Low Cost Solution for iPhone 3G

August 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

After reading the reviews for this product, I purchased it to use with my iPhone 3G -- and I'm glad I did. Being able to listen to my iPhone while driving and charging it at the same time is well worth this purchase.

The power adapter in my car is vertical, so I don't have any of the "wobbly" or "droopy" problems that other report. The Tuneflex fits solidly in the power receptacle and stands straight up. I have an auxiliary input jack inconveniently placed on the far side of my glove compartment, but the line from the Tuneflex (about 30") is more than long enough to connect. The sound quality and signal strength that emits from the charging port is superior to that of the headphone jack, making this product a great solution.

Shortly after plugging my iPhone into the Tuneflex, a message pops up that says that this isn't a compatible device and asks if I want to switch to "airplane mode" (which switches the phone off) in order to "reduce interference". I reckon that this is Apple being selfish with their hardware compatibility licensing, and I am pleased to take a second to hit "no". There is no interference, nor are there any ill effects to using the "incompatible" device.

I use my iPhone to listen to internet radio while I drive (Slacker and Pandora are both free applications and allow you to customize the music to your personal tastes). Because I am using the auxiliary jack in my car, my steering wheel controls work great (volume and mute). When a call comes in, the music fades as the phone application comes to the forefront. The number and (if the caller is in my address book) name/picture of the caller appears on the screen and I use the button on my bluetooth headset to answer the call. Once the call is completed, I hang up using my bluetooth and *poof* the internet radio application starts up and I am listening to Rammstein again. All totally hands free, other than answering and hanging up the call. This set up is more convenient than having bluetooth integrated into the car because I can have the conversation in private, rather than blaring through my stereo speakers.

I have a 1-year-old iPhone 3G, and the only "con" I have is related to this. The Tuneflex is made for the iPod, not the iPhone. It comes with a variety of adapters so you can securely plug in a variety of devices. The one adapter that allows me to plug in the iPhone is very shallow. This allows me to get to the "Home" button below the screen, but just barely secures the phone in place. A bumpy road can and does jar the phone out of the socket, forcing me to close my radio application and restart it before there is sound. I'm about to take an extended road trip and will be packing a rubber band to hold the phone in place during the drive.

But for short trips around town, this is a fantastic product.

Integrate that iPod

August 12, 2008

Verified Purchase

This review is for the new 2.0 version. It has the variable output control on the base, while the old version had a simple high-low switch. This is important because it allows for a precise adjustment of the output from the iPod.

What will the Tuneflex do for you? First, it is nice to have your iPod up in front where you can see and operate it. It provides for charging and the sound output comes from the bottom plug of the iPod, rather than the headphone output jack. This provides for better sound as the headphone output is designed for headphones only.

You do not want an fm transmitter. Those are horrid in all respects.

These features are of no use unless you have an accessible lighter (or power output) and an auxiliary input on the vehicle's sound system. These can be added by handy people or the local car stereo installer.

Some reviewers have complained that the Tuneflex is wobbly. The 2.0 is very solid, but the lighter plug itself is often loose. Mine is, but it still works ok and is not too annoying. I may go in and tighten it up or replace it with a sturdier output some time.

The Tuneflex fits tightly, so hold down the lighter when you pull out the unit. Lighters are not very strong.

Note that the product description informs you of which iPods fit. The Tuneflex comes with a variety of holders that snap on to the stalk and hold the selected iPod securely. If you keep your Tunflex installed, all you have to do is slide the iPod in and it is all connected.

Well, you ask, what about the iPhone? It is not on the supported products list. It so happens that the first generation iPhone will barely fit one of the adapters. Pretty tight, but you can do it. I doubt the new 3G phone will fit, but

When you do connect the phone, a dialogue box pops up to inform you that it is not a supported device, so do you want to continue. Push "yes" and all is well. It works perfectly.

Griffin, the maker of the Tuneflex, says Apple has not approved the device. Apple is famous for tightly controlling things and who knows what politics, licensing fees or what else may be involved here.

None of this applies if you use it as intended, with a supported iPod. You can keep your phone in your pocket and use it separately. On my car, the bluetooth works perfectly and turns the sound down on the auxiliary mode.

So, it works as it should, is handy and tidy, and the price is right. I recommend it if your vehicle has an auxiliary input and a well-placed lighter or power plug outlet.

Too bad it stopped charging my ipod after 6 months

January 25, 2011

Verified Purchase

Initially I really liked the function of this product - it worked great for 6 months

I know since it doesn't contain a mosfet regulated power supply (to dampen the natural frequency the car's alternator generates as it pulses energy through the car) that it would make a whine, but I don't believe there's anyone on the market who offers this without having a large converter box.

Unfortunately, the pressure of an ipod sitting on the small prongs must have worn out the connector over time, causing the prongs that provide the newer generation ipods charging to wear out so no charging could occur. Without charging, you might as well just have the included cord, and you'll be annoyed whenever your battery dies or when you forget your ipod in your house because you were charging it.

I'm going to try another product next time...

iPod Auxillary Jack solution!

January 8, 2010

Verified Purchase

I just purchased a new car and it has the AUX input. My old vehicle had the iPod hardwired and I was worried about the sound quality with using an external device. The sound quality is GREAT! It comes with different sized "cradles" but none fit my 3 year old Nano, however the Nano popped directly onto the charger stand and it's bendable so you can turn it to suit you whichever way you like. Super cheap and easy fix to hear your iPod in your car and charge and hold it at the same time.
