Hyundai iPod Cable
- OEM Product/ Wholesale price
Now it is August and the cord no longer charges my phone. Not sure what happened, it charged before and now both of our iphones no longer charge. It still plays the much, but very bummed that it quit charging...so now my battery dies during my commute because Pandora drains your battery...is anyone else having this issue?!?I bought this cable thinking that it would give me some sort of increased functionality over the standard iPhone USB cable -it does not. In fact, I get less functionality with this cable. I'm not sure if that's due to the cable itself or the way the vehicle handles the AUX inputs when the cable is used, but this is what I found:
When I connect the Hyundai iPod Cable to my iPhone 4, the Santa Fe's screen says "AUX connected" and my iPhone says it's charging. I can then play music over the Santa Fe's speakers but I need to use the phone to control everything -I can't select songs via the Santa Fe's music controls. I also can't pause or skip tracks.
If I use the standard, white iPhone USB cable I get much more functionality. The Santa Fe's screen shows me all of the album info (including album art) and allows me to play/pause/skip tracks. This also holds true if I'm playing Pandora on my phone.
In short, the cable that comes with your iPod/iPhone gives you MUCH more functionality than the Hyundai iPod Cable -don't waste your money on it.

Easy, fun and can't beat the price...totally would recommend the vendor, received within days even though the estimate was 2-weeks.Buyer be warned, the dealer will try to charge you $40 for this, I have NEVER had a problem with it use it for iPod, 4 generaions of iPhones and still no problems do not waste your money at the dealers.Don't buy this item for your Santa Fe 2013. First it is not fonctionnal! All you have to do is plug your ipod wire to the usb plug and your audio system will recognize it. Now if you follow my advice...you just save 13$!I love it! It offers me the ability to control my iPod using the steering wheel mounted radio controls. And it was about half the price compared to what my local Hyundai dealer wanted for the same product.

Black & Decker PI100AB Inverter
If you have a medium or larger laptop, heed my warning: If you're looking to charge your laptop from a dead battery, this will do it, provided you don't do something stupid like turn the laptop on while it's charging. You have a choice: You can keep the laptop powered by this inverter while your battery is at full power, or you can charge your dead laptop while it's powered off. You will probably ruin the inverter or pop its fuse if you try to charge your dead laptop AND power it at the same time.

I've had other inverters before and this one isn't louder than any of the other ones i've had. It does it's job and is cheap. It's nice to be able to charge my iphone and laptop at the same time.Read Best Reviews of Black & Decker PI100AB Inverter Here
I was planning to buy Car charger for my two cell phones, Ipod, Digital Camera Charger,video camera charger; but cost for each of them was a big factor, then i got to know about black and decker inverter; It solved all of my problem. The price is quite reasonalble.Charges all of the device quite efficiently.
Advise, it has low hissing sound; so if you are listening to soft music with your ipod connected, it might spoil the mood. Incase of Ipod first charge it

Warning, the cooling fan inside this inverter is way too noisy to be used in a car. I can't believe Black & Decker can sell something like this without violating a noise safety level regulation, the fan is entirely too loud and the white noise it generates will slowly drive you crazy. It's especially bad if you have a dashboard where the 12V cigarette lighter is close to the steering wheel or heating/AC vents and not far from your ears, like I do. I used it during a 2 hour road trip and my ears were very unhappy by the end of the trip. No amount of music, road noise, or max fan speed setting on the AC could drown it out.The physical design of the unit is great and the single AC and USB outlets are exactly what I needed. 100W is perfect for laptops, cell phones, and mp3 players, I've had no trouble using any of them with this inverter. I also like the way the neck bends 45 degrees in either direction, that helps get it out of the way somewhat (again, that depends on the placement of the 12V output on your dash).
I guess if your 12V cigarette lighter is near the floorboard this inverter might work for you, but the noise level of the fan is so bad that I would advise everyone to skip this and find something else.

Mini Battery Charger Kit for Nikon EN-EL3a, EN-EL3e Fuji NP-150, Olympus BL-M1, BL-M5, Pentax D-LI5
I recommend it highly.Based on reviews of product I thought this would be a great find. I was REALLY disappointed. Product seemed cheaply made. Tried to recharge two different ENEL3e batteries and neither would take a charge after leaving them plugged in for over 3 hours. I've been using Nikon batteries and charger for over 6years and never had any difficulty with Nikon battery chargers.
I was also disappointed in supplier SF Planet. I requested 1 day shipping and product was sent in soft Priority Mail envelope (rather than a box) which resulted in external product packaging being deformed. Supplier finally sent me return authorization but not after first suggesting an exchange and then asking me to describe what did't work?? After having paid for expedited shipping I chose not to pay to return product--it goes in trash.
Based on the other reviews of this product, perhaps I just got a lemon but based on my personal experience I would not recommend this product or make any future purchases from SF Planet.I bought this based on reviews and price and am pleased so far. I use Nikon and off brand batteries. I haven't seen how long the charge lasts afterwards. But, I think it will be fine. Only the wall piece came. The other pieces pictured were not included.Everything works great it was a good product!!! The pricing was outstanding and worked perfectly with my Nikon D70 camera batteryI had to buy this after i lost the american adapter for my other charger. The plus about this one is that the plug folds away as apposed to unclips. No complaints.

I bought this product thinking that it would be a great replacement for my old Belkin iTrip, which only allowed you to change radio stations when hooked up to a computer. Boy was I wrong. The signal from this thing is so weak that when you're less than three feet from the car antenna, you can still hearing static while songs are playing. Don't waste your money.Read Best Reviews of Griffin iTrip LCD Dock Connector for iPod (Black) Here
I loved the original iTrip from Griffin, and thought I would love this one as well. It is a great product, and is extremely easy to use, however, unlike the original iTrip, you cannot access the clearest channel, which for me was 87.9. The new version only goes down to station 88.1. I did find one channel that plays very nicely, however, and the iTrip fits on my ipod touch perfectly, even with a plastic cover.Want Griffin iTrip LCD Dock Connector for iPod (Black) Discount?
I bought this product, used it twice, and when I tried to play my iPod in my car on the third use, it stopped responding. I've tried looking everywhere for troubleshooting tips and solutions but as far as I can see, I was sent a defective FM transmitter. When it DID work, I had a hard time finding a station and when I finally did, I couldn't move my iPod more than a foot away from the radio. I would not suggest buying this.The product works as described, it allows you to get audio from your iPod/iPhone to the car radio wirelessly via the FM band. It disappoints because it is difficult (especially on the East Coast) to find FM channels that are clear enough to listen without interference. The unit itself is easy to use and understand. Not a bad deal for the price, but beware of the device's limitations.Thursday, January 2, 2014

capacity really matters.

I just love these batteries. Over the years I've always bought other lead acid batteries and have always been disappointed with the life and cold weather performance . I decided to go ahead and spend the extra money on the Optima.

Garmin GPS Nuvi 255w Accessory Bundle - Car Charger + Home Travel AC Charger + USB Data Cable
I returned the AC Charger to Amazon and was told I would get a full refund.
I ordered a new AC Charger directly from Garman. When I received that AC charger I immediately hooked it up to my Garman and it worked perfectly.
I'll most likely deal with Garman directly if I want to obtain any other additions to my new Garman.I want to say at the outset that I have absolutely no complains with either the functioning of my GPS and nor with the accessories bundle. My complaint is with item presentation on Amazon's website. T
There was no explaination on why a newbie to GPS purchasing would even need such items. I, in my ignorance bought the total package. But, I had bought the GPS and the accessory bundle under the false assumption that all items would be shipped together from Amazon. WRONG!!! They are from separate vendors. I paid full shipping on each individual accessory. In one case, a 0.75 connection cord cost me five dollars.
Buyer Beware !!!Was grateful for this package of replacement chargers. Didn't need all three, but it was a good price. And it was posted and arrived quicker than I expected.It came with everything it says. It was well worth the buy. My mom is very happy with it. Everything works properly

CTEK 56-260 Comfort Connect 1/4" Eyelet
The 1/4 rings allow you to install a permanent jack for long term storage or recharging dead batteries on american cars. This is not the version with the red, green, yellow LEDs to indicate charge status on the battery those are higher priced by a few dollars and allow you to read the charge status of the battery by watching which LED flashes.
None of the LED indicator models that I have reviewed (priced higher than the simple jack like this) have american hardware yet, so if you want that feature just cut the xx mm ring off, strip the wire back and crimp on the connector which best fits your fuseblock. The blinking LEDs do not draw much power from the battery due to the brief flash, so you can ignore the power loss.
Ctek continues to expand their input and charger hardware.I have the weathertech branded charger, that apparently is a CTEK charger. The comfort connect is a bit more sturdy than the typical pigtail. The length of this connector is perfect for my Ducati 848. It is hidden just inside the fairing but accessible.

Works great, using one on my wife's Honda 750 Aero and the one that came witht the chareeger on my Honda vtx 1300c. Easy to connect. I tuck mine in behind the side panel on the left side, so its not just hanging down from the bike, then just take the side panel off to plug it in. I may secure with a tie eventually, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Maybe now my batteries won't keep dying!Read Best Reviews of CTEK 56-260 Comfort Connect 1/4" Eyelet Here

Black 8 In 1 FM Transmitter Car Kit with Remote and Car Adapter for ATT Apple...
- iPhone 3GS charger, FM transmitter and holder
- FM transmitter - Car charger - Holder with adjustable clip - LED display for FM channels - Support full stereo music - 2D tuning technology
- Additional 3.5mm stereo adapter to play other MP3 players
- Remote control Support all FM channels
- Power by car cigarette adapter
I bought this 8 in one FM transmitter car charger cradle for iPhone 3gs, Amazon item ASIN B002ECB0Q0.
The cradle holds the phone securely, the charger works fine, the FM transmitter works well, and the remote control works also. If the price wasn't so low, I may have given it fewer stars but this thing is a great value so I forgive its minor quirks. The cradle holds my phone in a good position in my '07 Civic, your vehicle may be different so consider your layout before ordering.
The cradle seems fairly robust, no phone slippage or cradle rotation in the lighter socket so far.
The FM transmitter can be set to any frequency on the dial. I've owned several transmitters and this one is the best. It works even on frequencies that have stations with weak signals on them, this is unusual for consumer FM transmitters. It may be that my unit is a particularly good one but hopefully all of these are good. The FM transmitter can be set to several preset stations and those can be selected with the remote control to avoid interference while traveling, this is a nice feature.
A downside to this unit with an iPhone is that it does not advertise it is shielded from GSM noise to the phone. When you plug it in, the phone says the device is not designed for iPhone and asks if you want airplane mode. If you leave the phone radio on, you will occasionally hear GSM interference on your radio speakers, not very loud though. To avoid that problem altogether, it also has an audio out 3.5mm port and comes with a six or eight inch cable to plug in to your car's aux port. This works fine if your car has one, no GSM noise at all.
Another downside is you have to point the remote at the top of the unit to get it to work, a small annoyance. It does not come with a manual. If you need one, pass this unit up.
For me, so far, so good I like this unit.

Buy 2003-2006 Tahoe Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob w/ Free DIY Programming Instructions Now
I needed a key fob for a Chevy Silverado, and they were more expensive from the same company. I decided to order this one instead and it works correctly and saved me quite a bit of money.Bought this for my 2004 Tahoe to replace the factory one that had died long ago. Shipped quickly (5 days from NJ to FL) and literally took about 45 seconds to program. Works great and appears to be well made. No issues at all on my end so I highly recommend this item. Don't give your hard earned $$$$ to the Chevy dealer.Want 2003-2006 Tahoe Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob w/ Free DIY Programming Instructions Discount?
First of all the fobs arrived super fast. The key fobs are new and the programing was fast and easy. If you buy this from the dealer you will easily pay more than double and you can take it from me because I worked in dealer ships all my life. I had a after market alarm in my truck when I both it and it was starting to malfunction so I decided to give this OEM part a try and I am glad I did. Thank you to the seller and Amazon. UPDATE the batteries in both remote died after one month of use so I contacted the supplier and they would not send replacement batteries. ( UPDATE ) One fob was draining the battery but the company sent me a new one after I returned the old one just remember the warranty is only good for ( 90 days )!!!!!!
