Good solution for in-car mini playing.......2007-08-15
This is a great solution for those who want to play an ipod mini in the car, charge it, and see the display. Worked for me until my mini died. I used mine in a Mazda 3 and plugged the output in the aux port that went to my head unit. The Belkin gives your signal a boost and provides a fuller sound than when you just plug the ipod into the aux port. When you turn off the car, the ipod is paused.
A few tips - You cannot use any kind of skin or the ipod won't fit. The unit has two prongs to keep the ipod in place but one kept bending (probably because I tried to use a skin and force it) and made the fit very sketchy. I clipped off the prongs and it fit snugly thereafter. If you get a humming sound, you may need something called an Audio Ground Loop Isolator which stops the feedback. Radio Shack has them.
ITS OK. you can live without it.......2007-06-27
this item is not so great. here are a few down sides. my ipod is a old school mini the big kind and i dropped it once and it put a dent on the bottom of it and this base has two teeth on each side that will go in the wholes on the bottom of the ipod to hold it in place. i had a very hard time getting my ipod to go in i had to cut in and do some work on it. second problem it shakes too much when you drive around and i drive a small sport car allways on the highway very smooth ride but the arm moves alot its not as sturdy as i hoped it would be
and second thing this thing dosnt do FM it will only work if your car is MP3 ready and has a audio plug built in the car.
and this only works with minis mine is allready full and i was thinking of buying a 30G video pod and i cant because it will not fit in the arm. i would say save your money and get something that will work with all ipods and its more sturdy
Awesome Solution to iPod's Power Needs.......2005-09-30
I got the Griffin iTrip to enjoy my iPod in my car, and then I HAD to get a Belkin TuneBase for iPod mini! With the short battery life that is further aggravated when using the iTrip, the TuneBase keeps my iPod charged so that I don't have to plug it into my computer's USB port every night after work!
Solid mounting solution.......2005-07-08
First off, I would note that the other review of this item refers to a different version of this product which incorporates an FM transmitter for your iPod mini. This product is a base/charger ONLY.
In that regard, this product works quite well. The mini fits snugly into the base. The steel arm is flexible, but firm, and is a reasonably good length. The mount itself has a one dimensional swivel so that the you can adjust the arm at an angle and still have the iPod upright.
One caveat is that you must give some thought to whether a power port mount is really for you given its location in your vehicle and the fact that you have to give up that port for other uses (i.e., I previously had a splitter plugged in there to permit me to have multiple devices powered off the port). I have this installed in a 2001 VW Jetta and the location works quite well.
As a side note - as to the FM transmitter version of this item, I am not a fan of Belkin FM transmitters that I have used for my iPod Mini in the past (although I have not used this particular one that is part of the base). Instead, I use this specific item in conjunction with a Griffin iTrip for iPod Mini.
great product that works!.......2005-04-22
I just purchased this product and it really works. I live in the washington DC area, which has quite a few stations, so I had my doubts, but it works.
