Editorial Review:

Charge iPod or iPod mini from cigarette lighter plug. LED indicators signal plugged and charging states. Fullyretractable cord doubles as FireWire/dock connector cable for computer connection. For iPod or iPod mini with dock connector.

Keep your iPod or iPod mini fully juiced while you cruise down the interstate with this auto charger from Kensington. The charger connects to a car's cigarette lighter plug, giving your iPod a virtually endless supply of power whether it's charging up for later use or broadcasting your favorite tunes through an FM transmitter. Users can learn the status of the charge by checking the two LED indicators, one green and one light green, that reveal whether the iPod is plugged in or powering up. The charger also comes with a versatile retractable cord that doubles as a dock connector cable or FireWire cable for computer connection. Compatible with all iPods and iPod minis with dock connectors, the charger carries a five-year limited warranty against defects.

ipod auto:

it works well due to it being easy to install and play the ipod I would recommed it for people on the go and who don't have cd players in their car

Functional, convenient:

My favorite part of this is the retractable cord. Makes cord management pretty easy since you can shrink it down to a compact size without having to wind up and worry about a longer cord than you need. That adds a level of convenience that other similar items may lack. Otherwise, it's functional - does what I expect it to. I've been pleased with it so far.

good product; keeps wires out of the way; compact for storage.:

Introduces Noise:

I like the compact size and dual role for the chargers cord, but when the Ipod's battery is not fully charged while playing via the I-Tunes module, a very noticable whine or wissle is generated by the charger. It works well when the charging current is not required during play (it's just keeping the battery topped off), or if you are just charging and not listening to your Ipod, but if you want to do both at the same time forget about it with this charger.
