Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cables To Go 35508 iPod-Compatible 3.5 mm to Dock Connector Audio Cable (4 Feet)Customer Review: Lifesaver Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought a new car that has a headphone jack to connect to an ipod. A good thing because the stereo system the car has sounds like a cheap transistor. I decided to take a chance that while the stereo is a lost cause, the speakers might be an acceptable quality and hoped this might save the day. After reading some reviews about the improved sound one gets when using a cable that has a dock connector on one end as opposed to one that connects to the ipod's headphone jack, I took a chance, bought this and plugged one end into my car headphone jack and the other into my 30GB video ipod. Wow! After fiddling with it for a second or two and getting the connection tight by twisting it in the jack, it worked great, producing a crisp clarity with rich, undistorted sound even at the maximum volume level. I am overjoyed. I will note that when I first plugged it into the car's jack there was some weirdness coming out of the speakers- muffled, garbled sound, but tightening the connection to the extent possible solved the problem, and it has not re-occured after having driven with it for a couple hours. Even bumpy terrain and constant forwarding to flip through songs has no impact on the great sound. I also tried it with my 8GB nano- not the video one, and it worked just as well. If anyone is wondering, this device does not simultaneously charge your ipod, and you can quickly drain the battery if you frequently forward through songs. You may want to travel with another device for charging. I can't say enough about this...the cable is not too long, not too short, and it is of a good thickness - definitely not flimsy. Once you plug it in make sure it is tightened well until any possible sounds of static or distortion disappear. If it doesn't work for you, and I can't imagine why it wouldn't, there is the possibilty the cable isn't compatible with your ipod. I noticed an ever better result when I changed the equalizer setting on the ipod from "flat" to "off". My sincere thanks to Cables to Go for sparing me the misery of living with an inferior car stereo system.
