Amazon.com Product Description -- Posted August 13, 2008

Pure music, pure control. Compatible with the iPhone and most iPods, Kensington's LiquidAUX delivers pure sound from any direct auxiliary connection.

The steering wheel-mounted remote control means you have full control of your music--and your vehicle. The dock connector not only allows full access to your music library, but it simultaneously charges your device.

The LiquidAUX is Apple-certified to Work with iPhone 1G and 3G and be Made for iPod.

Installs Instantly
Simply plug your iPhone or iPod into the car kit using a 3.5-mm audio cable, and then insert the kit into your auxiliary port. Within seconds, digital-quality sound will be pumping through your car's audio system.

Fingertip Control
The steering wheel-mounted remote control is designed to be mounted with the controls on the interior of your steering wheel. The remote conveniently allows you to play, pause, and skip music files with just your thumb, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel.

Compatiblity
Kensington's LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit is compatible with the iPhone (1G and 3G); iPod nano (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch. Note: An auxiliary port in your car is required for the LiquidAUX.

The LiquidAUX is Apple-certified to Work with iPhone 3G.

Support
Backed by Kensington's two-year warranty, the LiquidAUX also comes with free technical support.

Important Note: Sound Effects
When using an auxiliary device in the car, you might hear a slight buzzing sound, engine noise, or high-pitched whine. That is because your car model has a grounding issue between the audio system and the power socket, which causes a whining or buzzing sound when you drive. This sound is not caused by your Kensington product; however, Kensington has an easy solution. Simply purchase an automotive ground loop isolator for your car that is compatible with a 3.5-mm jack. This simple tool will enable you to use your music in a safe, hands-free environment.

What's in the Box
LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit, remote control, and 4-foot audio extension cable.

Good concept - and a good implementation January 8, 2009
Mike Meyer (Herndon, VA)
After trying the deluxe version of this product (Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G I figured this one was missing the part that caused me all the grief - the holder. So I bought a $10 vent holder, and this.

It works exactly like I expected it to. The sound is excellent, the alternative holder is rock solid, and the iPhone doesn't suddenly decide it's not connected to the stereo system/charger. There seem to be lots of variants of this device for the iPod, but this is it for the iPhone. So I'm glad it works as well as it does.

If only I could get a holder that would plug plug it in at the same time, I'd give this five stars.

Very nice if you pair it with a noise filter--otherwise don't bother January 3, 2009
M. Welch (Austin, TX USA)
Of course the ability to charge and listen to your iPod or iPhone is a great idea. One big reason I wanted this particular product was to eliminate excess wires. I got it for Christmas, and once I got it in the car, I immediately had problems with the high-pitched whirring noise that accompanies the engine. From reading the other posts, this is a problem in MANY other cars. I don't know if that's this product's fault, or my VW beetle's fault. Anyway, I bought a PAC SNI-1/3.5 Noise Filter from Crutchfield, and it completely took care of the problem. Unfortunately, there's now an excess of wires, but it sounds great.

I don't know what to say... I hate it, but think it is great December 23, 2008
J. M. Stewart
The biggest this thing has going for it is that it is the only thing like it. I have searched and searched and nothing comes close to this. If anyone has something like it I would love to know.

The LiquidAUX works great with iPods. It only uses one connection on the bottom of the iPod. This give several benefits. One, less cords and hassle; no longer do you need a cord for the power and one for the headphone jack. Second, the sound quality of the dock connector is measurably better than the headphone jack. Seriously, if you are listening to music on a stereo system through the headphone jack...it's just brain damage. Through the dock connector is near CD quality, there are scientific reviews that prove this point as well.

The Bad.

I own an iPhone 3G. This barely works with it. Half the time there is a message on the screen that says it is not compatible with iPhone. It still functions, but I can only get the remote to work about 10% of the time. It so rarely works that I just put it in the glovebox.

Even with that, I still think it is worth the cash to get the great sound quality and charger.

The Bad.

This thing will fall apart much sooner than you hoped. It is barely put together. The charger portion falls out of the cigarette lighter all the time. The dock portion broke in half after a month. You can put it back together easy enough, though. After a while of this it got so loose that it started to work intermittently. It will charge for 2 seconds and stop for three. You won't notice it when not listening to music, but after a week your battery is toast.

So, you're thinking I got a bad one. Well as I said before, I love it; so much so that after the first fell apart I bought another. That's 2 in less than 6 months.

All the same troubles with the second. I will most likely be on my third before the end of the month.

Come on Griffin, get on your version for iPhone!

Doesn't work with all iPods December 21, 2008
C. Heilman (Verona, WI USA)
I was originally told that this worked with my 3rd generation iPod but that was wrong. The first unit I received had a defective remote but the second unit seems to work fine (with my iPhone 3G).

good but comparability issue with iPhone 3G December 20, 2008
Hail Bary (USA)
I love it when it works. I bought a ground loop isolated with it and the sound quality is perfect.

the only problem is that I get the error that this accesory is not compatible with the iPhone sometimes.

if I get this message, the remote will not function, so you have to unplug it and plug it back untill this message doesn't pop up.
if the remote doesnt bother you that much for this reason then you will love it w
