's a good product for playing my iPod touch in the car (I don't have an AUX jack). The FM transmitters I tried all had a terrible signal; luckily I have a tape deck so I can use the cassette adapter in this package. The one thing I didn't think about before I bought this was that the charge plug and the headphone jack are both on the bottom of the iPod. That means I can either play my iPod in the car, or I can charge it but not both at one time. (When the adapter is plugged in, you physically can't plug it into the cradle.) I can still sit the device in the cradle so I can look at it and control it while it plays music, but it is kind of a bummer, since I could have just purchased a cassette adapter for much cheaper.

It does seem to fit quite snugly in the cigarette lighter...I haven't tried to remove it yet because I read another review on here where the buyer ruined the entire device and his plug trying to pry the thing out. But, I can easily pull it out enough for the power to disconnect so the green light isn't on all the time. Then I just push it back down if I want to charge.

I also haven't experienced the "drooping" some people have described, but I haven't had the item that long. The control arm is plenty long enough for my car, a Dodge Stratus. It's actually the perfect length.

If you have an iPod touch or iPhone and no way to play it in your car, I'd say the cassette adapter is the way to go, but check around for something that might be less expensive, since this can't charge and play simultaneously anyway.
