Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CTA Digital 3 in 1 Car Kit for iPod
Customer Review: Poor Design
Summary: 1 Stars
I based my purchase on viewing the only customer review available....big mistake. The design is basically made up of 2 things -
1.) the main component that actually holds your ipod and plugs into your car
2.) an extension that plugs into the main component and then into your car (if needed).
The main component does not fit snug into your car lighter - the device "slouches" and falls forward (and I wasn't even driving yet). This was my first disappointment. Once I placed my ipod into the holder it was even worse!! The ipod wants to fall out because the transmitter leans forward so much. I didn't even attempt to drive around with the ipod in place for fear that it would go flying and smash into my shifter at the first bump (also you have to attach the ipod to the connector at the base of the transmitter, therefore possibly damaging the dock port connector if the ipod did fall out).
I added the extender to see if there could be any improvements....HA!! using the extension device made the product even worse!!! You can't tighten the joints enough to make the transmitter sit where you want it, and once you ad your ipod....FORGET IT! It looks like something out of the 80's...
I am packing up my purchase as we speak and sending it back to the company for a full refund.
