Amazon.com Product Description -- Posted August 13, 2008
Pure music, pure control. Compatible with the iPhone and most iPods, Kensington's LiquidAUX delivers pure sound from any direct auxillary connection.
The steering wheel-mounted remote control means you have full control of your music--and your vehicle. The dock connector not only allows full access to your music library, but it simultaneously charges your device.
The LiquidAUX is Apple-certified to Work with iPhone 1G and 3G and be Made for iPod.
Installs Instantly Simply plug your iPhone or iPod into the car kit using a 3.5-mm audio cable, and then insert the kit into your auxillary port. Within seconds, digital-quality sound will be pumping through your car's audio system.
Fingertip Control The steering wheel-mounted remote control is designed to be mounted with the controls on the interior of your steering wheel. The remote conveniently allows you to play, pause, and skip music files with just your thumb, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel.
Compatiblity Kensington's LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit is compatible with the iPhone (1G and 3G); iPod nano (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch. Note: An auxiliary port in your car is required for the LiquidAUX.
The LiquidAUX is Apple-certified to Work with iPhone 3G.
Support Backed by Kensington's two-year warranty, the LiquidAUX also comes with free technical support.
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.
What's in the Box LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit, remote control, and 4-foot audio extension cable.

Rating: - Charger connector is loose
I bought this product to make use of the AUX connector on my '09 Honda Pilot. I wanted to connect my IPhone 3G and the idea of a single connector for recharging and playing mp3s sounded like a good idea.
In terms of sound quality, it's definitely better than an FM transmitter.
However, the down side is that the charger connector (as many people in this forum have observed) is very, very loose. In my case, it caused problems with the sound, at times, only coming out from ... Read More
Rating: - Works well
Works ad advertised. The sound is great, and like most Kensington products it is built well. The only thing I would change would be the remotes suggested location. I found that it did not work well on the steering wheel, but when attached to the transmission lever it did. On the steering wheel it was always in the wrong place when I wanted it, and I kept moving it around. On the transmission lever, it is out of the way, but very user friendly when I want to use it.
Rating: - iPhone Car Option
Overall, it works great.
However, a minor limitation is that the accessory outlet is located near the AUX input for your stereo. The kit comes with an extension cord that will help.
The remote works, although, it can be a little inconsistent. Additionally, the remote only works with basic functions, and is relatively small, and can be lost easily.
Lastly, you do occasionally get the "Accessory is not made for iPhone", but all in all, it is a good product.
Rating: - Good, but could be better.
I've had this for almost two months now and while I dig having a remote that works (most of the time) and charger all in one, there are some issues that need to be fixed in the next iteration of the product.
First and foremost is that the audio quality when using the audio plug in the charger is quite degraded when compared to a plug connecting directly to the headphone port.
Also, as I said before, the remote only seems to work sometimes. There are times when it will work ... Read More
Rating: - IF YOU HAVE A PRIUS, IT'S THE BEST CHOICE OUT THERE
If you have a Prius, this LiquidAUX by Kensington is the closest thing you will get to a perfect car-phone interface. No, you cannot control it from the Prius touchscreen, but the charger and aux input fit in the center console and you have enough lead to the dock connector to put your iPhone/iPod just about anywhere. Me, I have a Kuda leather mount on the dashboard, a Dice charger cradle, and the Kensington fits in the cradle dock perfectly. The iPhone is then right next to my touchscreen, and an ... Read More
