Cables To Go 35508 4ft iPod Compatible 3 5mm to Dock Connector Audio Cable




The iPod-compatible 3.5-mm-to-Dock-Connector Audio Cable allows you to play music from your iPod through your home or car stereo, computer, or notebook. The dock connector sends line level audio out from your iPod, providing better sound quality then when using the headphone jack. The dock connector also allows you to control the volume of your iPod through your stereo or computer instead of having to adjust the volume on the iPod. The lightweight construction makes it easy to take it anywhere you go.

4 Stars Aux Cable
I bought this hoping that I could use this on the radio as well as my car, but I realized that my radio does not have an auxiliary hole, only a headphone hole. So I only got half of what I wanted. When I play it in the car, I can adjust the volume pretty well. I’m not sure, but I noticed the volume going up when the car is driving fast, but when the car slows down, the volume lowers. I’m not sure if it was my car or the cable. But it has been useful, I rarely used it though. I have had this for about 2 weeks. Also, the deliver was quite quick and came in about 3 days.

1 Star IT DOESNT WORK!!
It doesn’t work on IPOD Touch 2nd generation and they need to update the add to state that, very misleading. I plugged it into my vehicle and the sound still comes from the IPOD speaker. Very very disappointed.

1 Star Not compatible with Ipod touch 2nd Gen
I just received my Ipod Touch 8GB 2nd Gen, and tried this cord with it in my 2008 Tahoe and it does not work. The music continues to play through the Ipod and not my car stereo. I wish I had of known this information before purchase.

3 Stars OK but not great
Works OK but the dock connector is very tight in the iPod, feels like you’re forcing it in and out. And why can’t they make these in black, when a major use is connecting to car audio?

5 Stars Great Product!
This cable works great and the sound from my IPod over the car radio is wonderful. I use it everyday on my drive to and from work.

5 Stars Excellent choice
The IPOD connector was simple to install and works great. Just make sure you have enough room for the adapter and the cords. Since it goes hand in hand with the radio, it is very easy to do it yourself. Great product at a great price.

4 Stars works great
easy installation , not rocket science and works great , would be perfect if you be able to see your podcast/videos/movies from your ipod but up to now works great with the music

5 Stars Sweet Deal!
This arrived before my IPOD did from Apple (ordered 2 day after I ordered my iPod)! Quick shipping and cheap cheap cheap! Was so easy to install…plug and play!

2 Stars Connects the iPod to my car stereo, lacks usability
The reason i bought this product was because i was hoping to make driving safer. It’s good to have the controls for the iPod on the stereo instead of looking for the iPod and then looking for a particular song.

This product just made my driving more dangerous. The menu system on this is slow, it does not remember where you are browsing so everytime you have to start browsing right from the beginning, and this would be single biggest issue with this product. If it just remembered where i am in the menu.

Don’t get this if you think it will make your life easier while driving.

5 Stars Works great
I’ve installed the KSPD100 iPod adapter to the KWADV790 unit. Really easy to install. There’s only one way to connect to the KWADV790. Impossible to mess up. I can control my iPod from the KWADV790 while driving. Best part, it charge the iPod while I’m jamming to my tunes.

4 Stars Grandma luvs her music
This little gadget makes it easy for me - a 67 year old Grandma - to listen to all of my 1500 plus songs, as I tool around in my little red convertible. The 2 favorite channels I use most of the time are always at my fingertips. I think if you are a big guy with large hands, it might be a bit harder to push the correct one. Only suggestion I has would be some kind of remote to attach to the steering wheel. All in all I am very pleased with the unit.

4 Stars Belkin Tunebase FM Xmtr w/ ClearScan for iPod
Works well. Adapter even fits my Malibu accessory outlet that similar iPod FM tuner products would not work with. Signal needs to be stronger for cars with the radio antenna at the rear of the car. Otherwise, a great product.

5 Stars Most Excellent Tunes
We recently bought a car without an Ipod interface so I got this FM transmitter from Amazon.com. It’s fantastic!! The sound is nothing short of astounding.. However, it does better in out of town rather than in the city center. I encountered a lot of interference from radio stations in the city.. I still give it a well deserved 5 stars.

4 Stars Belkin Tunebase
This is what I have been looking for a long time. Its the perfect height for my vehicle, easy to reach.. I didn’t buy it for the FM transmitter though, I bought it for charging the Ipod plus I have an AUX connection on my radio for my Ipod.. Sounds so much better.. The FM transmitter just doesn’t give out good reception, too much static, ruins the music..I’d recommend it for the AUX connection if you have one on your car and the charging of the Ipod.. Good Product…

1 Star Worthless
May work if you’re traveling in the middle of nowhere, doesn’t work anywhere else. Using ClearScan, it kept finding frequencies that were in use and wouldn’t search above 99.9, it wouldn’t search in the 100+ range. Even when I manually found a frequency not in use it wouldn’t work without a lot of static. I’m returning mine and using the money towards an iPod ready car stereo.

4 Stars Almost Perfect
Overall this is a very good product. I was very impressed with it, especially considering how affordable it is. This transmitter looks more expensive than its price would suggest. The digital controls makes tuning very easy. If it wasn’t for a noticeable distortion when listening to certain female vocals I would have given it 5 stars. But overall I am still very pleased with this transmitter. Below are my pros and cons.

Positive:

1. Well made and looks good

2. Charges 4th generation iPOD Nano - a big plus

3. Digital tuning allow easy selection of FM channel

Negative:

1. The signal is weak. It’s easy for stray signals to interfere with this transmitter

2. Transmitted volume is softer than radio stations even with iPOD volume near maximum

3. Noticeable distortion when listening to female vocals

5 Stars Great Little item
Just got this and it was so simple to use. I was concerned because there were no instructions with it. Didn’t need them! Just plug it in, find an unused station and play music.

4 Stars Best charger & transmitter I’ve used so far
This product is great, you just have to make sure its 100% secure and pushed into your iPod, otherwise you will get a buzzing sound.

My only complaint is that i wish it could be powered by the iPod, because it needs to be plugged in at all times, and the cord on it is fairly short, about a foot or less, so handing people the iPod in the backseat is out of the question.

My other transmitter broke, and was very flimsy, This one is VERY solid and is very functional…. and has more channels than I’ve ever seen on a transmitter, I think it goes down to 87.1 or (77.1) I forget, (not going out to my car to check, its 10 degrees out).

I highly recommend this product if you want a cheap sturdy transmitter, if you want a mobile transmitter powered by your iPod, not the car… look elsewhere…

4 out of 5 stars from me.

3 Stars Works well, but has high pitched noise and short cord
I just received this product yesterday and used it for one day. It transmits well but there is a high pitched noise in the background, possible interference. Music sounds great, but if it’s a quiet song you have to listen to this ‘tone’ or sorts. Also, the cord is pretty short, just seems long enough to reach my iphone holder.

5 Stars Works for me!
I got this transmitter a couple weeks ago and really like it! I previously used the iTrip (about $75 or $80). I had static almost all the time and often had to reset stations even in my own hometown. With this transmitter, I plugged it in, found a station, and have had clear audio ever since. I mostly use it to listen to books, so I don’t know about the problem with bass as one writer noted. I have recommended it to several friends. In my opinion, you can’t beat it, even with the more expensive transmitters!

4 Stars Worth the investment
I was looking for something to play my MP3 player through my company owned Prius. I looked at adding a “direct connection” with DICE or other device, but didn’t want the hassle of installation along with the cost. I did a lot of research and the Monster Radioplay 300 fit the bill for me. For <$40 I can listen to my MP3 in any car (not just the Prius) and the sound quality is as good as any FM Station. Many people state it is CD quality and it may be for their system, but on the basic Prius system this was not so. I had a pleasant surprise when I was traveling from St. Louis to Indy. I pulled off the road and turned off my MP3 and the surprise was that there was an actual station on the setting I was using. The Monster actually overpowered it!!! I wouldn’t of even known this had I not stopped. I did have some interference around the Indy area, but I changed frequencies and all was good. For the money , you can’t go wrong. If you are a “diehard” audiophile (like I am at home) this may not be clear enough for you. If you can listen to FM and have no issues with the sound quality in a car, this unit works great!

5 Stars For an FM Transmitter… One of the Best
The key thing that makes this FM transmitter better than a lot of the Zune FM transmitter is that it doesn’t charge your Zune. I’m guessing this allows them to use more power to transmit the FM signal. I’ve seen this FM transmitter completely blow out smaller radio stations, so the lack of 87.7 and 87.9 in this device is completely bearable. I have used this particular device in Minneapolis/St Paul and Milwaukee with success.

5 Stars Best universal FM transmitter for the price
Sound quality and construction is well worth the money. I had the Radioplay 200 and I just upgraded to the newer 300 model. There is no feedback or static even within city limits, and the bright LED digital tuning makes it easy to tune into an open station. And whats great is the clear sound from almost every portable music player out there. If you’re still using a car cassette adapter, then this is a definite must have.

4 Stars Finally a device for something other than an IPod
It’s nice to finally have something that will work with an MP3 player other than an IPod. Product works great!

5 Stars Cheaper than a new radio with a CD player
I am using this item with my Sansa Fuze in a Ford F-150 and it works great. We live in a large metro city and haven’t had any other stations “bleed-in.” Volume on either the MP3 player or the truck radio must be turned up in order to experience optimum sound. Was considering replacing the truck’s radio prior to buying this product, but that’s no longer necessary.
