5 Stars Very Handy!
I’ve had this for 4 months now, and have been very happy with it. It works with my iPhone 3G, Touch 1G, and the kids’ 3G Nanos. It holds enough juice to take a Touch from red to full twice, and then has some left over. Perfect for long trips in the car or on a plane.
Special note for the Touch 1G: many external batteries block the headphone jack on the Touch, which is right next to the docking port. This one doesn’t!
5 Stars so far, so good
i haven’t had it for too long, but so far so good
seems to be money well spent
you need something to extend your ipod’s battery life
also if you buy this you won’t need to spend U$29 to buy the original AC adaptor from Apple
you can use this one to charge your ipod from the wall
4 Stars Very handy when traveling
I’ve used this on two trips and it seems to work well. I got 5 partial to my iPod touch to recharge it and 2 full charges to my blackberry. Definitely nice if you’re going on a road or camping trip.
4 Stars Does the job
I’m satisfied with the product. I find that it effectively doubles the battery life of the phone, it’s small, attractive, and convenient to use.
5 Stars Amazing product!
This battery pack extended the life of my iPod for my flight to India and back! In fact, I didn’t have to charge my iPod using my computer or a wall outlet at all during the entire trip! It was fabulous!

5 Stars Works great, is black (instead of dumb white).
Just wish it was free like the 2009 Sony deck I just purchased for my GF’s car…it was already attached to the deck and didn’t cost an extra $20+
5 Stars great
I purchased this unit along with a Pioneer DEH P3001 cd receiver and this is a winning combination it does every thing that they claim. you can control your i pod from the unit or from your i pod itsef.
4 Stars good
item was sent on time and it works. although it only seems to work with the new versions of the ipod and not the first gens
5 Stars 12 Bucks?!
This cable was 35 dollars when I bought and I still don’t regret paying what I did. It’s a sturdy cable and hasn’t let me down yet. I use it with the Pioneer DEH P3000IB and the only complaints I have are with the stereo’s controls, not the cable. The sound is great and at it’s current price the cable is definitely worth the money.
3 Stars Great to connect the ipod but mine does not charge the ipod
I was pleased with the cable as when I bought my pioneer receiver and my ipod I did not knwo this cable existed. I was excited to find out about it and had it installed right away. I was thrilled until the ipod stopped working, and then I found out that in my set up the receiver does not charge the ipod. When I connect the ipod the ipod screen says “charging is not available with this accesory” this was really bad news for me as now I need an extra cable to charge it or I have to take it out and charge it separetedly which was not the idea. So, make sure the charging option is available with your receiver. My receiver is a pioneer DEH-P5950IB.
