 Just like all the other belkin stuff I have bought July 20, 2008

This product is next to useless. It is impossible to find a frequency on which it will work without constant outside interference. It is obviously underpowered, which may well be to comply with legal restrictions, but if that is the case, why bother making it. I also have a cabled belkin ipod adapter which works much better although even that is fitted with a poor quality 3.5mm jack socket so you often have to fiddle with the plug to get good sound.
I've been dissapoointed with every belkin product I have bought.Belkin iPod TunebaseFM
Don't buy this very poorly made. June 7, 2008

Hi, I bought this Belkin Tunebase from Amazon and it snapped by the neck second time using it, asked Amazon for refund, which I didn't get surprise surprise. The Belkin is made of plastic and the neck bit simply isn't strong enough to carry an iPod's weight, it's also quite difficult to get in and especially out of your cigarette lighter, due to the rubber collar bit you have to stick into the lighter.
All round poorly made and a cheap product not worth the money in my opinion.
 Could be great, but isn't. June 1, 2008

On the face of it, this seems like the perfect solution to listening to your Ipod without a socket for it in your car. It's a charger, a holder and a transmitter all in one. Shame then that the nut that holds the support in place regularly comes loose, letting the whole assembly turn upside down. Or that the connection is so temperamental that if you hit a bump or try to touch the buttons while it's playing, it will lose power, disconnect and spend about 20 seconds trying to restart itself. Or that the buttons quite often ignore what you're telling it to do. Or that it will get bored before you've managed to set the frequency you want so you have to do it in stages. Or that you'll be hard-pushed to find a frequency that isn't clogged with something else, and when you do, you're driving! So you'll come across something else to interrupt your music very soon.
It could be the perfect solution, but the manufacture quality is so jaw-slackeningly poor that you are left feeling cheated, even at 9.

Can't say much other than plugged into lighter, moved out of way of gear stick and cradle came loose from twisty neck.

These things started off being sold for about 60. By December 2007, I got one for under 20. They are now being sold here on Amazon for under 8. Wonder why ?
Mine fell apart at the plug after only a couple of weeks use.
Seems to be a common problem reading some of the reviews here.
