Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great product for my scenario
My Honda Accord has a cigarette power adaptor in the armrest.
I added an auxiliary audio plug to the stereo, and the end of the plug terminates inside my armrest.
The audio plug connects to this Belkin device, which plugs into the power adaptor, and it allows me to run one cable to my ipod, which sits in the cupholders. For me, this item is essential.

I will say, however, that this is the 2nd one of these I've purchased because the plug on my first one broke down with use. It probably lasted 1.5 or 2 years. I would have hoped for a little better lifespan than that. Hoping the 2nd one provides it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Incompatible with Ipod Touch Rev 2 (and more)
First negative review of a product at Amazon, and it's got 3 strikes.

1) Product listed as compatible with iPod touch, but my rev.2 (32gb) complains about the accessory is not permitted to charge my iPod.

2) The line-out clearly has some noise in it (although it would likely have less if I turned down the amp). It's not so bad in my car that I'm "listening to my spark plugs", but it's clearly there. It's also a very low frequency, which bothers me more than radio hiss would.

3) It's not well behaved - if you unplug the iPod it still sucks juice, so I can't just leave it plugged in somewhere (well, maybe I could, but I'm not willing to test how much it pulls vs how strong my battery is) and just use it to plug in the iPod when it's in the car with me.

Overall, a frustrating buy. If I can find a 32gb old ipod that I can just have be the "car ipod", I may pick it up cheap, but otherwise this product will likely gather dust in the glove box for a bit.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not compatible with 4th gen nano
It seems like a great idea for a charger but it is not compatible with my 4th generation iPod nano.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good product
We have an older ipod that has a motherboard issue, so the headphone jack no longer works. This is the only power adaptor that I could find that also had an audio out on it. It allows me to charge the ipod and connect the ipod to the aux input on the car stereo. We have other ipods as well, but this product has allowed me to leave that ipod in the car so we have it at all times. The only negative is the built in amplifier. You have to get it just right to avoid getting a feedback type of hum throung the car stereo.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple, Cheap, Good
Anyone who uses a car cassette adapter or line-in to play music in their car will appreciate this. It's cheap, charges the iPod (not officially the iPhone, but it DOES work), and gives a clean, powerful line-out signal. Harder to find because of the popularity of radio transmitters (not as good, interference problems). Recommend to those with a simple car and setup.

Water resistant to 200 meters, this watch is suitable for diving. Bold styling, and the distinctive TAG Heuer Formula One logo give this watch impressive good looks to match its superior performance.

About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
