This is a great product. I was just recently on a long trip and I never liked searching for radio stations. This device alleviated this problem and I could listen to music that I like all the way there and back. I also didn't have to worry about the battery running out or low since this device also charges. I would recommend it to any that has an iPod and a MP3 jack in their car!

Have had this for about 1 month now. It is great, I had read the reviews on here before ordering and proceeded with cautious optimism. So many different types of ipod to stereo have promised and failed to deliver. This one works perfectly, sounds great, and with the tiniest bit of extra noise sounds much louder than any other type of adapter I have used. Probably going to order a second unit for another vehicle so that I don't have to keep swapping between them.

I am a previous user of the Belkin charger/AUX device that had a built in volume control. I used it for my iPod Touch and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately the iPhone 3G was not compatible, though it would play fine it would indicate that the charger was not fit for the device and it would not charge it as well.
THANKFULLY!! I read the reviews for this device and found that this will work for my iPhone 3G. Picked this up at my local department store and everything works as expected. There is an indication that the iPhone is not compatible once you plug it in but just ignore the message and everything works (charging and music). No static, no problems!! A+++

My car has one of those "cigarette lighter" power jacks between the two front seats, and a mini-stereo input jack underneath the JBL stereo to hook up an external MP3 player. This product is ideal with my iPod nano 4G 16GB. I reach down and push the Griffin autopilot button that sits over the power jack to start an iPod song playing or to stop/pause. When the car turns off, the song stops playing automatically so I start in the same place on the same song the next time I start the car. I push the front or back arrows to advance to the next song or go back to the previous one. If I hold down the forward or back arrows, it fast forwards or fast reverses through the song I'm listening to. I never have to worry about my iPod battery, it's always charged.
One audio cable runs to the stereo. The other cable runs to my iPod which stays out-of-sight in the storage console between the front two seats, where I can pull it out conveniently if I need to access a menu for something - which is rare. Most of the time I keep my iPod set to shuffle by song (or occasionally by album), then I select a particular playlist and click play. I may go weeks without actually getting my iPod out to control it with anything other than the Griffin autopilot to start and stop random shuffle of my whole music collection. The cable that connects to the iPod uses the special "blade" ipod connection rather than the mini-stereo jack, which is nice since it means I control volume only with my stereo controls, and the output volume is unaffected by the volume setting on my iPod nano 4G). Cables are just about right with length to spare, but not so much there's any loose cables getting in the way or getting snagged.
I got this at the local Apple Store. I have used this for almost a year now and it's been ideal with no headaches. Exactly what I was looking for all in one unit, and a great value for what you get. It's innovative quality well-designed products like this that make me a big fan of Griffin.

I bought this for my original iPhone. It plays quality audio out of the port on the 12v plug with NO GSM buzz from the Edge service. It also pauses the iPod function when the ignition turns off. My iPhone stays charged even while using the iPod and Google Maps at the same time.
If you want to use it like a hands free car phone, you must plug the included 3.5mm cable (OG iPhone friendly, no adapter needed) into the iPhones headphone jack, and not the 12v plug.
It does display the stupid compatibility airplane mode message every time you connect an iPhone, but you can ignore it and "slide to unlock" and the message disappears. Not a big deal.
I have been using this for a month or so, and it has been great. I did tons of research and read lots of reviews to find an affordable, iPhone friendly charger with an audio out from the dock connector.
