Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Works like a champ Written By Jack, Gaithersburg, MD on Tuesday, January 10, 2006 I bought this to replace my old belkin ipod car charger that broke. This item is built solid just like most of Monster's product. I hooked it up to my Scosche Wired FM Modulator and it works great. The only things I didn't like about this is that there wasn't a volume adjustment (like on the belkin) so I ended up having to tweak the settings on the modulator to get it right. Another thing was that the buttons are kinda stiff and require alot of pressure for the interface to release the ipod.Overall, I was happy with the charger and definately recommend it. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Not Very Good Written By Andrew, TX on Monday, December 26, 2005 I purchased this charger because it had an audio output. I planned on plugging the scosche fm modulator into the audio output so I only have to plug one thing into my ipod when getting into my vehicle. However this charger will not work with the profit mimount. It will not fit through the bottom opening of the mimount. Also It is very difficult to remove once inserted. You have to squeeze very hard on the release buttons in order to get the connector released from the ipod. I would not recommend this charger. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome! Written By Dave, Rochester, NY on Monday, May 02, 2005 If you've moved up from using FM modulators to listen to your iPod in your car, this device is for you. This device allows you to charge your iPod while driving, and it provides a minijack connector for you to connect your iPod to your car stereo via tape adapter or and Aux line-in. I use mine with my Belkin TuneDok to provide me with an inexpensive iPod holder and charger in my car. 12 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
