I bought the Belkin TuneDok last week in preparation for a long road trip with my iPod and my newly purchased iCarPlay from Monster Cable. I was a bit concerned that the TuneDok might not allow the iCarPlay's cable to plug into the bottom of the iPod, but the hole at the bottom of the cradle is big enough. The suction cup at the back of the cradle keeps the iPod from moving around, and the cradle itself is adjustable for different angles depending on the location of your cup holder. All in all a great accessory for iPod fans.

This is a real simple product. Just place it in your cup holder (it comes with three sizes to choose from), and place the iPod unit into it. A suction cup keeps the unit in place.

It does a fine job holding the iPod steady when you are using the menu. Nice and balanced. You can place the iPod at an angle or keep it flat. I prefer keeping it flat.

Not much more to say other than the price is reasonable at $17.99 (as of August 16th).

I bought an iCarPlay along with my new iPod Photo 60 GB and I thought this would be a great addition for my car to go along with the iCarPlay.

After reading the review that said it worked fine with the iCarPlay, I bought it. Now that I have it, it doesn't work with the "thicker" 60 GB iPod photo. I shouldn't say it doesn't work, it does put quite a bit of stress (more than I will allow) on the dock port when it is firmly suction-cupped into place with the iCarPlay unit inserted into the dock port. I had visited Belkin's site to ensure compatibility and they said that it would work (just not with an iPod mini).

So to get it to work with the larger, 60 GB iPod Photo will require an unnatural act performed with a hacksaw (remove the little piece that goes across, leaving only the two pieces that stick out to support the iPod from falling). That should solve the problem and at the same time, void the warranty...Bummer, but for the current price, I'm more worried about potential problems with my iPod than this unit.

This is my only gripe and it is very specific. To even encounter this problem, you'd have to use this product, the Monster iCarPlay unit and a 60 GB iPod Photo (the only one that is currently this thick). If you are using anything else (like a smaller form-factor iPod), then you won't have this problem.

Everything else about the unit is great. I was worried about the suction cup at first, but it appears to hold the iPod with no problems at all. Nice work Belkin.

I purchased this for my Toyota truck and my 20 gig iPod. SURPRISE! The dock doesn't fit if you have your iPod in a case--iSkin, or other one. Hmmmm. Have to remove it from its protective case to use this? Put the base in the cupholder. SURPRISE! It isn't deep enough to bottom out and hold the iPod steady, once I remove it from the case. So, I have a wobbly holder that holds my iPod in place--sort of--once I take 5 minutes to remove the case.

Thank you, not. Save your money and buy some songs from iTunes.

If your iPod has a protective cover (e.g. skin, casing, etc.), then the iPod will not fit in the holder of this kit. Otherwise, you can fit a bare (uncovered) iPod on it well.

* The kit fits well inside vehicle cup holders of various sizes, including adjustable cupholders.
* The holder swivels, so you can have your iPod facing straight up or at various angles.
* The opening at the bottom of the holder is convenient for plugging a charger into the iPod.
* The holder uses a suction cup to firmly grasp the iPod. It actually holds the iPod well.

The Tunedok definitely does what it'ssuppose to do. The only downside is that it doesn't fit with my Video iPod case on. So, I need to keep taking the case on & off.

It Protects your ipod, holds it where you want it, and can be used for a docking station on your desk aswell!!!

plenty of room for any "plug in's" you might have for your ipod at the base. doesnt move around in the car like the DLO trandspod does. and IF the suction cup ever does wear out, its easily replacable for about $1...

OK, it's not very good-looking and it sits in a drink holder. The thing is, it's so simple, it makes sense! You have the iPod right where you need it, close to you and to the electrical plug-in. I use mine with the Monster iCar FM transmitter and it works really well. Look around though, you can find the TuneDok for about $10.

This is a great product, but sometimes when you put it in some cup holders, the weight of the ipod will tumble it. Is better when your cup holder is like a ring and not a hole.

The Belkin TuneDok is what it is. There are 2 different base sizes and a rubber grip to pretty much fit all standard cupholders. There is also a length extender if you feel your ipod sits too low. It securely holds the ipod and is easy to move.

My *only* gripe with this item is that it's not convenient if you have something coming out of the base of your ipod, as the length of motion is limited by the base of the dock station. There is a hole to run the wires through, but if you want to pick up your ipod you can only life it away so much as it the holder limits the range. A simple fix for this was to just place the iPod in the holder upside down so that I could remove it from the dock without having to deal with unplugging the power cord.
