That is the article that I had been looking.I strongly recommended this. For me is a great product, my Ipod is always ready for play my music on my car.
We kept it as a car charger for the iPhone once we were back to California (it still works, the iPhone still complains).We were totally mystified by the DC adapter for the FM thing - it was not mentioned on any of the literature that came with the unit, nor the packaging. It worked. The iPhone complained that it was an "unsupported accessory", but it accepted its electricity like a good little consumer device, and we had a usable iPhone for the rest of the trip. While on vacation in Scotland this last spring we discovered we'd forgotten to bring the charging cable for our iPhone. But there were a lot of mysterious thing about UK electronics and electricity.Our advice is to not forget your chargers and adapters when you travel. Since this was the last urban area in our itinerary for the rest of the trip, we went in. Driving from the Sterling area up towards Aberdeenshire on a Sunday, still getting used to driving on the left and traffic circles, we found a mall in Perth that had an open electronics store. This unit (the "ea" version) was the only thing we could find in the whole place that stood a chance of charging the iPhone (the connector looked about right), so we bought it - for about $40.
Belkin does not give you enough information to make an informed purchase so be cautious. This product does not work with the new I-Pod 16mb Nano.
So I am just going to throw it in the trash. So unfortunately, I am stuck with it because it would cost me more than I paid for it to return it. Lesson learned. I purchased this item not knowing that it was not compatible with the 4th Generation Ipod. The description was unclear, I hope no one else makes the same mistake I did.
I would look elsewhere. It worked well for about two years (of very light use) and then the connector just crumbled into pieces. For an item that typically sells for $20, this isn't the sort of quality one should expect.
