Posts Tagged ‘3GS (Certified “Made for iPhone”)’

This review is from: Ppyple dashview car mount, FM Transmitter, car charger, handsfree for iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS (Certified “Made for iPhone”) (Wireless Phone Accessory) This device works pretty well with a few caveats. First of all, the overall feel of it is sort of “cheap” — thin plastic, etc. However, after using it for about three weeks, I haven’t had anything break, so I have to assume that they went with flexibility instead of rock solidity for robustness. The second item is that sometimes the connector for the iPhone doesn’t seat easily. I think this is because of the universal clip they use for compatibility with various types of iPhone/iPod. Still, it’s just a minor annoyance. The only real complaint I have is that instead of pulling the audio from the iPhone connector they make you use the audio jack for plugging in a jumper cable. This seems more than a bit silly to me to begin with, compounded by the fact that this 6″ cable is quite possibly the worst cable I have ever seen. Almost every time I plug it in I have to twist one end or the other in the jack to get rid of a strong static hum on the line.

That said, it does the job, the FM transmitter works pretty well once I found an empty channel, which was actually quite a task in a larger urban area.

Overall, I give it four stars because it does what it’s supposed to, although the audio cable is really pretty shoddy, and I have to say that they hide the fact it needs one in all their pictures.
