The Dock Stubz converter works just as it said it would. It allows my iPhone 4 to dock to any device without the necessity to remove my OtterBox Defender series case. It was a little difficult finding this handy little device, but I'm glad I did. I could not find a docking station radio labeled iPhone 4 compatible that would work with the case on. I even considered giving up my defender series case and using the very thin silicone cases that are popular and still, the iPhone 4 would not fit in any of the radio docking devices, it was just too wide to get a proper connection. The Dock Stubz eliminated that problem right out of the box.

1/8' Stereo (3.5mm) Male Mini to 2-RCA Male Audio Y-Cable iPod Compatible (6 FT.) Review

1/8' Stereo (3.5mm) Male Mini to 2-RCA Male Audio Y-Cable iPod Compatible (6 FT.)

I purchased three of these cables for my boom box to stereo, for my MP3 player to my stereo, and one for my computer to my stereo. Upon arrival and physical inspection, they looked very heavy duty with thicker than usual cable diameter and 3.5mm plastic end. However, when I had one of the cable connected from my computer to my stereo, I found that the sound was reverse of what took place on the screen. Further inspection disclosed that the wiring of the cable was reversed. Red is for right, white is for left. But not in this case. That is an easy fix. Just reverse the RCA ends to get true sound. All three of the cables suffered from this defect. The other problem was with the 3.5mm plastic end. For the MP3 players out there one would have to be careful that the extra diameter of the 3.5mm plastic end does not damage the synch. cable going into the MP3 player as with my Zune player since there seems to be a rubbing issue. My SKU# for this order is A1536*NDC.

Griffin TuneFlex AUX w/Dock Connector for iPod Review

Okay, since I have only owned this for a week and it is already "breaking", it should get a 1 Star rating. However, there are some positives to it and maybe you will get one that holds up.
I wanted an iPod charging unit and had no need for the FM transmitter so I went with this unit. I have an AUX (auxillary) jack on my car stereo and you can't get any better sound quality from an iPod than playing through it. Plus, It was much cheaper than purchasing a unit with an FM transmitter. PROS:
1) The Design. Flexible neck. Good height, about 8 inches, and it allows the unit to be easily moved around to not interfere with radio or Air conditioning controls. When I first plugged it in I thought "This is great. A good sturdy unit" I was wrong though...see the CONS.
2) the AUX jack. You can plug the mini-stereo cord into the front of the cigarette lighter charger plug and then into your AUX (auxillary) jack of your stereo. That way you only have to drop the iPod in and take it out. No cords to plug in and out.
CONS:
1) The plug for the cigarette lighter has a big rubber gasket on it to "prevent slipping". The problem? It only worked for about a week before the rubber would no longer stay stiff enough to keep the unit from swinging to the right or left and having the iPod hang upside down!!
I was very disappointed this product only lasted a Week and have now printed a return label to send it back.
I was worried that this might eventually become a problem. I just had no idea it would only take a week for the rubber gasket/cigarette port to start sliding. Just as a note, it does stay IN the socket, put it doesn't stay stationary (it swings/slides) so it is not a stable unit for my iPod.
2) The hi/low switch and AUX jack. I found my sound quality was louder and clearer if I plug the stereo cable in between the headphone jack of the iPod and the AUX jack on the stereo. If I plugged it in to the charger unit, on Low power, it sounded very muffled. On high power, it sounded "okay" but not as good or loud as using the headphone jack.So, I am not getting back online to find an alternative unit. I'll probably have to purchase a 'fixed' position unit that also has an FM transmitter because that seems to be the majority of what is out there. We'll see.
Bottom line, I cannot suggest this unit to anyone because it doesn't function as described.
I just bought one of these for my wifes car too (a Nano version). We'll see if it lasts.
