Kensington Auto Charger for iPod and iPod Mini

Average rating: Stars

No problems, works fine.

I didn't have any problems with this, but returned it because I ended up getting a more comprehensive in-dash solution and didn't need the external charger. Otherwise, though, the charger worked fine and the IEEE1394 (firewire) hookup was a nice addition if you have a newer iPod that only comes with USB.

be careful with this one

I don't know if mine was defective or if I missed something in the packaging, but When I plugged my iPod Mini into this adapter, it fried it.
The screen turned brown, and it would not power up.
I returned it to Amazon for a refund.
According to the packaging, the unit is supposed to contain a safety fuse that would prevent this from happening.
Mine did not contain a fuse, either installed in the plug, or in the package.
If yours does NOT have a fuse, return it.

Charges the Ipod...With tolerable static...Nice roll-up wires

I can say that this item gets its job done - it charges the Ipod while you're in your car...but with a tolerable static sound if you're charging while playing some music. (which I think all car chargers for Ipod has this static present) What I just do is to minimize the volume of the Ipod to around 40-50% and adjust the radio's volume to lessen the static sound. Its roll-up wires are quite nice and strong...considering some said they break easily...probably because they pulled wrongly - only from one side of the roller, when the proper manner is to pull from both sides of the roller, so it will also retract from both sides. I can say I'm satisfied with the charger considering its usefullness and price. Peace!
