Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this as I wanted something that would charge my iPhone (1st gen) while it also allowed me to play through my aux cable in my car. I did think the mount had a aux cable plug in it. Instead you have to plug the aux cable straight into the iPhone itself. One star for Kensington because the cable was iPhone compatable, meaning the recessed jack was not an issue here as the plug was just slim enough to fix. However, having that plugged in makes the iPhone think you're using headphones when you're not. In other words, using a BT earpiece with the phone while it is plugged into the aux cable is a no go.
Second the arm is not quite strong enough though would be tolerable if the thing wasn't so top heavy. It rotated in the cigarette lighter to the point where I would turn a corner and have to "think fast" to turn, watch the people on the road and catch my phone! I tried to fix this but in a Ford Ranger this was impossible.
I hardly return things but at $50.00 I have to admit there is nothing deluxe about this item. It charges the phone and did not create feedback, but I can't have the phone flopping all over the place while I drive.

Keeping your iPhone or iPod within easy reach--and fully charged--is a breeze, thanks to this deluxe center-console mounted kit. The Kensington Car Charger Deluxe is designed primarily to dock and charge your iPhone or iPod, so you can easily view and access your device in your car while powering and charging it. As a supplemental value, Kensington includes a separate auxiliary cable in the box so you can play music through your car's Auxiliary port. If you're looking specifically for a car audio solution, Kensington offers several products with an integrated auxiliary cable, such as the LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit or the LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit. Each provides a streamlined audio solution, charging capabilities, and a remote (as well as a dock, in the case of LiquidAUX Deluxe).
Portable Power Whether playing your favorite music or chatting with a friend, the Car Charger Deluxe keeps your iPhone or iPod charged, usually without having to remove the case.
Hands-Free Conversations With the speakerphone feature, you can have conversations on your iPhone without taking your hands from the wheel.
Flexibility The cradle of the Car Charger Deluxe rotates, enabling you to position the device for either vertical or horizontal viewing, while its adjustable arms wrap around your iPhone or iPod for secure fit.
Compatiblity Kensington's Car Charger Deluxe is compatible with the iPhone; iPod nano (1st and 2nd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch.
Important Note: Sound Effects When using an auxiliary device in the car, you might hear a slight buzzing sound, engine noise, or high-pitched whine. That is because your car model has a grounding issue between the audio system and the power socket, which causes a whining or buzzing sound when you drive. This sound is not caused by your Kensington product; however, Kensington has an easy solution. Simply purchase an automotive ground loop isolator for your car that is compatible with a 3.5-mm jack. This simple tool will enable you to use your music in a safe, hands-free environment.
