 One of few pass-through cables! March 3, 2010
Was looking for an ipod power cable that would let me also plug in a microphone. This is one of the few that I could find. As a bonus it's a general purpose USB charger for your car!
 Works with my iPhone 32GS July 6, 2009
I bought an iPhone 32GS recently only to discover that the new phones do not charge when connected to older equipment (e.g. Apple Hi-Fi Speaker System, Alpine 9885 car stereo). [Apparently, the newer Apple iPhones charge exclusively using a 5V USB pin, as opposed to using the older 12V firewire pin.] I'm still trying to find a solution for home equipment, but I very much missed being able to charge my iPhone in the car while listening to music or talking on the phone using the hands-free option.
The Kensington 33368 is a simple pass through connector that receives electricity from the cigarette lighter. You can use it by itself to charge your newer iPhone/iPod, or you can plug another connector into the base of the Kensington connector to both charge the iPhone and pass signal to the connected device (in my case my car stereo). Charging works fine. The stereo pass-through partially works: I have to plug and unplug my phone in twice before my stereo detects the iPhone properly, and sometimes calls that I receive on the iPhone are not automatically sent to the car speakers.
Given the cost, I think this is a good product for charging but an awkward solution otherwise. Worth a try though if you are struggling with the same problem.
does what i need March 12, 2009
I used this charger with a pioneer ipod adapter with my ipod touch gen 2 because the pioneer adapter does not charge some newer ipods. With the pass through port I can now send the audio through and keep it charged. It is also handy in that i can charge it while in the car while watching movies or playing games.
I took off one star because the connector end does not work well with two popular touch cases I have tried, as it needs to sit completely flush with the ipod base to connect firmly. With the case on the ipod it vibrates loose after a short while.
Works with AVIC-D3 February 13, 2009
The new ipods do not charge with the pioneer cable, and this was the solution to the problem. Now my 4th gen nano charges no problem!
does what it says on the tin.. October 27, 2008

A cheap and effective solution to the fact that iPhone 3G is incompatible with Dension car stereo products etc.. which means that it cannot be charged. There is np other way to get around this. Great option. Works as stated.
