2008-08-01
i was sent to this item by a griffin technology support tech because the new tuneflex aux would not fit my old style ipod and this older style would. what i got was another new style tuneflex aux. the item received was not the old style (as pictured), but another one exactly like the one i had already bought.
Get The TuneFlex AUX 2 Model, not this one. 2008-07-19
This product has been updated. Griffin has come out with the TuneFlex AUX 2 version. It is much better (see my review of it below)
TuneFlex AUX
-------------------
Plain and simple, don't bother with this product. It pales in comparison to the updated model. This model shifts around and isn't as clean looking as the new model. It also doesn't always charge my iPod Classic...which didn't charge properly for a lot of auto chargers (I tried about 5 different ones). Just skip this product and get the new version...it is worth the extra money. Read my review of the updated model below:
TuneFlex AUX 2 Review:
-------------------
This is a good product, probably the best auto charging dock available (I've tried quite a few). I own an iPod Classic 80GB (and iPhone 3G) and it charges and plays them just fine. The product arm itself is strong and doesn't move a bit. The holding dock itself (comes with a variety of docks for all your iPods) allows you to rotate it. This does move. It's stiff at first, but once you break it in it will start twisting a bit on a large iPod. Nano's probably won't budge at all. It's not horrible, it probably rotates about 10 degrees in either direction when I take turns. It usually goes back though, so it isn't the end of the world.
I will say the holders themselves, while there are many to choose from, really don't have much support for the product. There is no backing to them at all (except one which doesn't appear to fit my iPod classic, iPhone, or nano). No worries though, the iPod still manages to stay in place without a problem (and they ride in a Pontiac G8).
Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. If it was solid as a rock, I would give it 5...but it's pretty close. Again, if you own a Nano, this thing probably won't budge at all. The iPod Classic will rotate a little, but not much. If you don't want it to move at all, I suggest getting a Belkin TuneDok (goes in a cup holder) or a vent clip model.
Convenient, but there's a squeal 
2008-07-08
Just plug and play. I have it in our 2008 Toyota Sienna. However, when playing from my Nano(3G), I have to turn the volume up, much higher than the radio. Which I suppose is the reason I hear the squeal, and it is definitely noticeable when listening to podcasts. It doesn't matter what the volume is on the ipod.
I'm thinking of drilling a hole in the ipod cradle in order to directly plug the output into the Aux connection so that I can keep it charging and that should stop the squeal.
BTW, it doesn't squeal when I remove it from the charger and just use the aux cable.
Love it 
2008-07-01
I got this for Christmas (12/2007) and still love it. I have not had any of the problems others encountered... maybe it is their stereos and not the adapters? I have a 2007 Yukon Denali with a Bose stereo and absolutely love the sound quality provided with this adaptor.
Poor construction; fell apart on installation 2008-06-17
I got this package via UPS today to use in the vehicle I just purchased today. Not only did the unit get stuck in the power outlet of my car, but it caused a short which will not be covered under my vehicles warranty because it is faulty equipment that caused the short. Better off going to Radio Shack and buying a separate charger and stereo cable for about 2/3 the price. That's what I did, and I can actually reach my ipod instead of having to rely on the short arm this unit has
Does the job, no problems 2008-05-09
TuneFlex is a dock and charger designed with automobile convenience in mind. TuneFlex's flexible steel neck adjusts to any angle and its cradle grips your iPod, rotates to stay upright to an easily readable position. TuneFlex plugs into your car's 12 Volt accessory outlet to power and charge your iPod. The light at the base of TuneFlex's neck shows its power status. TuneFlex's charging circuitry is even equipped with a fuse to keep your iPod safe. TuneFlex has a built-in 1/8-inch stereo line-out audio jack lets you attach the included cassette adapter or cables from your iPod to your stereo. TuneFlex also includes a pass-through dock connector that lets you use digital devices, such as Griffin's iTrip with Dock Connector FM transmitter, AirClick remote, SmartDeck cassette adapter, or others. A low-high audio output switch ensures sound without distortion.
WOW! Perfect solution! 2008-04-24
For all the people who have almost driven off the road trying to advance their iPod while in the car, THIS is the solution for you.
It took a little while to get the angle just right so the weight of my iPod touch didn't drag it down a little, but once you get it adjusted, you'll stop searching in the seat or change container for your iPod each time the track comes on that you REALLY thought you'd want to hear someday, just not in your car, on shuffle, with a date ("How'd that CARPENTERS track get on there?" you'll say.).
Works as advertised, and a bargain at any price.
Awesome product for iPods for cars with AUX 2008-01-22
This is an awesome product and the sound quality is much better than directly plugging into the AUX jack of your car. I mainly listen to Alternative, Jazz and Classical music.
One caveat is that I did have to play with the Hi/Lo setting to avoid getting interference. When I purchased this product, even the employee at the Apple store was green with envy.
It's been 2 months since I've purchased the Tuneflex and I've not had any slippage issues mainly because I use the vertical input jack in my car (there's also a horizontal one in my car). The flexible neck is very convenient so that even the passenger can twist it around for programming from their seat position. This is definitely the best iPod accessory I've bought so far....
Good Idea but it doesn't work 
2008-01-16
The product was just what I was looking for but turned out to be a mistake. There is a fairly loud humming sound coming from the car speakers when I play my iPod Touch through TuneFlex Aux. I played around with the volume on my car stereo, the iPod and the Tuneflex itself. The only way to minimize the hum is to really turn down the volume on the car stereo but then you have a hard time hearing the actual song.. not really my idea of listening to music
Excellent Product 2008-01-08
After a lengthy search this was the only product I found that would enable me to dock and charge my iPod in my car and plug it into my auxilliary jack without having to pay for the FM transmitter I don't need. I've been using it in my car for about a month and it has performed exactly as advertised with no problems.
