Great idea, flawed design. This will be god send, to some a nightmare for others and it all depends on your make of car. Firstly; the technology works perfectly. Sound quality is as on any FM station on your radio. The cradle securely holds your 'pod and charges and powers as it goes. Brilliant. Except, that is when it come to to layout of your car. I've got a Rover 214. The cigarette lighter is right at the base of the centre console, right in front of the gear stick. So, to get it out of the way, one employs the extension arm that comes with the cardock and your 'pod is lifted above the gear stick. So far so good....except when it comes to corners. Your 'pod is on the end of an arm that is fixed into a circular hole and it simply falls left and right when driving in town or on a roundabout. There is a washer type item that you fit into the lighter socket to make the fit more snugly, but even with that it simply cannot hold that amount of weight, in that postion, securely. I can put in a postion that makes it rest on the edge of the passenger seat, but that isnt always practical. When buying consider where your lighter socket is.
