Customer Reviews
Great for car stereo
If you have an AUX input and don't have a dedicated iPod interface in your car, this is a better way for sending audio from your iPod thru your car stereo than via the headphone jack on the iPod. The line-level signal is a better way to connect, sort of like the RCA cables for your home stereo, but you can't adjust the volume through the iPod; volume adjustment is done through the head unit (car stereo). So even if you have the volume on your iPod set to the lowest, you can still crank it up on your car stereo. The cable is also long enough for me to route it behind the center console and into the glove compartment, so I don't have visible cable clutter.
The only issue is that you must unplug the headphones on your iPod in order to have line-level signal send to your car stereo's AUX input, but that's the way iPods work, not the effect from the adapter cable. Also, personally, I'd prefer the 3.5mm plug being right angled, but I can always get an angle adapter elsewhere.

It works fine.
Bought this a couple of months ago and it works fine. Quality is decent (nothing has broken off or deteriorated so far) and the cable seems sturdy. Using the dock connection allows me to use other accessories that are top mounted and gives better sound when playing high quality sound files. However, if it's just a regular MP3 and is being played in a regular car stereo, the overall sound experience will be pretty much as if you were plugging into the headphone jack. In could not find this item in any Canadian stores, so Amazon came through once again. Overall I'm happy with this purchase and for the price I have no complaints.

GREAT Product
I recently purchased an iPod touch and a new GMC Yukon XL. I have always wanted to buy an aux. cord, but I didn't want to spend 30 bucks to get the cord. This product is adequately priced and it works perfectly.
