Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe for iPhone and iPod
Very poor quality

Very poor quality on all fronts. I still get the "not compatible switch to Airplane Mode" message with my 3g iPhone from time to time. I have the most recent updates on my iPhone as of 10/08. I have to un-dock and re-dock it quite often to get the audio to work. The grasping mechanism only works correctly 75% of the time. Will not grasp or release the iPhone at all if you plan on positioning the iPod/Phone to the left or right of the Aux Port. The included remote only works on occasion. Swivel mechanism on the back of this is very large and as a result the iPhone sticks out pretty far out from the dashboard (there isn't a profile
I read the mixed reviews and bought this anyway because there doesn't seem to be anything comparable out there. I would wait until something better comes out.(7 of 7 people found this review useful)

Poor Quality; few other options

Great looks but it stops there. Cheaply made, very flimsy. I put this in a brand new luxury vehicle and have high pitched engine noise through speakers when listening to i-phone at low volumes. Flex rod barely holds weight of iphone. No other options I've seen on market, but will switch when one becomes available.

Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe for iPhone and iPod
distorted

OK, I'm not sure whether to give this a good review or not. I have now purchased and returned three of these models and each of them has the same problem, distorted sound... I use a cassette adapter and purchased a 'coupler' to connect the dock. However, unless I plug the cord from the cassette adapter directly into the headphone jack on the iphone 3G, the sound is severely distorted. I contacted Kensington's customer service who were of very little help. I explained to them that it looked like the device I received may have been from Europe due to the EU listed at the end of the model number (I'm in the US) and explained my issue to them and all they could say was that it was probably defective and return it. I did that and still have the same problem. I'm curious if anybody out there is having the same problem.
Aside from that problem, the device is well built and would be ideal(7 of 13 people found this review useful)

Disappointing

I had high hopes for this product as it seemed like the ideal solution. But when I used it the power turned on and off intermittently and when the power was off I got a high pitch whistle from the engine. I have tried this in a couple of cars and have the same problem. It now sits in the garage unused after only a day or two. Shame, a good idea...
