We took a couple road trips recently and we used this baby a bunch of times for three different devices, and IPOD nano, Zune, and SANSA. No problems here.

I was looking for a cheepo Ipod USB car adapter...and that just what I found. It is cheap in price, even in construction. But what's the difference? It just works. Label say 12V input, 5V output. It has a red LED on the side that tells you it is plugged. It is made in China.

My old 30G Ipod's battery is now loosing its charge faster as it is getting old. Now, I just hook it up on this thing and no worries that it will stop in the middle of my long drive. It plays while charging at the same time.

I prefer the USB than the wider iPod cable because, more often the wide cable adapter gets broken by an ipod firmware update; not the USB.

Update:
I ordered a second one. This one does not work except for the red LED.

My charger came from Accessory Export, LLC Storefront. It looked slightly different than the one in the picture, but I didn't think anything of it. The second I plugged it into my ipod, the screen went nuts. My ipod is now totally non-functional. After this happened, I checked the output voltage on the unit and it read 12V. I wish I had looked at that before plugging it in. Some ipod chargers run at 9 volts. Apple's charger puts out a whopping 5 volts. But 12 volts is just way too much juice. Needless to say, I am not very happy with Accessory Exports. If you buy this unit, make sure it looks like the one in the picture, and for goodness sake, check the output voltage before hooking it up to your ipod!

These did not work on my I-phone 4. The phone shows the elect symbol in the top corner when plugged in but a caution message comes up saying that this machine does not support this device. The price would be great if they worked I would like to get my money backWhite Universal 12 Volt USB Car Charger for Apple iPod or USB Charging Device

Maybe I'm just lucky, but fortunately, unlike some other reviewers of this product, it did NOT fry my mp3 player(Sansa e280, in this case). In fact It works perfectly, and for
less than $5 it's hard to beat. I only wish I could have found one in black to match the gray/black interior of my Civic. Nice little gadget though.

Once again, another "get what you paid for" product.
It would work 10% of the time only after jiggling the usb corb or the actual adaptor in the car port. For it's description as a "USB charging device" it didn't fit a USB cable. It was very loose and only works at certain angles. I ended up throwing this away.

It does not work! I connected it to the car's outlet and into my iPhone 4 and it started charging but 10 secs after it said it could not charge it.
Tried again and did not work, so in the end, it is not doing what I bought it for (to charge my iPhone in my car).

Basically exploded the first time I used it. The case fell apart, and I had to mash all the inner workings back in, and use duck tape to hold it together. After that, it would get really hot when used (maybe that's because of the breaking / mashing / tape, but I'll never know).

If I'd paid more than $2 for this, I'd be pretty irked. But I guess you get what you pay for.

I am using this for over 8 months and it is still working fine. Will recommend this to others.

I ordered this adaptor and it was shipped but the USPS lost it. The company shipped another unit, no charge, and I did receive it. Product was exactly as shown and this company does support their customers.
