iBOLT xProDock Kit for HTC

Been waiting for this dock ever since I got my DNA... so happy that I can now enjoy it!

Pros:

-VERY sturdy construction. The parts that are plastic are really solid and feel like they will last forever. There are even some metal parts on it (the top spring-clip). I feel like this would survive a bad car crash unscathed (not that I want to find out firsthand)!

-Suction cup well... it sucks! For whatever reason, on most other docks I've used, I have had to clean the windshield and then dampen the suction cup before applying. This one actually worked without me cleaning or getting the cup wet at all.

-Fits many phones, even with thick cases. I would imagine this fitting most of the 4"+ screen phones out there on the market. The USB charging cable it fully adjustable in length, so you could fit it with a phone that has a micro USB port on the end or on the side. Also, the bottom "feet" of the dock move in and out almost an inch (just an estimate), so even those with the really thick hard cases will not have any issues in getting their phone to fit.

-Love the way it is secured in the dock. Instead of having a plastic clip at the top (landscape mode) that flips down on the phone, this has a cushioned, spring loaded "clip" that you simply push up, place your phone in the dock, then let go. It's really easy to put your phone in and take it out, and the clip appears to be made of both metal and really sturdy plastic, so it isn't likely to fail/break on you.

-Extra long cable. Cable is something like 8 feet long. You can put the dock pretty much anywhere you want and you can be sure that the cord will reach. Put it to the left of the steering wheel, put it on the far right (passenger seat), you name it, it will most likely reach.

-Cable management is good. Plenty of little clips on the back of the dock allow you to neatly route the charging cables and/or stereo headphone cable.

The Cons:

-USB Charging cable. For those of you that don't have a USB port/car charger, you are essentially SOL. Though the cable is nice and thick/long, it does not come with a USB to car adapter. I am lucky enough that I have a micro USB car charger with a USB port on it (purchased from Verizon), so my cable fits nicely in it, but those of you without will need to make an additional purchase.

-Dock is somewhat "universal." Though I know there are limitations on the Droid DNA (because of the USB port cover), I would have liked to have seen a more "proprietary" dock port so that you can slide the DNA onto the USB port, which would also hold the phone in better. (For an example of what I am talking about, see the official Car Dock for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.) This dock can likely hold most any phone though, so if you have different phones in your family, it may be of benefit to you.

-Lack of cable ties/clips. Since this cord is so long, it would have been cool if they included some cable ties and/or clips so that you can neatly route and store the cable. This is a minor issue as you can find them cheaply at a local hardware store or Radio Shack.

All in all, I love this dock. I always get a car dock for my smartphones and honestly this is my favorite of all of the ones I have previously owned. I decided not to wait for the Qi (wireless) car dock as I am worried that I will use more power than the Qi dock will be able to effectively charge the phone.

Side note: I just wanted to note that as iBOLT suggested somewhere, I use the "Car Home" Android app instead of the stock HTC car app. It's much more feature rich and customizable and this dock will activate that app.

This is exactly what is advertised. The device works with my HTC One, now the older One, from T-Mobile. The Start-up feature is great, literally plug and play when you get in the car. Great quality, everything fits as designed, solid.

I bought this just after picking up my HTC Droid DNA. The iBOLT xProDock holds my DNA in place perfectly! I used to experience a terrible 'bounce' with past mounts, as well as poor suctioning to the windshield that would eventually crash on to the dashboard. This product is very sturdy, has great aesthetics, and has excellent grip to hold my DNA and any other mid-to-large size smartphone in place. I've recommended it to a few friends and family members. Great buy!

Viper 474V 4-Button Remote

Works perfectly with my system although the instructions are needlessly complex and I couldn't get it to work with their instructions so I looked it up on the web. I will leave the instructions here so that you don't have to go through the aggravation I did to make it work. (or have a local alarm/stereo shop quote you a price of $55 per remote to program them because it supposedly takes an hour and a half per remote)

1. Open the drivers door

2. Turn key 2 clicks to the on position but do not start the car.

3. Under the dash locate the valet switch and press it one time

4. Press and hold it again until the alarm makes noise

5. While holding the valet button press the lock or unlock button on the remote

6. Turn the key off and test the remote.

7. Repeat for any additional remotes you need programmed.

This whole process took me less than a minute to program both my new remotes following these instructions and I am not a tech person

Excellent replacement if you want a 4-button remote for the Viper 350HV system. Does not list the 350HV system as compatible, but programmed fine. Even setup to use progressive door unlocking!

I had the "older" style FOB and it was relatively bigger than this newer style. I like the smaller and more compact version a lot better. I reprogrammed this on a relatively older alarm system that I bought in 2002 (Viper 500ESP). The instructions on how to program were pretty easy to understand. I had a small problem because my valet switch had broken off due to the installer putting it right by the clutch pedal. Fixed that with a new switch. Then I had a problem with the system not recognizing my door being open due to installer not hooking up the door sensor. Fixed that too and was easily able to reprogram key FOB.

I bought a new 2010 Titan and while closing the deal I find out the XE didn't come with an alarm or keyless entry (unbelievable). The dealer kicked me down a $200 check towards an alarm to keep the deal together. Paranoid about not having an alarm I had Best Buy install a 350HV alarm with keyless entry the next day. It was the cheapest quickest alarm I could get at around $275 installed. Once I got home I realized the remote was a three button with lock/unlock as one button which sucked. I sometimes check my locks from in the house or across the parking lot when around town and remembering one beep or two just doesn't cut it. I searched and searched for a four button alternative (separate lock/unlock) and ran across Damon's review here on Amazon saying this would work with my system. Ordered it on Weds 3/31 had it on Mon 4/5. Following the directions it took a couple of minutes to set up and viola a four button remote that works perfect on my 350HV. I am now ordering a second for my wife. Awesome product, awesome service at a fair price.

Swiss+Tech BGCS81 BodyGard Survivor Self-Powered Radio with Emergency Hammer, Seatbelt Cutter.

Swiss+tech crank Flashlight Test Results

It's not heavy, but is big: 9.5" tall and 2" thick at the top part. Will take up some space to store.

Used stopwatch to time this.

1. After full discharge 1 minute crank

Flashlight: About 4 minutes, lost 70-80% intensity, in 5 minutes full discharge. Good enough (compared to other such flashlights which do far worse), so I find this reliable.

Is useful in many ways: for checking engine, tires, power failure at home etc

2. After full discharge 1 minute crank

Emergency red beacon (blink/siren) (without siren as volume was kept on zero)

At about 28 minutes, started loosing intensity. At 41 minutes, quite dim, 46 mnts really low, 49 mnts still blinking but really low not usable. So I'll stop here.

3. After full discharge 1 minute crank

Radio volume at mid level, good until 9 minutes, then volume goes down and in a few minutes stops.

This I think is a unique device, with siren, beacon, flashlight, radio, hammer, seat belt cutter.....

I find this reliable and will keep in my center console in my car where I can blindly reach it in case of emergency.

I wanted a car-escape tool that also had a flashlight and a dynamo crank to recharge it. This was one of three I found and I went with this one because it looks flatter and easier to store. The radio is a nice addition so it can double as a disaster situation news source. I also really like that the rechargeable batteries are removable AA batteries so if you already have other methods to recharge the same type of batteries, you can recharge them with other rechargers and then put them in this tool. It can go the other way too, if you feel like cranking for two hours, you can fully recharge two AA rechargeable batteries for other electronics :). There's an optional AC adapter you can buy and connect to this tool to recharge the batteries that way or run the lights/radio off AC power. I couldn't find the adapter online for sale so probably have to call swiss+tech for it. Everything that I tested works. I didn't test the hammer on any windows but it looks solid. I didn't test the seat belt cutter on anything other than paper so not sure how sharp it is. I didn't test if backup batteries would work.

Minus 1 star for the dynamo causing lots of static/interference on AM radio, so you can't crank while you listen to AM radio. But FM radio, lights, sirens work while cranking. Also it is 10 inches long, which is bigger than I expected but it still fits in the center console of my '98 Accord. But that's more of a mark against the seller/Amazon for lack of information on its dimensions.

For the money this is a nice tool to keep by my driver's seat for emergencies. I bought one for each car because the price was good. Admittedly, it doesn't do any one function like a dedicated tool (radio, flashlight, etc), but it does everything well enough for me to be confident using it stranded on the side of the road. The fact that the hand-crank is easy enough for my three year old to operate and powers everything sufficiently, is fantastic. Now I occupy her attention in a stressful situation.

I only wish the flashlight was a bit brighter and that it received NOAA weather channels. But if any event occurs big enough to be on NOAA here in Hawaii, I'm sure the public FM/AM channels will be reporting as well.

I purchased four of these units as presents for relatives. First, I was forewarned by other reviewers about the large size of these devices. I still didn't expect them to be quite as large as they were. The window breaker is something that needs to be kept immediately to hand, and frankly, I'm not sure where in an average car these devices could be stored and still be to hand in an emergency. But that isn't why I returned them.

On opening one of the packages and testing the device, I found that the radio did not work at all. This was not a battery problem. I had put in a set of fully charged Eneloop batteries. Finally, fiddling with the volume control intermittently caused the device to emit distorted audio. Obviously, the volume control potentiometer was faulty. Next I tested the flashlight, about which the most charitable thing I can say is that it is slightly brighter than a glowworm.

Overall, the build quality was very low. I have lived in Switzerland and can say that, based on personal experience, the Swiss are absolutely superb at anything to which they aspire to excel. I commend the sense of humor and irony that caused the manufacturers of this device to call themselves Swiss+Tech. Nevertheless I returned all four of these enormous, impractical and defective devices.

Love Jensen, I had the older model so it was time to upgrade. I love the two usb slots one in front and one in back. I just pop in my 16gb flash drive and I'm ready to go with music and movies on one drive. Don't even really need to use cd's or dvd's anymore. Only downside is that I can't rewind or fast forward tracks or video files. Over all great product for a great price. I also push 4 twelve inch sub-woofers in my trunk and the Jensen gives me no problems or skipping whatsoever.

My daughter loved this radio. We did not realize she could play videos with it. Did you know that it has to be connected to the parking break so she cannot drive her truck and watch a video at the same time.

I do recommend some rechargable batteries for the dock though. The thing sounds well enough but it does a number on batteries. I'm just guessing but maybe 20hrs of play time out of a set of 4.

• 3-in-1 easy installation - main control unit, start module and antenna in one module
• Keyless entry
• Auto-detect neutral position of manual car
• Remote controlling start mode/Timing start mode/Temperature start mode

Upon receiving this unit, it was readily obvious that you have to have allot of technical knowledge in order to install this unit.

It didn't have any manual of any kind included with the unit, and trying to obtain one proved to be are real effort.

When the installation/owner's manual were finally received, it was quite obvious that installation of this product is far too complicated for the average person.

I returned this unit for that very reason.

so i was in contact with them about 3 times , asking details on the product and questions about delivery . Up there is a great lady , her name is Helen , and every time i wrote , i received an answer from her in the same day ...not to say in the next few hour .

She told me to not worry , that my order will be delivered to me in the next 3 to 4 days via DHL....and it was .

I do recommand this company to any one . realy ; great service, very efficient .

Spal Magsafe 85w Car Adapter Charger for Macbook Pro 15" 17" Notebook,with Extra Usb Slot to Charge

As an Amateur (Ham) Radio (K6OL) and Navy MARS (NNN0BJB) Operator, this car charger for my MacBook Pro is a "MUST HAVE." Now I don't have to worry about where the nearest power source will be at the end of my 10 hour battery life on my MacBook Pro. Now I'm able to use my MacBook Pro 'in the field' as long as I need. Once I plugged it in, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that there were NO power surges, or a noticeable drain (however sight) on the internal battery after it was plugged into my vehicle's power source.

Secondly, I was impressed that the order was processed and shipped promptly. I was even more pleasantly surprised to receive the package TWO days sooner than what I was initially informed by the automated system @ Amazon.com.

Frankly, I'm a bit perplexed when I recall my numerous conversations I've had with the Tech Support 'geeks' at APPLE and the APPLE STORE, and Best Buy. Not one person (including supervisors) knew anything about any product that would allow me to operate my MacBook from a 12 v power source OTHER than a 12 VDC to 110 VAC converter which is not only dangerous (fire hazard) but a complete waste of power.

Yes, this was my first order from Amazon. NO, I do not work for them nor was paid or had any incentives offered for my review.

I look forward to ordering through this venue again and hope I have the same experience.

Merry Christmas folks!

Ed

I wasn't sure if it really would work with my MacBook Pro but it fits perfect and charges the battery.

12-Volt Heated Ice Scraper & Melter - Non-Scratch - 14-Ft Cord

Although the concept is awesome, the follow-up operation fails to meet expectations in a dramatic way. Not only does the unit not heat up enough to start the melting process of the accumulated ice/frost, the scraping end itself is not durable enough to clear the windows.

We live in north central Alabama, so cold mornings are nothing new to us. It is not uncommon for us to have to scrape the windows every morning, sometimes removing a thin layer of frost, other times having to deal with a fairly thick layer. I found that this product wasn't helpful in either instance.

In the time that it takes the element to heat up enough to be remotely effective, your car defroster has had ample time to start clearing the windows from the inside.

I tried timing the heating element, giving it 1, 3, 5 then 7 minutes to heat up prior to attempting to use it, to no avail.

The vendor that I purchased it from issued me a prompt refund, in full. I was very pleased with their service & would eagerly shop with them again.

This is my second unit ( shut the last one in the car door then ran it over! The heat element still worked but toasted scraper shell,! This works good with or without heat turned on. I preheat before scraping. Wish I could say can't wait to use this product but not a fan of hot weather or cold

Lol.

Anyways good solid unit

The scraper broke within a week of buying it when i was trying to scrape a light layer of ice from my windshield. The heating element works nicely but the plastic used on this item is FAR too weak and brittle to be of any use in an actual winter environment. Picked up a pair for my wife and I and it was an absolute waste of ~25 bucks. After this hunk of junk made me late for work (had to use plastic shards to scrape my windows) I bought a very durable $3 scraper from a department store and it does a far better job (and even has a brush attached).
