Home > Consumer Reviews > Kensington Car Charger for iPod and iPhone 1G, 3G (Black)

I purchased two last month and have encountered zero issues with them. The removable dock cable is very nice, and it will charge/power other USB devices. It's compatible with Apple iPod nano (1st, 2nd and 3rd generation); iPod (4th and 5th generation); iPod classic; iPod touch; iPhone; iPhone 3G.

Not the cheapest iPhone charger out there, but it is well made and the USB cable plugs in solidly. As others have mentioned, you can charge any USB device with this as well while on the go. Nice long cable, you could likely keep this plugged in and talk while *safely parked on the side of the road* :). Highly recommended.

Simple and inexpensive, providing a powered USB port you can use to charge anything. If the blue light bothers you, rotate it while plugged in and you can't even see it, or put a piece of tape over it :p

Enjoy!

I bought this so I could charge both my iphone 3g and my son's ipod nano while we were on road trips. It worked great on both.. FOR TWO WEEKS. Then it stopped charging and the piece that plugs into the lighter smells like burnt electronics. Luckily my trip took me close to an Apple store and I picked up a Griffin charger in there to replace it.
I'd avoid this piece of junk.

I would not recommend this charger. Mine worked for 4 days and then started to overheat after 20 minutes of use, and then it discontinues to charge the phone. To correct the problem I have to unplug it and let it cool for several hours and then it will charge again for 20 minutes.
