First off let me start by saying this product is not made by Apple. The car charger is a generic knockoff and the casette adapter is a universal adapter for any CD/MP3 player and is not iPod specific. That all being said, the product works as it should.

The sound quality is fine as long as you don't crank up the volume on your iPod beyond 75-80% any louder than that and it starts popping and cracking. Since the music is being amplified twice, (once by the iPod and again by your car stereo) it comes over much louder than any casette you would normally play anyway so the volume shouldn't be an issue.

Other than the fact that I believed this to be an Apple product and was slightly miffed when I realized it wasn't, the only complaint I have is the length of the wires. The wires from both the casette adapter and charger are both pretty short and as a result make it difficult to find a good place to put the iPod where it won't go flying onto the floor of the car.

If you're not looking to spend the $50+ on the transmitter type adapter then this isn't a bad buy at all.

When I was shopping for car adapters and chargers, I figured, "Eh, they're all the same, right? Why pay $15 more?" Well, I was definitely wrong. Quite simply, this product doesn't work. I have a 3rd generation iPod and it won't charge it. In fact, it causes the iPod to freeze up and the image on the screen gets funky.

I wasted my money. Please don't waste yours. BTW, I have previously owned the Belkin and it was good. My only complaint is that the wires frayed after 2 years.

the car charger works great, just the tape adapter, they sent me some cheap brand that doesnt perform the job good. i thought i was getting an apple brand tape adater but i guess not.

Same your money, this is a real piece of garbage. I've seen some real junky electronics come out of China, but this is top grade trash. It appears to have cost five cents to manufacture and works like one cent worth of plastic. I can't believe that amazon.com has it listed on their web site.

The quality is very poor..cheap quality plastic is used.
Made a loud whirling sound when inserted in the tape.
The sound was louder than the music being played.
On top of this, it stopped working in 2 weeks of minimal usage.
Money gone waste...really poor

this item is priced very low due to its quality. wasnt even worth sending back. generic. the quality is terrible and the charger broke after a weeks worth of use

I bought this for a gift and my 50 year old Dad that is still living in the 16th century was able to figure out how to get it to work all by himself 3,000 miles away! Thanks.

The main reason I chose this model over the many others, was the coil cord on the adapter, as shown in the photo. When the product arrived it didn't have a coil cord. sigh. And there was no packaging also. Seems like this is misrepresentation.

don't buy the tape. the wheels inside are constructed such that they turn in the opposite direction. it might be that in a player that doesn't care about it, the sound is transmitted correctly via the magnetic head, however my car tape player immediately realizes that there is something wrong with the tape, first thinks it's the end of the tape, and after reversing the direction twice displays Tape Error and rejects the tape. the problem is not with my player, but with the tape. this cheap Chinese crap is simply constructed totally incorrectly.

haven't gotten the car charger to work and the stereo adapter works ok but it's tempermental and sometimes doesn't work. The sound comes out pretty muddled.
