Black Dual 12v Dc Double Car Cigarette Socket Adapter

Black Dual 12v Dc Double Car Cigarette Socket Adapter
  • 2 adapter sockets
  • LED indicator
  • 12v Compatible

This dual charger is OK for the low amp charging jobs like GPS, Bluetooth and Cellphone auto charging. However, give it a bigger job like an 8 amp draw mini moto air pump (for pumping air into the tires) and it blew this 12 Volt Two Way DC Car Charger into a smelly mess (along with my cig lighter fuse). FYI-The Scosche 12 volt twin adapter is the same as this one.

I received the item very quickly as promised, no worries there. used the device for 1 week and 1 of the 2 sides stopped working. I did receive an email from the seller after advising my situation, I was impressed by the fast response. this may or may not have been a factory defect. Bottom line, is the unit broke, for whatever reason.

I just recieved this item and used it for about 4 hours before it overheated and stopped working. It cannot handle very much, so tread lightly.

Want Black Dual 12v Dc Double Car Cigarette Socket Adapter Discount?

I got this product to charge my phone, use an FM transmitter and use a GPS system in any order. I have not had any problems of the unit overloading like the other reviewers have described. I would just use caution before plugging in anything that draws a lot of power. One thing you need to consider is that it may need to be positioned vertically as in my car it blocks the stick shift. But not a big deal. Overall a good deal and get the job done.

It works perfectly. In my all three car. While going to road trip, this is very helpful. while charging GPS, I will charge my iphone.

5PC New 16A 12V Round Rocker Toggle Switch Blue LED SPST For All

5PC New 16A 12V Round Rocker Toggle Switch Blue LED SPST For AllI bought these to use in my Car. 12V system. I've only had these on for less than five minutes and the Blue LED's have gone dead. I bought five and all FIVE have non working LED's now. The Switches work but not the LED's. If you are looking for these switches for the Blue LED lights... then they are a waste of money. I could see One burning out... But 100% burn out in less than five minutes. I also bought the Red LED's so far they are not burning out. I haven't returned them. Just not gonna buy from them again. I'll look elsewhere.

led light is nice i hook it to a led light strip in my polaris rzr for a dome light works great

Switches are as pictured, the 4 that work are good quality, I just happened to get one bad one. Always on and no light. No comment on seller's return as I didn't bother for such a low price item (only needed 3 switches anyway). Would buy again regardless as the other switches are good and work well.

These switches are complete garbage. They are very flimsy and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them (I got a pack of 5) broke when attempting to push connectors on to the prongs.

I managed to get three of them to work well enough to use, but very disappointed in the quality.

The LED on one of them didn't work either.

Pico 6360PT 50 Amp Battery Cable Quick Connector Housing - Genderless 2 per Package

Pico 6360PT 50 Amp Battery Cable Quick Connector Housing - Genderless 2 per PackageThis porduct is well made and cost effective. While similar products "click" together, this one does not. This is suitable for temporary connections where one can hold the connectors together, or where you have the connectors mounted to a plate or bar of some type.

These are really nice connectors. When you put them together correctly they lock together nicely. I bought these for a solar charging set up for my RV, so that I could remove and replace it easily.

New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect Switch

New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect SwitchThis switch is way more heavy duty than I expected...in a good way. The price is really good for the quality as well. I received my switch on time, with clear instructions and a hand written note of enthusiasm welcoming inquiry calls, install questions and an invitation to upload pics of the install. Just be aware that all you get is the switch. You will most likely need to also purchase X-amount of battery cable and terminals to suit your application. I mounted my switch to a Taylor Cable Battery Box located in the bed of my Tacoma in conjunction with some Pico screw down terminal ends and an Optima battery. I would recommend having your mechanic or someone qualified set this up for you just because you will wind up spending a fortune on the correct tools and parts if you try and buy them all yourself. This is an easy install, but the bits and pieces get expensive. This is great for me because I do a lot of electrical work on the truck myself and this way I don't have to disconnect the battery every time I need to do something. Also useful when not driving for an extended period of time. Accessories drain the battery in about 4 days so this is pretty handy. Glad to have it in the case of an emergency, too. The one time I could have really used this in an emergency, I was lucky to have a buddy with a wood handled shovel.

I got this switch to use as a disconnect on my trailer camper. We use the camper only a few times a year making it a PITA to take the battery out and put it back in every time. I installed this 2 years ago and it is working like a champ! I have purchased cheaper models for use on my jeep for safety and they couldn't handle the abuse. This unit is very well built.

Buy New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect Switch Now

Driving my truck once a week does not help maintain the proper battery charge. I looked at solar trickle chargers but they are too expensive. This item is inexpensive and easy to install. The only thing I did different is install it onto the negative side instead of the positive that was instructed to.

Remember that this will turn off all electronics especially the alarm. A bit of an inconvenience but worth it. I'm tired of bringing in my battery to be charged.

Thanks!

I would highly recommend this product. Installed it on my RV. It worked perfect for my application. A very heavy duty switch.

Want New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect Switch Discount?

I bought this because my car's electrical components are failing one after another. This wasn't an issue until they started draining my battery while it was sitting. My car is a '97 Oldsmobile Aurora. This is important because the Cranking Amps are 1,000, the peak amps for this device. It has come through with flying colors. I installed it in a day with some heavy-gauge wire and lugs I found here on Amazon. It is pretty stiff which means you know when you turn it on, and it is very unlikely that you will be able to accidentally turn it off.

The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the terminals are on the same plane and relatively close together. This would be an issue if the bolts loosen up and the lugs turn. It is possible that they could turn, touch each other, causing a short circuit. This should not be an issue if you simply wrap the lugs in some type of insulating material. Though I wish the terminals were not on the same plane, can't have everything.

I would recommend this for anyone who is having major electrical problems, or for whatever reason you would want a kill switch. Just remember to insulate the lugs. It has saved me hundreds of dollars in electrical work for a car that is on its last leg, just prolonging the inevitable.

Optima 8022-091-FFP RedTop Group 75/25 Starting Battery

Optima Batteries 8022-091 75/25 RedTop Starting BatteryOptima batteries, by virtue of their spiral cell design and construction, there is not a wetor gel-cell lead-acid battery out there that can compare in terms of charging efficiency and durability. However, do not purchase this through Amazon -it is NOT an authorized Optima dealer. Only an authorized Optima dealer, where you made your purchase, is obligated to replace a defective Optima battery with a new Optima. Check the Optima website for authorized dealers.

The above said, Optima batteries are better purchased at your local auto parts store that is an authorized dealer for the following reasons:

1. In the event of a warranty issue, it will be a simple swap.

2. Eliminate the wait and reduce shipping angst. Although an Optima battery is quite rugged, when shipped in a flimsy cardboard box and then tossed around and dropped by a careless courier, the impact by the battery's heavy bulk can cause its plastic case and the internal connections to weaken, crack, or break.

3. You can visually inspect a unit for physical damage from mishandling. Missing retaining fingers around the vent covers is a subtle but tell-tale sign that the unit has been mishandled.

4. You can check the voltage before walking out of the store with your new battery.

Hint: This is a long-lived product -purchase through a store chain (franchise) if you anticipate relocating within three years, and do not lose your receipt.

If you insist on purchasing an Optima battery online, your best bet is to order from Optima itself directly. This is the only instance that Optima (the manufacturer) will deal with you directly and give you a replacement battery. Otherwise, all warranty issues are addressed through the authorized dealer where you purchased your Optima battery.

My 2002 vette needed a new battery and instead of buying the OEM Delco I decided on the Optima RedTop for a lot less money and more starting power. The engine never cranked better on start up.

Buy Optima 8022-091-FFP RedTop Group 75/25 Starting Battery Now

Worked great for 6months, then lost current. Wouldn't turn the starter over with out putting it on charge. Got progressively worse. Bought a battery tester and the battery failed the test.

NOTE-

Amazon doesnt allow returns for Car battery's so i guess i have to eat $100+. I realize you do get a bad batch, but not being able to return is what warrants the low review.

Read Best Reviews of Optima 8022-091-FFP RedTop Group 75/25 Starting Battery Here

Below is a copy of the email I got from Optima regarding a battery purchased from Amazon.

So be aware the money you are thinking you are saving maybe costing you big time. You should also know that for marine batteries Otima is strongly reccomending the use of there $200 charger to keep them charged properly.

Hello John,

Amazon.com is not an authorize online OPTIMA retailer, We do not know where they acquire the OPTIMA batteries nor does Amazon.com honor the OPTIMA warranty.

Want Optima 8022-091-FFP RedTop Group 75/25 Starting Battery Discount?

ive been using the dual purpose blue tops in my boat and have been so impressed with them that ive put one of these in my truck.

when you think about how much you depend on the thing its pretty reasonable to spend the extra money IF the product is true to its claims.

in my experience these things are worth paying extra for. i never worry about them.

Solar Regulator, 30A, MPPT, to 1.2KW, auto 12/24V battery

Solar Regulator, 30A, MPPT, to 1.2KW, auto 12/24V batteryCheap Asian knock-off? Yeah (the manual was either poorly translated or written by an alcoholic monkey) BUT this thing is quite well constructed and works every bit as well as my bigger Blue Sky MPPT controllers at half the price per amp.

While we were building out our main power system, this was used with a pair of HQRP 85W panels and a pair of Rolls-Surrette thick plate 6V 305 AH batteries to power the RV (pumps, lights, 2KW modified sine inverter, computers and LCD monitors, fans, and a range hood).

Literally took 15 minutes to install and hook up and worked flawlessly for the 3 to 4 months before we finished the main system.

Did I mention it was also (against manufacturer's instructions) sitting out in the weather the whole time?

I'll be building several small standalone systems around the place and will use these for those instead of the more expensive Blue Sky controllers. Hook these into 3 or 4 Kyocera 135W panels, get some decent 220AH AGM batteries and you'll have years of maintenance free power.

Do make sure to have the batteries attached BEFORE hooking in the panels, tho'. :)

Kenwood DDX512 6.1-Inch-Wide In-Dash Monitor with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver

I bought this to replace the stock head in my 2008 Caliber SRT4. What a difference. Coupling this with Polk Audio 6x9s all the way around + a 10" Sub and 200 watt amp made for a killer sound system in this little car.

Buy Kenwood DDX512 6.1-Inch-Wide In-Dash Monitor with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver Now

this is a great all around unit

i had to upgrade after my stock headunit took a dump and couldn't be happier with my choice

the earlier complaints about this deck have now been solved and all you have to do is visit kenwoods website to get the latest updates installed (Real easy) and if your using a rear sub via the sub out connection you will have to contact kennwoods customer support # to get them to walk you thur the process.

btw calling and getting a kenwood tech is REAL easy and they are more then happy to help you. i called 3 times about different questions and got the answers every time, with little to no waiting on hold. (thank you kenwood)

the deck is fully upgradeable down the road so if you decide to add navi, satellite radio, bluetooth or hd radio ect. your covered no problem.

if your wanting to use your ipod or iphone with the new update and the use of KENWOODs KCA-IP301V cable you will be able to control your ipod thru the deck seamlessly

i am currently able to control my iphone 3g with no problems. (Video music podcasts .ect)

so if your looking for the basics with the option to upgrade you'd be goofy not to seriously consider the DDX-512

Purchased as a replacement for factory DD radio, great head unitIt can be upgraded to all the stuff you exactly want. It plays DVDs, no issues viewing, great sound quality with the Alpine components, Have the navigation love it to just wish you could here the radio but I guess if you need directions your focuse should be there not the music, Radio is as weak as the factory radio so no change there but good news you can always upgrade to sat. or HD radioso for the price its a great head unit with even greater potential with all the upgrades you could ever want.

Easy installtook about 15 minutes, the nav unit took longer due to running/ hiding the wires, but all turned out seemless.

Want Kenwood DDX512 6.1-Inch-Wide In-Dash Monitor with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver Discount?

This is a good item for the price. it plays DVD's, CD's, musis and TV shows that are on your iPod. Once you get it hooked up it works great. My reason for only giving it 3 stars is the lack of information available regarding extra equipment to make it work properly. This information is not available on Kenwoods web site or Amazons product description or any other web sit I searched.

1. You will most likely need an antana adaptor. Depenting on what type of vehicle you have this could be as much as $50.00. Luckily for my GMC Sierra it was only $10.00.

2. In order to hook up your iPod you need another adaptor cable which was about $40.00. Additionally, this will not work on all iPods. I have an iPod touch which works great with this stereo. I also have an origional iPod classic that does not work even with the upgrades available on apple's web site. I took my older iPod to a local stereo store to seek help and they told me that it is simply "too old to work with this stereo". The product description for this stereo says it works with all iPods version 1.2 or newer and I have found this to be false.

3. Mounting HardwareUnless you are replacing an existing aftermarket double din deck you will also need a dash kit. The installation hardware that comes with the unit is useless for a GMC sierra. Add another $20.00.

4. This deck does not come with a remote control. This is not deceptive as the product description does not state that there is a remote included. However some movies will not play without the comand from a remote. Another $30.00.

5. If you want to maintain your door chimes and factory computer functions of your particular vehicle, you need an additional unit that plugs inline with your factory wiring harness before pluging into the deck. For a GMC Sierra this was another $189.00. You don't NEED this to make the deck work but again, not mentioned in the product description, anywhere.

Enough bashing on this unit as it does have a couple of unexpected useful features.

1. It clearly states in the instruction manual that you cannot play video from your iPod on this unit. That is not true. I watch movies, TV shows and any other type of video from my iPod touch without any problem.

2. The installation manual wants you to install this unit so that it won't play video while you are driving. This can be easily over riden by grounding the wire on that back of the deck that they want you to connect to your park brake.

Hope this is helpful because none of this information was available to me before I purchased this unit. But now that I have it hooked up, and over $250.00 additional dollars later I love this unit!!!

I just purchased this unit upgrading from my old kenwood head unit. I found out the hard way that there is some serious issues with this unit.

1. The unit is "Satellite XM/Sirius" Ready, but Kenwood has not released the cables needed to connected the unit to the Sirius unit. So basically if you buy this unit to listen to Satellite radio, you are out of luck until Kenwood releases the proper cable. I called Kenwood Usa support about this and they can't give a reason why the cables are not available, but said they should be available by April 2008. In the meantime I can't listen to my Sirius.

2. The unit claims to be able to play MP3, JPEG photos, and MPEG videos from a USB device (ext USB hard drive or thumb drive). I bought a external USB hard drive and it was able to play MP3s from it but no JPEG and no videos. I emailed Kenwood USA about this and they responded with this:

"The DNX-5120 and DDX-512 are currently unable to play MPEGs or JPEGs via USB. We are aware of this issue and currently working on a fix to solve the problem. When the fix is available, we will contact and email you the update."

So now I can't play my Satellite radio or play JPEG and Mpeg videos from my USB device! But there is more:

This is supposed to also have bluetooth with the optional BT-200 bluetooth unit. I called Kenwood and the Bluetooth add on will not be available until May 2008 according to Kenwood USA.

So I can't use my Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, or JPEG, MPEG files!

So basically if you are going to buy this unit, wait until May when they are supposedly going to have everything available. I am not a happy customer!

Duracell DRINVP100 100W Pocket Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB Port

Duracell DRINVP100 100W Pocket Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB PortNone of these cheap inverters produce a nice AC waveform. They tend to produce square waves, and this device even says that it has a "non-sinusoidal" waveform. This can actually damage some electronics. Be sure to read the owners manual.

Cons:

Only 1 USB port

Only 1 AC port

Pros:

Compact and works well enough for small devices (read warnings in manual about devices not to use it for).

Bottom Line:

They really hampered this by not putting at least 2 USB ports on it, as some cars have only 1 12v outlet up front by the driver, so if I need to plug in two cell phones to charge, this doesn't help me unless I use the AC adapter for one of them. I had some odd behavior with the AC port as well, my touch screen wouldn't respond on my phone when it was plugged into the AC port. Probably related to the poor AC waveform. Powering my small devices it is cool and quiet. It didn't get warm or anything.

We go camping a lot, and we like to take our iphones and ipads. This is state park camping, not serious camping. Normally we don't have power on camp outs so we charge iphones in the car, etc. but that's a time consuming thing. This adapter plugs into your car's power port (once called a cigarette lighter) and gives you both a usb and a regular 3 prong ac port (like you have at home). We were able to charge the iphone via the usb port and the ipad via the power port with no problem. The device gets a little warm but it has vents to expel the hear. Also, it's very rugged and sturdy and has a user replaceable fuse. It also says it has an auto power shutoff in case of a surge.

We also recently used this at the drive in movies to power a boombox, worked like a charm. I would be careful about using it without the car running as it might drain your battery but we didn't run into problems.

Well done Duracell! Let the hurricanes come (not really).

Buy Duracell DRINVP100 100W Pocket Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB Port Now

Put simply, this inverter turns your car's cigarette lighter into a three-prong outlet (for electronic device that use 100 W or less). In addition to the outlet it also has a USB outlet.

The usefulness of the inverter are clear: it saves you from needing an adapter for each one of your electronic devices that you want to use in the car -it's one stop shopping. Anything with a two or three-prong plug can plug into it.

The inverter is small enough that it can easily fit into a glove box (taking up about as much space as a GPS) or into your computer bag.

During use I didn't notice anything unusual about the operation. Despite the fan it runs pretty quietly.

My one complaint is that the chord that goes into the cigarette lighter is so short that the inverter cannot reach the back seat or rear of the car. That means passengers are dependent on the people in the front of the car to plug and unplug devices. I took off one star for that.

Recommended.

TMS PJ3500 3500-Pound 12-volt Electric Power Tongue Jack RV Utility Boat Trailer Camper

TMS PJ3500 3500-Pound 12-volt Electric Power Tongue Jack RV Utility Boat Trailer CamperThis jack is being marketed under many names. I bought one from this vendor July 2011 and finally got around to installing it at the end of June 2012.

It is junk, mine failed after less than a month of use.

It is interesting that this vendor has added a sticker to the jack claiming it has a 3500 pound capacity while most others are saying it has a 3000# rating. Otherwise the units are identical. As other reviewers have noted this unit is really only suitable for raising a tongue with a few hundred #s of load. Since trailer couplers often hangup on the ball until part of the tow vehicle weight is lifted even a small trailer is likely to cause this jack to fail.

Brush type DC motors(I am an electrical engineer) are moderately reliable when operated within their load ratings, but when overloaded brushes quickly fail. When I tap the motor housing while holding the switch on and use the crank to rotate the motor it intermittently starts. This tells me that this motor has suffered brush failure and that the motor is not suitable the the load it is experiencing. The motor is small,just 3 1/4 " diameter and 4 3/4"long, only slightly bigger than auto blower motors. It is totally enclosed, necessary for its exposure to the elements but that also means it will have difficulty dissipating heat.

Also, the jack does not use a hex head for manual operation and the handle which comes with it will not clear many V nosed trailers. So when the motor fails you have to crank it half a turn at a time. If it used a hex head or perhaps a 1/2" socket drive you could use a variety of ratchet handles.

So do yourself a favor and buy a better unit. This jack is poorly engineered and vastly overrated.

I may do a tear down and follow up with details of internal construction.

t just love this electric jack it works good has a very good lift it could be faster but it is ok

I have not used the jack except for just raising and lowering it for test on my camper, but it worked like I expected. At first it would not work until I discovered that the paint on it and the toungue was preventing it from grounding. I removed the flat washer from one of the bolts and tightened it to break the paint seal and it worked as expected. If it doesn work after awhile, I will post again. I like the built-in lights too.

Schumacher SS-120A-PE 12 Amp Ship 'N' Shore Battery Charger

Schumacher SS-120A-PE 12 Amp Ship 'N' Shore Battery ChargerI purchased this for my trolling motor as my brother kept on me about getting a battery charger marine type. Anyway, it works just great and from my perspective, no second guessing, just simple hook it up and forget it! I now have the confidence that I am not overcharging, that I won't get stuck out in the middle of our lake with a drained battery and that my brother is now a happy fisherman as he comes up to the lake and uses MY pontoon and trolling motor which now always has a fully charged battery!!!! Hooray for simplicity and excellence in quality!

I ordered this charger thinking that with the Schumacher name it would last another 25 years like my old Schumacher charger. Nope. It charged one battery then died. I initiated a return with Amazon and got it replaced. Well the replacement charger would not even come on when I got it! Now I am sending 2 of these chargers back to Amazon and will look at another brand for my replacement charger. Wow how quality has changed when the items are made in Mexico instead of the USA where my old one was made. Says a lot about the shape of the country and the world in general.

Buy Schumacher SS-120A-PE 12 Amp Ship 'N' Shore Battery Charger Now

its slow and methodical.. when the green light comes on the battery is truly topped off to the brim. I have a sears fast charger that does the job quicker ,but the battery gets hot and doesnt seem to go as long on the trolling motor as when i use the schumacker. I have a feeling my battery will last more years using this one.

Read Best Reviews of Schumacher SS-120A-PE 12 Amp Ship 'N' Shore Battery Charger Here

I thought it was pricey but after using it for several weak batteries, I would not sell it for any amount. I reactivated a dead maintenance free battery that had not been used in over 5 years. Took 48 hours but it de-sulphated and revived at least one dead cell. Battery voltage is now 12.9 VDC and will operate the starter for a 15 hp generator engine. Battery envolved is a CP 12180 12volt 18 Amphour sealed lead acid.

I also use it on my trolling motor batteries and get a superior charge.

Whenever having to find a source for a USB powered electronic, needing an extra iPod cable connecter with extra cord length, or just needing that AC adapter to recharge your phone with its data-cable, this is a must buy for you. Having used all 3 of this combo buy, they simply do the job that I needed and more. I never though that at this price, I would get everything I needed for my phone and stereo but I did. I get my phone charged while at home and in the car while having my stereo pumped up at max with the USB to outlet adapter. Really if you have troubles finding a source of power for your phone, stereo, cd player, and everything else, get this and your problem with finding power will be gone for good for life.

Original OEM Car + Travel Charger + Data Cable For Motorola Droid X Includes DBRoth Microfiber Cloth

Original OEM Car + Travel Charger + Data Cable For Motorola Droid X Includes DBRoth Microfiber ClothEven though the Droid X has a good battery, if you use it a lot it will not last the day. This bundle allows you have extra power cords at work and in the car to ensure you can easily recharge your phone.

Received exactly what I ordered, still on the original factory packaging. It truly was original OEM equipment as advertised.

I PURCHASED THE MOTOROLA OEM 4 PC. KIT AT A GOOD PRICE AND EVERYTHING WORK GREAT

Read Best Reviews of Original OEM Car + Travel Charger + Data Cable For Motorola Droid X Includes DBRoth Microfiber Cloth Here

I know the Droid X is an old phone (by now), but when I had my phone plugged into the wall charger, the phone began exhibiting some ridiculously strange behavior such as: opening and closing random apps on its own, opening the messaging app (droid OS default) and typing messages to people in my contact list, creating calendar events with gibberish in the description, and so on. In short, it seemed like my phone was possessed! Never happened with any other charger or when the phone was not plugged in.

I could only attribute it to the wall charger...very weird. Other than that, everything else was great.

Everything was as described. The car charger and data cable work perfectly. Didn't really have much use for an additional wall charger or the screen wipe, but it was a nicely priced bundle. No complaints from me.

Samsung ECS-K1F8BEGSTA Verizon Galaxy Nexus Car Mount Kit - Retail Packaging - Black

Samsung ECS-K1F8BEGSTA Verizon Galaxy Nexus Car Mount Kit - Retail Packaging - BlackThis is the US model (ECS-K1F8BEGSTA) and does not have 3 pins, nor does it have connectors on the base so you can leave your dock plugged into the audio and power ports.

Do not buy this model unless it's updated in place with the correct version. (Search Amazon for a similar model, ECS-K1F2BEGSTD, which is advertised as for the Nexus S, and has similar complaints but those seem to have been resolved. I'm not sure if ECS-K1F2BEGSTD works for Galaxy Nexus but if so, that would be the one to buy.)

Just search for "ECS-K1F8BEGSTA" online and you'll see many people complaining about it. http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-accessories/140970-vzws-car-dock-has-no-3-pin-connection-4.html

It is NOT a real navigation mode car dock -in other words, there are not three metal pins on the inside of the plastic holder, which would initiate "car mode" -so this will not work as described. It does NOT put your Galaxy Nexus into navigation / car mode upon plugging it in.

What's worse, the connectors for audio and power have to be plugged directly in to the phone and CANNOT be left plugged into the base of the dock, which thereby makes it NOT A DOCK, either. (A "dock" is something you plug your device into without having to plug in the cables and connectors as well. This is a holder, not a dock.)

I got this dock from Verizon when I bought my Galaxy Nexus on release day. What a piece of garbage. Does not have the 3 pin connector. Tell me, why would I buy this overpriced hunk of junk when I could get a generic mount for a lower price that actually leaves space for you to plug into it?

Avoid at all costs.

This mount does not have the 3 pins to make it a true car dock. It will not charge your phone, or will it do audio passthrough like the GSM version does!@!!!

I came from the Droid X and an easy dock to use and had power in the dock. This dock is hard to use, I have to force the phone in and even harder to remove from the dock, sometimes dropping the phone in the car. Then the external power cable has to be connected to the phone in the dock. The Galaxy Nexus has three pins to charge the phone but this dock does not have this capability, the European version does. I have the VW Jetta that has a long reach to the windshield, so it is a long reach to work with the phone. It also is not very adjustable to angle the phone to remove light glare on the phone screen. Overall this is a cumbersome, hard to use dock with out power. I mount it to a bean bag I have for the Garmin.

This is the worst design for a car mount that I could possibly ever imagine. It is semi-hard rubber product, and it is EXTREMELY difficult to get the phone in and out of it -it puts a Death Grip on the phone, 360 degrees around all edges. Is that REALLY NECESSARY?!?!?! REALLY!?!?!?! My Nexus is not a hardened criminal convict that will do anything to escape the clutches of a car mount! It's just a phone! I shouldn't need both hands and a whole squad of Chuck Norrises to extract my phone from its car mount!

Also, rather than just have cut-outs for the volume and power buttons, they made a rubber "skin" to cover the buttons. It works OK but WHY!?!?!?! Also, the cut-outs for the micro-usb power and 3.5mm jacks are WAY TOO SMALL and do not allow most cables to be used. The power adapter that comes with it has a tiny little narrow plug, so that's OK, but TOUGH LUCK if you want to use any other normal micro-usb charger.

Samsung, you should be ashamed of yourself. This thing is a piece of garbage.

After major surgery with a Dremel tool to extract 80% of the unnecessary death-grip edging, I finally have a butchered product that I only need one hand to insert or extract my phone. Hooray indeed.

Anybody have any recommendations for a decent mount for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

Brand New XS Power XP950 950 Watt Power Cell Car Audio Battery Power Stereo System with Terminal Hardware and Installation InstructionsThis is the true way to take the strain off your alternator!!!! I put one of these between my bb2400 (PA 3000 watt amp) and my stock battery in a 2003 1.6L Mazda and shibby, no more power issues. Power caps don't solve your problems, battery's do!! And on a side note they are easily installed, more so than a capicator.

Superwinch 1120149 Winch-In-A-Bag, Portable, No permanent Installation required.

Superwinch 1120149 Winch-In-A-Bag, Portable, No permanent Installation required.Initially I bought Winch-in-a-bag for my Elk hunt to Colorado. After recieving it this past Saturday I wondered how I could try it out. Well today my better half ran the riding mower in the creek beside the property. Using it just as the instructions state it pulled the tractor out no problem. With this being the first winch I ever used the only thing I didn't like was how the cable doesn't wind evenly.

I used this product in the process of cutting down 16 trees to help guide the tree in the proper direction. It functioned in this application. However, the cable tends to track into the sharp edge of the Hause or cable lead hole. This action quickly wears the TPO block and results in cable damage against the sharp edge of the metal hause. The TPO block is not available as a service part. Additionally, on my unit, the "spring steel cable tensioner" proved defective. It cracked apart and was also scraping on the cable. Based on the tracking design issue, I would not recommend this winch for anything more than a once or twice in a lifetime use in a pinch. I am guessing the tensioner issue was a quality defect.

Good for small jobs but lacks power. I bought it to use on a 63 foot Rohn fold over radio tower but it had insufficient power to raise it.

Read the reviews before I bought this and was apprised at the vat differences in them. I needed a winch for some light lifting and to move a truck around my yard. It functioned flawlessly. I think that if it is used as designed it does what it is supposed to at a very reasonable price. If you are stupid enough to think this can be used like a piece of heavy industrial equipment then you will be disappointed. If you want something to throw in your trunk as insurance to drag yourself out of a ditch it will work perfectly. I would recommend getting some sort of snatch block so you can double it's load pulling capability.

Product is fine for light work ---I live in Alaska and used the winch to pull my snowmachine out of deep snow -the winch worked fine but the yellow cover over the terminals came apart and the engage/disengage knob broke after the second use --outside temp. was plus 20 above this knob is made of plastic and does not hold up after minumal use. The bag the winch comes in--is way to small and also does not hold up well-maybe this item should be called a throw-away winch.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Chevrolet/Cadillac/GMC Mo

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Chevrolet/Cadillac/GMC ModelsWe use our Suburban for fishing trips, and wet wading boots aren't compatible with the stock carpet mats. These fit perfectly, catch all the grime, and the raised lip contains debris within the mat (just remember to raise your foot and not drag it on the lip when entering). Very easy to remove and clean.

Husky Liners Always a Perfect Fit. I have owned these for almost every car/truck I have owned and I have never been dissapointed. The cutouts and humps, etc are exactly where the should be everytime. Highly recommended!
