iPhone Car Dock

[Skipper]

I have been working on this one myself. Tuneflex is by far my favorite solution. I have my iphone mounted right next to the head unit, and I installed a noise filter for the alternator whine that I get when I am charging and listening to music at the same time. It has the line out jack at the charger so you have no exposed wires hanging, and the dock rotates for just about everything you could need for the iphone. It gives you that annoying warning screen that it wasnt made for iphone, just you just tap out of the screen and youre good!

hope this helps!

I have found what I consider to be a temporary iphone 3G car solution. The Griffin TuneFlex Aux (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/tuneflexaux) will simultaneously charge your iphone 3G and play music through either an auxiliary input or cassette adapter.

However, it's not perfectly ideal. None of the included dock adapters fit the iPhone perfectly I am not crazy about the 'flexibility' of the 'arm' that connects to the car charger. I emailed Griffin prior to my purchase and they claim that "...while the current TuneFlex is not compatible with the iphone 3G for the reason listed above that they are working on the issue.

For me, it's better than nothing. My previous dock solution was rendered obsolete due to changes Apple has finally made with the 'pin configuration' so I guess I'll deal with this one for the time being.

Lastly, after searching at two Apple Stores, Best Buy and Circuit City, I finally found one at the local Wal-Mart suprisingly enough....

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I use a DICE kit in my car - its a box of electronics similar to the Dension I believe, which 'impersonates' the CD changer (which has to be disconnected) and allows music playback through the car hi-fi.

A dock connector provides power and connectivity, and you can use whatever cradle you like. I paid GB£85 for the kit, and GB£50 for it to be fitted, and works great.
