Dice i-Audi-r Audi IPod Integration Adapter w/ Auxillary Input Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this Dice Ipod Adapter for my 2003 Audi A4 and I can't believe how easy it was to install. The hardest part was taking out my radio (which is pretty simple if you have the radio removal keys). Installing it was incredibly easy! The sound is amazing with my Ipod Touch and best of all it charges while I am listening to music. It may be a little pricey, but definitely worth it in my opinion!

Universal Twin Car 12v Socket Adapter for Multiple Charging - iPod, iPhone, Cellphones, MP3 Players and more Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried this so I could use my iPhone's FM transmitter/holder and my GPS at the same time powered to the car's socket. I had tried two other products, and in each case, the iPhone and it's holder were too heavy to hold the item securely. But this adapter is incredibly sturdy and works beautifully. I don't know if it will survive in the long term, but since the male plug is not movable at all, it should last as long as it needs to. No problems with powering up the devices, connection is very solid. I work on the road, am in my car constantly, and so this is the perfect companion to make my ride comfortable. The adapter is very compact, so it fits perfectly, and I suspect it would fit most cars with no problem. I recommend this item highly to anyone who needs to simultaneously plug in 2 devices to their car's electrical socket.

Wagan EL2405 100-Watt Smart AC USB Inverter with DC Socket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this device for an 8 day car vacation trip. I specifically wanted to recharge and power my MacBook Pro, which comes with an 85 Watt power supply (my kids used the MBP in the car to watch videos). It was used continuously while we were driving, approximately 22 hours total during the 8 day trip. The device just basically worked, what more can I say? I also used the built in USB port to charge up my cell phone and iPod (only one device at a time).
According to the documentation, this device only outputs 90W sustained. This wasn't an issue for me, as I doubt the MBP was drawing anywhere near the 85W limit of the power supply. Compared to others reviewed at amazon.com, this device does not have a fan, so it operates silently. The last thing I needed was *more* noise in the car.. ;-)
The only negative I had is that the MBP plug was kinda loose in the AC outlet in the device, not sure if that's the fault of the MBP power adapter or this device. It was tight enough, so the plug did not fall out while the car was in motion.
I'm glad I bought this device.

Macally BTCUP Full-Channel FM Transmitter with Built-in Bluetooth for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi,
Summary
Design 5/5
Ease of USe 4/5
IPOD listening 5/5
Listening to Cell Call over Bluetooth Listening in the Car 4/5
Callers Sound Quality when talking over Bluetooth 3/5 (This is bad, rest is a recommendation to buy).
I happened to buy this because MAC magazine had this listed as the 100 best products to have. You might get more detailed information there but mine is completely a subjective and opinionated and personal feedback. Hope this helps read on....
Detailed Review
Design 5/5: Very compact, stays in the cupholder, beautiful execution, unobtrusive and ony 4 buttons so one does not get confused. One large button to recieve cell phone call, which is absolutely the right choice. Black looked great and will merge seamlessely with most car interiors.
Ease of Use 4/5: It probably takes around 4 steps to set this up and running, The worst was the flimsy packaging, It took me more time to get it out of the package than to set up the IPOD and power connection.
The Bluetooth setup took longer, but my cell phone is a PocketPC smartphone from HP IPAQ which is not the most commmon phone out in the market most phones have a relatively easier point and click Blutooth setup so most of you might not face the music as I. I had to first pair the connection take away the encryption, take away the authorization and then use the code it worked after that.
IPOD listening 5/5
This is a fantastic idea and design is wonderful, beautiful execution. The IPod wireless transmission works beautitul, better than my Tape Adaptor which produces scratchy noises and seems to get worse by the month. Most of you should hear the radio clearly, the packaging says full spectrum radio, not sure how this works but when I used the QS button to get a quite station it comes up with four of them 88.1 worked well for me.
Listening to Cell Call over Bluetooth Listening in the Car 4/5
The Bluetooth pairing took a little getting used to but this is no brian surgery so eventually you will be able to get that working, most of you will have a easier way to get it to work than me as I have an IPAQ Cell phone which has too many options. The voice quality of my listening in the car was AWESOME, this sounded almost as good as the BMW car built in Bluetooth. So this is very very good for me taking call hands free in my car. But think of the others who are on the other side of the call, what are they hearing? See my next note ... below..
Sound Quality for the people talking to you on your handsfree 3/5: (Not Good)
Lastly I had my daugther sit in my car and recieve my call from home, She could hear me clearly with radio turned all the way down as well as up, but the problem was on my side I could hear a lot of static, radio intereference as well as voice cutting off, I could understand the voice clearly but it had all this other background noises going on which will be an annoyance. I hope these guys put in additional circuitry to reduce the background static, I love this device.

Harman Kardon DP 1US Drive and Play In-Vehicle Interface and Controller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't know what the person below is talking about --- this unit is meant to be wired directly into your factory or aftermarket head unit via RCA plugs --- NOT FM modulation! That being said, the unit can also be wired via the CD changer port located on the back of most head units, or via FM modulation (wired or wireless). However, the best sound quality comes from either the RCA or CD changer interfaces. FM modulation (wired) will give reasonable sound quality if you live in suburbia or rural areas --- if you're an urban dweller, however, you may be subject to a little or lots of static. So, if you're willing to shell out the money for this unit, then be willing to fork over a bit more to ensure you have the BEST connection interface.
Aside from all that, installation of this is a breeze. Even if you've never installed anything in your car before -- or have no xp with car stereos, you WILL be able to handle this yourself. Of course, be prepared to spend a day investigating the nether regions of your car's dash/console if you want all the cords/wires to be hidden.
Overall, this is the best ipod integration solution on the market if you want to have full functionality. Those other solutions -- like icelink, iCruze, etc. limit how you can browse your songs, albums, artists, etc. Most even force you to make playlists for browsing. The only real alternatives to the Harmon Kardon, in my opinion, are some of the new CD decks w/ ipod adapters that offer nearly full functionality (Alpine, Pioneer make some good ones....though this route will cost you over $200)
One last thing, if you do opt to have this professionally installed, make sure whoever is doing it has some xp with ipod/car integration. Some "pros" at both Circuit City and Best Buy had absolutely no clue that this could use the CD changer port on my Scion tC factory head unit and tried to tell me that my only option was either a new CD deck that was compatible or to use FM modulation --- which really would have decreased the sound quality.

Edge DiskGO FM Transmitter for iPod and Other Players Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)July 2006. After testing the Jwin, Griffen 30BK, Edge DiskGO, and the Kensington Pico, and the MITO, the MITO wins hands down. The JWIN is not plug and play and presented quite a bit of static, the Griffin could not muster the volume, as was the case with the Kensington, and the Edge was just a P.O.S., with no stereo transmission, and a battery door that would not close. My test was specifically for transmission to a Panasonic Boom box, used while on vacation. In both N.J. and N.C., the MITO performed well, with little static, and plenty of volume for those late night jam sessions after the kids and wives were asleep. Go with the MITO, you won't be sorry.

Harman/Kardon Drive + Play In-Car iPod Interface Viewer, Controller, Charger & FM Transmitter (DP1US) & Bonus Wired FM Transmitter Adapter (DPFMT1US) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The HK Drive and Play (D&P) is an excellent product that does what it says. When pruchasing this package you get the D&P as well as the in-line antenna connector. The in-line anntenna connector gives the best possible reception when using an FM transmitter/modulator. The only downside is that you most probably will have to have it installed by a professional. I had my D&P installed in my 2004 Cadillac CTS, which does not have any aux jack.
How it works: Plug your IPod into the IPod connector and the D&P allows you to control your IPod through the D&P interface. It doesn't work exactly as the IPod does, but its pretty close. The sound quality, as my installer told me, is only as good as your best FM station. But it really sounds good. When I turn off the D&P, its amazing how much FM noise and static exists. But when the D&P is on, it blocks out about 98% of that noise, so the music sounds good--definitely acceptable. Prior to this, I used a Sony FM transmitter, and about half of the time or more, the sound was not acceptable at all!
If you have no option of connecting an IPod through an aux jack, AND you have a good spot for the screen and controller, I'd definitly recommend this product. Keep in mind that by time you buy the D&P and have it installed, your wallet will be about $275 lighter. However, I was quoted $700 for a new stereo installed--and on my car, like lots of others, you lose some functionality because certain items are integrated with the stereo. On my car it was temparature, trip odometer, oil life guage, etc.
Finally, my installer also included a female aux in jack on the side of my lower dash so I can also use the D&P with my protable DVD or computer--pretty cool.

Alpine eX-10 - Bluetooth hands-free car kit / iPod interface adapter w/built-in FM modulator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit a few months ago and just found the time to install it in my truck. I had it up and running my iPhone in no time at all. It was real plug and play. As far as the one reviewer using the FM modulator feature, if you have an AUX in jack on your stereo, you can connect directly. That is what I did, and like I said, it sounds great!
I placed mine right on the dash, just a little off center. The wires and control box are buried in my dash. There is a supplied remote control wire with a sensor on it for use with the remote. I spliced into my cigarette lighter and put a 12 volt outlet on it that I picked up at a truck stop, it too is buried in the dash. Very clean looking install.
As far as the bluetooth? I don't use it on the Alpine. I have a Jawbone bluetooth ear piece that works much better than an external mike. Need that noise cancellation feature in my cab.
And the navigation seems to work fine. I just pick an artist and go from there. And it is nice not having to screw around with the iPhone while driving. The little Alpine monitor looks small, but is very readable and easy to navigate.

Three-Way Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this 3 months ago and I plugged my GPS, my FM transmitter, and my Ipods charger in all at the same time. I was sketchy on getting this because everyone said it blew a fuse but that never happened with me. Maybe you just can't have too many things using power. Your lighter outlet is only made for a certain amount of watts. Like an electrical outlet, if you have too many things plugged in, it's going to blow a fuse. So you can't be upset at the product. Cigarette lighters are meant to run small things.
Another plus for me is that it sticks out since the cigarette lighter in my 90 New Yorker is a little pushed back.
UPDATE:
After having it for about a year now it still works fine!

Wagan Twin USB and 12V DC Cup Holder Power Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Wagan Twin USB/DC Cup Holder Adapter is a very good value. Considering that I paid the same price for a single USB car lighter adapter, this is a great value. It's conveniently shaped like a cup-holder, with the added benefits of 2 included DC adapters and 2 USB adapters. So far all 4 adapters work perfectly.
This adapter definitely sits lower in my cupholder than what I was expecting. It looks taller in the product picture, but expect it to be just above flush with your cup-holder. If your car has two different sized cupholders, one larger than the other, this unit is designed to fit in the smaller standard size. For me that is the cupholder further from the control panel and closer to my center arm-rest.
The unit has four LED indicator lights so you can judge how many devices can be charged with it. This "Battery Level Indicator" feature is a nice extra, with "HIGH," "MID," "12V" and "LOW" indicators.
The product package indicates this unit works with standard 12V and 24VDC accessories. Apparently there's a fuse inside the unit in the event you over-use it, though I haven't yet had the fuze go on me.
CONSIDERATIONS
There are a few shortcomings to the product, all of which I would consider minor. First of all, the lighter cable is relatively short. That's ok if you are plugging it into the DC outlet on your control panel. Many newer cars also have DC outlets within the arm-rest console storage area. I found that the cord was just barely long enough to reach down into my car's storage compartment and be plugged in. That means for some vehicles, like larger cars and SUVs, it might be too short. The deeper the storage compartment, the more likely you are to have trouble using that DC outlet to power this adapter.
The two DC adapters are very deep within the unit, almost too deep. For many DC powered car accessories with shorter plugs, it seems like it might be possible to push them in too far and lose electrical contact.
The other minor negative was that the USB adapters are not perfectly parallel. They are separated by metal but the USB pins are embedded in tabs made of some kind of composite material. You have to carefully insert USB cables because if you don't you risk damaging your connector or the adapter.
CONCLUSION
This is a good unit even if it isn't perfect. Considering the price and the fact that the product performs as advertised, I still recommend this over most others I have tried. It's worth it to have a few extra adapter plugs available to charge your accessories and electronics in your car.
Enjoy.

GSI Super Quality In-Car Wireless Hands-Free FM Modulator-Transmitter for MP3/MP4/iPod/CD/DVD Players - SD/Memory Card/Flash Slot/USB Port - LCD Display - Cigarette Lighter Plug - Includes IR Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is useless! The transmission is awful. I had a hard time finding any frequencies that were not full of static. When the signal was clear, the music from my IPod Shuffle sounded tinny and far away and it was mono (not stereo). I had to turn the volume on my car radio way up in order to hear it. Then, after just a couple of uses, the sound went completely haywire - sometimes it would only play the instrumental parts (no vocals) or the songs would be very fast and the vocals would sound like "Munchkin" voices. Then the music would sound scrambled.
The package description claims that you can use the buttons on the device to control your music player. It doesn't work.
Aside from the fact that it doesn't do what it should, the device also has power issues. Just jiggling it a tiny bit (like when you push one of the buttons to change frequencies) interrupted its power connection with my car and it would reset to the default frequency, requiring me to re-scroll to get back to the frequency I was using, all the while repeatedly loosing power. I thought the power issues might be my car's power outlet, but it repeated the same problem in all 3 of the outlets in my car.
I also thought all of this might be due to one bad unit. I had purchased two, one for another vehicle. The second one had the same problems. I am going to return both of them.
This is clearly an inferior product. I guess you really do get what you pay for. As cheap as it is, don't waste your time with it.

SD/MMC/USB/MP3 Wireless In Car FM Transmitter with Remote (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had many FM Wireless Transmitters over the years. This is the least expensive device and has the most features.
Some people reported that they receive it without any instructions. Additionally, I've had fuse problems with two units and have since switched to a different FM Transmitter.
If after reading this review, it helps you to either purchase this product or pass it up, I hope you'll click the YES button at the bottom of this review (this way, the review can be found by buyers trying to choose between FM Wireless Tramsmitters ... Thank you!)
IMPORTANT: Turn the volume level on the wireless FM Transmitter to medium to medium/high! I set mine on 12 (out of 15). This affects the quality of the FM transmission from the FM Wireless Transmitter to your car's stereo. Reviewers who have complained about poor quality of audio or static probably did not do this!
Additionally, if you are connecting your MP3 player (instead of SD memory card, MMC, or USB drive) you MUST turn the volume of the MP3 player up to a medium-high volume level.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The FM Wireless Transmitter is very light weight and fits loosely in the car's power adapter. When compared to other typical power adapter devices (i.e. Mobile Phone Charger), this may give you the impression of low quality.
To turn the device off, unplug it.
It is a one trick pony, that is you can not dynamically switch between SD memory card and MP3 player (or USB device). To switch between devices you will need to unplug, remove an existing device and put in another. The 1/8 inch Jack and cable for MP3 players cuts out SD memory card or USB devices. You must remove the cable to switch. (What do you expect for [...]).
An important product feature of this device is that it allows you to choose the FM frequency you would like to use to transmit to your radio. Additionally, this is the most powerful FM Transmitters that I have ever used. It easily overrides existing radio station if you choose. The signal strength of the transmission relates directly to the `VOLUME' setting (see above).
When you disconnect the FM Wireless Transmitter or shut off your car, the FM Wireless Transmitter's internal memory will store all the device setting including the last song played from a memory device. When you plug in the 1/8 mini plug cable (about 1 foot long with Male to Male plugs on both ends) to connect a MP3 Player, the attached memory cards or USB device will not be accessible. If you are using memory cards or USB drives when initially installing the device, leave the cable unplug.
The wireless remote control to the FM Wireless Transmitter works fine, but you do need to press hard enough so that within the button's switch electrical contact is made. Also, the remote is infra-red and needs to be in the line-of-site to the FM Wireless Transmitter. If the transmitter is hidden by a gearshift, or back of a seat, the remote control will not work.
PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION: The `user manual' is just a small slip of folded paper with multi-language instruction and a few inaccuracies. For example, the documentation referred to the label name/symbol of buttons on the FM Wireless Transmitter, but the physical device had different name/symbols. The product documentation referring to the remote control is accurate, and you can completely configure and control the transmitter via the remote control.
WHAT REALLY SUCKS: For what ever reason, you can blow the internal FUSE. I did replace the fuse on mine two times now in less than 2 weeks. Finally, I just gave up with it, just too lazy to replace the fuse. I think maybe that the volume level may be part of the problem and that the volume level needs to be turned down before turning off your car so that the device will not draw too much power when the car is started.
NOTE: Two spare fuses are included in the product packaging.
EASY FUSE REPLACEMENT: Unscrew the tip of plug by gripping the base of the plug firmly and the small black plastic tip at the very end (very little black plastic on the tip to take a hold of and farther to the end than the metal ring), be careful when doing this or you will drop the FUSE and loose the cap that goes over the FUSE. Once apart, it's a no-brainer to swap out the FUSE.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Buy a Micro SD memory card with an SD adapter (that accepts the micro SD card). I bought mine on Amazon from ChiTek (Amazon Vendor) for [...] and [...] shipping. The Micro SD card was 2 GB from SanDisk. The Micro SD Card slides into the SD adapter so that it is compatible with the FM Wireless Transmitter card slot. I suggest getting the Micro SD memory instead of SD memory because it will be more versatile in the near future (phones, camera's)...etc. Additionally, you if do not have a Micro SD or Mini SD card reader on your computer, you can get one from Amazon. NOTE: I have read from comments on this product that this device will not work with memory larger than 2 GB.
If you are looking for a memory card on Amazon to go with the FM Wireless Transmitter use the keyword `BULK' in your search. For an exact search for the memory product I used copy and paste = "SanDisk 2GB MicroSD/TransFlash Card w/SD Adapter".
