I am using this in my car, and was planning to use it with a charger that is located in the center column - but it stuck out a bit too much. So I'm using it in the normal "ash-tray" charger.

As a USB charger it seems to work as advertised.

If you have a USB device that needs charging, this is the unit you need. I have two different MP3 players. Both come with USB plugs to transfer MP3 files and for charging. That same cable can be used with this unit. Great solution.

Works great, no problems so far charging phones, mp3 players, etc. The blue power LED can be annoying if it happens to be pointed at you due to where your lighter is located, but a little electrical tape fixes that.

This unit failed after 6 months of 24x7 continuous use. Actually, it seemed to fail after unplugging it for a few days then plugging it back in which was done to check if it may have been draining too much battery due to always being plugged in. It did not produce any static when plugged-in as another reviewer had experienced.

I cannot play my MP3 player while it is charging. There is too much static. I use the AUX jack on my radio, so I'm not sure why there is interference coming through the power adapter.
