I've never used something like this, so....
I'd like something cheap, that will charge my 3g, and play music?
anything in particular i should look at?
thanks

I have the Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe kit. Not cheap, but it works for me. I like the steering wheel remote.

LiquidAUX(TM) Deluxe for iPhone and iPod

that one sure does look nice jr, i like the steering wheel remote too.
I was hoping for something < $60.00

You arent going to find something nice for cheap.
I have the Belkin tunecast. its around $90
Belkin F8Z183 Tunebase FM for iPod and iPhone in Digital Media Player FM Transmitters at JR.com

wow if you are willing to spend about 100 bucks why not just spend like 150 and get a new headunit that the ipod/phone plugs directly into? If you have steering wheel controls in your car it will even work with that.

Alpine makes some great decks if this interests you. But they are right... for 60 bucks you won;t get much better than a crappy FM tuner.

an fm tuner for 90 bucks? I just died a little...

I have a Touchscreen DVD receiver with Multiple AV inputs, and the Belkin Tunecast has an audio output on the bottom of it, so it doesnt have to be used as an FM transmitter, it can be used with an AUX input. What I liked about it is how it holds the phone, it has a cradle made specifically for it, its not some adjustable thing, so I know its secure.

I solved this by plugging my aux in to the audio port on the iphone... sort of defeats the purpose of this contraption. I guess if you want something to hold and charge your phone for 90 bucks... but again you can just get a cable that plug right into even the touchscreen (obviously depending on brand) and you can control it right from the touch screen. The each his own I guess, but it seems to me you spent 90 bucks where 5 bucks would suffice.

I wanted something to hold it and charge it, also my receiver doesnt have iPod controls. I wasnt concerned about the price, and I wanted it for a next day trip, so I didnt have time to shop online for a better deal. Im happy with it

[sziklassy]

Must be nice to not worry about price

[Chefanim]

well.... Ive got a job

[sziklassy]

So do I.... also have $36k a year in tuition
Ah well, someday.... LOL

[Chefanim]

Well thats your problem.... You need to drop out of school and just buy iPhone accessories.

[sziklassy]

HAHA, something tells me I would be happier if I just stuck it out

[Chefanim]

I guess... If happiness for you means financial success and a meaningful life helping animals... Otherwise go for the car dock

[sziklassy]

That made me smile. I gave you a thanks for it
