Comments on: Kensington LiquidAux in-car iPod solution: Review http://terrywhite.com/techblog/archives/2070 Welcome to my technology blog!

I love mine so much I bought one for my wife a few months later. Incredibly convenient... for those of us blessed with Aux In ports. It's really nice to have everything dealt with from one little cord. My Element has an Aux In port right next to the cigarette lighter, so it's like a match made in heaven. My wife used to have the Belkin power cord with the line out port also, so as it happens, I had an Aux In jack installed in her car (2005 Accord), right next to the power plug in her center console. Once again, perfect placement for the LiquidAux. Fantastic! The one downside may be longevity. I've gone through two rounds of warranty replacements. The remote just plain stopped working on my first unit, and Kensington kindly sent me a whole new kit for replacement. Recently, my wife's stopped charging her phone (or mine, and ditto when we traded to troubleshoot), so once again, Kensington sent another brand new unit our way. Great that their warranty service is so great, but a little worrisome that I've needed to use it so much.

I am using the Belkin FM transmitter (yeah...it sucks too) in my 2000 Ford F150. About a month ago I found an Aux jack in the 2007 Toyota Camry hidden in the center console storage compartment. Better...but I hate finding music via the iPod controls when driving. I plan to create a setup like the one you have in your glove box.
