Not sure if my item was an isolated case or if its a wider spread problem. I placed the cigarette adapter into my 12v in my car (Chevrolet) and all lights in the vehicle dimmed immediately for a quick second and then brightened back to normal. I tried the 2nd cigarette lighter outlet, same thing. What I did was just burnt out my two 12v fuses. I also tried it on another vehicle (Ford). This one it caused smoke. I wonder if the item was manufactured with backwards polarity; that the wiring was wired backwards with black to red and not black to black.

if you plan to use the ipod in your car with the belkin tunecast II. It cut the static down and interference considerably as opposed to using the tunecast II with the batteries only.

Works well, but after 3wks of occasional use the casing on the plug to the ipod came apart!

I noticed some noise from the iPod when the car engine was not running. With the engine running it was fine. The instructions mention that it works best when the engine is runing.

The charger worked fine for a week, then when plugging it in one morning it fried my IPOD. I was using the Itrip and plugged it in, then nothing. Apple said it was completely dead and i had to get a new one. I'm not sure if it was a faulty socket in the car or a faulty charger but i'm sticking to the mains charger from now on!
