Just okay 
2007-12-11
Belkin F8V7058-APL. There is static with any movement of the connected iPod and an annoying electrical hum with the device volume control at certain levels. I don't know if it's broken or supposed to be this way. I'm too lazy to send it back and it's just acceptable for use.
Very good

Would be great device if worked properly....

I recently purchased this with the obvious intent of hooking an ipod into the aux jack of my car radio. In theory, this works pretty well. The charger plugs into the cig lighter socket and hooks into the port on the ipod. The charger has a port so that an audio cable can be run from the port to the radio. Charger even has a volume control for the audio out. In theory, this is great since only one cable would need to be run to the ipod. However, my charger does not seem to dock well with the ipod. The connector is always loose which results in not always getting the full range of sound. While driving, a bump in the road often loosens the connection with my ipod resulting in losing sound from the right side speakers. I have to constantly jiggle the cable. Could definitely work better.
Great Solution if you have a line input on your audio system

I recently purchased this item to connect my 2nd generation ipod nano to my audio system in my Honda Civic. They Civic comes with a Aux input so I merely connected a 3mm cable to the Belkin device and my stereo. The sound is incredible. Way better than when I was running the output through the headphone jack on the ipod. Once I set the level on the built in amp in the Belkin unit, the sound level is very similar to listening to CDs or radio. Don't have to worry about blasting my ears any more when I change inputs. For the money, this device works great.
Payed $40 to listen to my spark plugs

In my Mazda3, there is a constant hum--a crackling noise--that makes this device practically unusable.
I noticed that other reviewers have this same problem. Belkin has not properly shielded the device and this fact reflects poorly on the quality of their products.
Unfortunately I have not found any other alternative other than an FM transmitter (with lower sound quality, something I was hoping to avoid) or a $100-300 adapter to connect the iPod like a CD changer to the stereo.
Just be aware that the electronics are shoddy and that it may not work with all cars.
Simply Perfect Product 2008-06-22
Product is exactly what I needed now I can keep my IPOD charged and use the Aux input on my car without having to have two cables going to my IPOD. Aux is so so much better than a FM input! In addition to this product you will need a male/male aux input cable $6.99 at Radio Shack. The Aux cable plugs into the cigarette adapter end of the Belkin product and then will need to be run or tied into your Aux input. In my car the Aux input and charger plug are right next to each other so it was very easy! Volume control on the Belkin product allows you to get the right input level to match other radio settings and avoid distortion.
Great product 2008-04-23
This cable does everything I wanted it to do. The sound quality is leaps and bounds better than using a 3.5mm cable through the headphone jack. I really like the built-in adjustable amplifier. The cord comes out of the connector at a 90° angle from the iPod. It takes a little getting used to, but it wasn't enough to dock it a star. I haven't experienced any ground-loop humming/buzzing with our '08 Accord sedan. It has integrated seamlessy into my setup. Overall I am very satisfied.
Works well 2008-03-11
Charges you iPod. Has Analog out port to connect to tape cassette adapter. Has volume adjustment. Quality product.
Works great, but needs strain relief on connectors 2008-01-19
I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend. She uses it with the Aux input jack in her Mazda3, and it works wonderfully. We particularly like the audio output at the base of the unit--that means that only one cable has to come out of the center console to connect to her iPod. We use a 12" cable between the Belkin charger and the Aux input, which keeps the cables to a minimum.
However, after about three months of use, the connection between the cable and the plug that connects to the iPod started to come loose. There was apparently no strain relief on that section, and the individual wires became visible as the outer jacket worked its way out. About two weeks later, it stopped transmitting music.
Thankfully, Belkin has a lifetime warranty (with an express replacement option)--so I just submitted the warranty information.
The only reason this product did not receive 5 stars was because of the strain relief issue. Otherwise--it's terrific!
Love it! 2007-12-26
I love the functionality that allows me to charge my MP3 player and listen to it at the same time.
