Kensington Dash Car Mount for iPhone and iPod Review

Kensington Dash Car Mount for iPhone and iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wow, finally we have found something to work to dock the Ipod in the minivan. We had a Belkin dock for a couple years...the one that plugs into the A/C and has the arm that extends out and moves where you want it. We just always had so much trouble with it staying put. We have an Ipod Classic 160GB, and it is the heaviest model, and the dock would always slip because we could never get it to be tight enough in the A/C plug. It was SO FRUSTRATING! This product is great. It is not a power supply and it does not have an FM transmitter. We use a tape deck to play the Ipod through, so that we get the best sound, so we don't need the FM transmitter. And, we have an A/C plug for the Ipod so we just leave it plugged in while we drive so the Ipod doesn't run down the battery. ANYWAY, this Kensington "arm" dock is so great. It turns every which way so that you can mount it anywhere. We have a van that has a console that sticks out so we actually mounted it on the side of the console, so that the Ipod now sits right next to the radio and the cords can all reach. I really recommend this for anyone who does not need the FM transmitter or A/C connector dock. VERY STURDY, VERY EASY TO INSTALL, VERY FLEXIBLE FOR USE, GREAT DESIGN!!
June 2009 update:
We still love this but wanted to update and say that in the summer, the adhesive just doesn't stick so well...so about every time we get in the van we have to re-stick it. It doesn't ever fall when we are in the car, after we re-stick it and we have the AC going...but just when not in use. So at least it is not putting our Ipod in danger of falling. We still love it and would recommend it.

Justpal (the seller I boughty it from) is misleading the buyers and provides the worst customer support I ever encountered. I bought the product to find out that it only supports the iPhone 2G and 3G (not the 3Gs). In addition, it only supports a bare bones iPhone with no case as the holder is fixed and can not be adjusted. So, if you have a protective cover over your iPhone, forget about this product. I contacted Justpal and after going back and forth, they agreed that I will return the product for a full refund. I sent the product back and since then, they disappeared. They do not return emails and after weeks and weeks, did not yet refund me. Don't buy from them!!!

Kensington Car Charger Deluxe for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G Review

Kensington Car Charger Deluxe for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Interesting that Kensington calls the "Deluxe." I don't think it deserves the name.
First, this is a mount and charger. No audio / speaker connections. You plug a separate wire directly into the iPod/iPhone. Not what I was hoping for in a Deluxe model - I want to plug in the iPhone and use the one plug for everything.
The mount: I tried it on a Toyota Highlander - it only works when the 12V connection is on the dash (it is for the Highlander). The arm is only a few inches long so will be limited on where it works. It wouldn't work when the 12V is somewhere below (like a Prius). It does hold the iPhone very well. EXCEPT that the mount rotates too easily on one of the axis. Press a button on the iPhone, rotate the iPhone. Not great for in the car. (I used a hose clamp to lock it down, then it worked OK.)
It does function with the iPhone 3G - meaning it does charge it.
BUT for my setup, it creates a audio feedback loop between the charger and the audio so a huge buzz when it is in the dock and charging. iPhone alone - no buzz, iPhone in dock - buzz. I'm returning this one - if it didn't have a buzz I would have kept it. It could just be the iPhone 3G and/or a weirdness with the Highlander.

Keeping your iPhone or iPod within easy reach--and fully charged--is a breeze, thanks to this deluxe center-console mounted kit. The Kensington Car Charger Deluxe is designed primarily to dock and charge your iPhone or iPod, so you can easily view and access your device in your car while powering and charging it. As a supplemental value, Kensington includes a separate auxiliary cable in the box so you can play music through your car's Auxiliary port. If you're looking specifically for a car audio solution, Kensington offers several products with an integrated auxiliary cable, such as the LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit or the LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit. Each provides a streamlined audio solution, charging capabilities, and a remote (as well as a dock, in the case of LiquidAUX Deluxe).

Portable Power Whether playing your favorite music or chatting with a friend, the Car Charger Deluxe keeps your iPhone or iPod charged, usually without having to remove the case.

Hands-Free Conversations With the speakerphone feature, you can have conversations on your iPhone without taking your hands from the wheel.

Flexibility The cradle of the Car Charger Deluxe rotates, enabling you to position the device for either vertical or horizontal viewing, while its adjustable arms wrap around your iPhone or iPod for secure fit.

Compatiblity Kensington's Car Charger Deluxe is compatible with the iPhone; iPod nano (1st and 2nd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch.

Important Note: Sound Effects When using an auxiliary device in the car, you might hear a slight buzzing sound, engine noise, or high-pitched whine. That is because your car model has a grounding issue between the audio system and the power socket, which causes a whining or buzzing sound when you drive. This sound is not caused by your Kensington product; however, Kensington has an easy solution. Simply purchase an automotive ground loop isolator for your car that is compatible with a 3.5-mm jack. This simple tool will enable you to use your music in a safe, hands-free environment.

This item is NOT made for the iphone, and it tells you that all on it's own. When you plug in your iphone 2G, you get a warning saying that this is not an iphone compatible item and it will cause interference if you get a call while listening to your songs. Actual iphone items are insulated against this.
ALSO, i have not been able to successfully pair my iphone with this thing. it will show like it is paired, but will not actually put the call through if the iphone is docked.
I'm sure this would work if you DO NOT have an iphone and are trying to pair a regular phone and an ipod for the fm transmitter, but you CAN NOT use this as an FM Transmitter AND bluetooth for your iphone. it just is NOT happening.

Belkin TuneDok Cupholder for iPod (White) Review

Belkin TuneDok Cupholder for iPod (White)
Average Reviews:

I bought the Belkin TuneDok last week in preparation for a long road trip with my iPod and my newly purchased iCarPlay from Monster Cable. I was a bit concerned that the TuneDok might not allow the iCarPlay's cable to plug into the bottom of the iPod, but the hole at the bottom of the cradle is big enough. The suction cup at the back of the cradle keeps the iPod from moving around, and the cradle itself is adjustable for different angles depending on the location of your cup holder. All in all a great accessory for iPod fans.

Griffin WindowSeat AUX Windshield/Dashboard Mount for iPhone and Smartphone Review

Griffin WindowSeat AUX Windshield/Dashboard Mount for iPhone and Smartphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wow. this thing is the worst product ever from Griffin. I own the original Windowseat and love it. It is very sturdy and rugged. The only problem with the original version is that it is not compatible with the iPhone 4. On Griffin's website, it says that they have no intention of creating an adaptor for the iPhone 4, so I had to bite the bullet and buy a new version that is compatible. I thought I was buying into the Griffin reputation and the original versions durability. Boy was I wrong. This thing is so flimsy that it wags side to side 2 whole inches if you use the included extension arm. On most cars, if you want to attach it to the windshield, you will need to use the extension arm. The ball socket actually broke on me while I was assembling it. All I have to say is that if you plan to buy it, set it and forget it. Because if you need to move it, it will break eventually. The box it came in is worth more than this joke of a product.
On the other hand, the ball joint is the exact same size as the original WindowSeat, so I have trashed the rest of it and will go back to the original mount and use the new appliance holder... until it breaks.
Come on Griffin!!! Make an adaptor or make something that works. This product is a joke! So I guess the joke is on me.

Griffin WindowSeat Windshield car mount for iPhone 3G with iPod touch 1G Adapter and Auxiliary Audio Cable Review

Griffin WindowSeat Windshield car mount for iPhone 3G with iPod touch 1G Adapter and Auxiliary Audio Cable
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product works exactly as advertised. In fact, based on what I had read in the other reviews I would actually say that it works better than advertised. The suction cup works so well that the only thing I can figure is that the person that had problems with it did not understand how it worked. It is not the standard type of suction cup where you simply press it against the windshield and hope it holds. This suction cup works by placing it against the windshield and then turning the knob counterclockwise in order to pull the center portion away from the windshield. As it does this it creates a vacuum seal that so tight that you are more likely to dislodge the windshield than you are to remove this device from it.
The iPhone fits perfectly into the holder and the aux cable is nice and thin. I actually used the phone in this setup when I wanted to have a conference call and the other person's voice coming out of the car stereo worked great for that purpose.
The only caveat I would list is that if your car has a long sloping windshield you may find the extension not quite long enough to bring the phone within reach. You may be able to compensate for this by mounting it up higher. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and it has a pretty vertical windshield so I don't have this problem.

Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G Review

Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really wanted to like this product. I actually bought both the LiquidAUX kit and the Deluxe kit. One to use in my car and one on my motorcycle with my iPhone.
I think they worked once or twice with some adjustments. I know people don't like one star reviews and usually mark them as 'not helpful'. Often times they are right because people rate them with one star because the weren't shipped fast enough or some complaint not related to the product. Or they got the one unit that happened to be DOA.
Not the case here. Here's the problems:
When the iPhone firmware was updated recently, it caused problems with the remote operating and the message that the product was not iPhone compatible. Okay, I checked the manufacturer's website and found their workaround. The message did indeed go away, but the remotes still didn't work.
I decided to try my iPod to see if the problem could be caused by the iPhone, but the remotes didn't work with it either. Called Kensington tech support and they told me (in IndiaEnglish) to try replacing the batteries in remote. This after providing them with the serial number (written in illegible microscopic print inside the remote).
To their credit, they told me they would send me two new remotes (or complete units. I really don't understand IndiaEnglish very well). I should have them in 10 to 12 business days. I didn't have to return the old ones, just trash them. This makes me think they probably have had a lot of problems with these products.
My next gripes have to do with the different models:
The standard LiquidAUX kit:
They must be poorly assembled since the first time I used it it would cut out intermittently. If I just touched the wires going into the power plug they would crackle and pop and had to be delicately positioned to work. The extension cable (which you need unless your cigarette lighter is right next to your mini plug socket) has the same problem, but not as bad.
The Deluxe LiquidAUX kit:
This unit relies on a tight fit in your lighter socket, or you won't be able to keep the thing upright. The clamps holding your phone are not very sturdy and difficult to unlatch to get your iPxxxx out. After a short time most of the physical connections loosen up and you need to prop the business end of the adapter against something to keep it from falling.
I bought both units in Lightning Deals so the price wasn't as bad as it could be. But I'd rather pay more and have something that actually works properly. If I was within the 30 day window, I would have returned them buth.
I am not happy with this purchase.

Figured for $12 with shipping I'd try it. Holder works great but the product itself is poor. I also have a Griffin that works very well but wanted something with a holder like this. The transmitter seems faulty as I have tried it in several vehicles and it does not transmit the frequencies for voice very well or if at all. It's like it has a built in Kareoki mode which is fine if you like to sing in your car but I like to hear the performing artist. I will wind up tossing this as it is unusable. The seller delivered as promised but for the price I didn't expect much and I got what I expected.

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.

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 :)

2nd Generation Audio FM Transmitter / Internet Music Adapter plus integrated Car Charger for the Motorola DROID with Gomadic TipExchange Review

I purchased this for use in conjunction with the Motorola Droid OEM Window Mount due to the fact that Motorola neglected to include a FM transmitter with it's mount. My first impresions were the packaging looked a bit shoddy, but don't judge a book by it's cover.
Driving, I frequently use internet radio or listen to podcasts while using the navigation GPS built in to my Droid. I was frustrated with barely hearing the built in speakers. The FM transmitter & charger works simultaneously as advertised, despite the other reviewer's comment. I am pleased with the functionality, and simplicity and the transmission sounds clear. The only weak link I can tell is possibly the cord leading to the phone. It seems a bit flimsy. I have not had any problems with it so far so it's probably just cosmetic.
Overall if you own a Droid and want to charge it while streaming Pandora to you're FM car stereo I would highly recommend this product.

I had a previous one very similar and gave it to my son. This one works fine too, with very little to none interference.I enjoy the music with my iphone4 through the car stereo system The remote control is essentially useless as it need to be pointed directly to the top where the digital display is (something you don't want to be doing while driving).

Still waiting to return this incompatible item, they don't do Android. I know it's the holidays but I feel like I am being ignored. One real bright spot, Amazon stepped in and assumed responsibility. Now is that a big thing? Well this paperweight only cost me $30, which is not a large percentage of the money I have spent though Amazon but it sure makes me happy. I presume they will intercede with the seller or maybe just write it off. Anyway, they did what I would expect a quality company to do. Thank you Amazon! To be fair this seems like an unusual occurrence for this company. However, let the buyer be warned, they have the capacity to really screw things up and only Amazon seems to be concerned.
11 Jan 2011 Still waiting.. I just sent this email off trying to get this resolved... I am still waiting to return this product. I have sent several emails and had one telephone conversation. It is my understanding I am to wait for return authorization. This was the wrong product in the first place. It doesn't surprise me that the whole process is a BIG problem. This company doesn't seem to get excited about unhappy customers. I am beyond unhappy!!!! GET A CLUE, YOU SCREWED UP AND DON'T SEEM TO GIVE A (EXPLICATIVE DELETED) IF YOU FIX IT!!!!!
