Bought this colour because I plan to get yellow seat and caliper covers for my car, and thought why not? Make it match! Setup takes less than thirty seconds and is incredibly easy. This also makes my keys easier to spot when I'm looking around for them! The buttons don't feel the same as the factory one, but they're still easy to hit (just a little weird getting used to at first). My favourite part is that I finally have a trunk button that the dealership gypped me out of! For an amazing price! (Don't ever think you have to pay $60 and up for a clicker!) For someone that's in the janitorial business and is constantly taking supplies in and out of the car, this is perfect!

Our other one didn't work properly so bought two to match the car. 12 year old grandson wanted to program it and he did on second try. Fantastic.

I have a yellow mustang so the yellow key fob makes sense to me. Super easy to program (did two in under 1-minute). Has been in daily use for over 2-months now and looks and works great.

This key fob matches the Mustang, but doesn't work so hot. You have to push the button several times to get the doors to lock or unlock. The battery has been changed and it makes no difference. So, if you don't mind some aggravation locking and unlocking your doors, it's perfect. Also the range is short....actually, it's non-existant. But, on the upside, it does look nice.

Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi Boombox

Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi BoomboxAs others have noted:

PROS:

Decent sound, long antenna cord (20'), compact design, clean aesthetics.

CONS:

Flimsy volume control, antenna can't be attached without removing the battery compartment cover, and VERY ANNOYING high pitched hum that makes you think you're listening to AM radio. Unless you are willing to put up with this and need the portability, you're better off buying a home adpater and running the receiver through your home audio setup.

I bought my first XM 3-4 months ago and love it. I enjoy having the cable news at my finger tips and endless static free music where ever I go. The first thing I noticed was that all the chatter from the local radio adds and DJs was gone. Ahhh! what a relief. My only frustration was that I couldn't take this format with me; my old boombox was burdened with the same old adds and limited format. I'm thrilled Delphi has brought this out; I the tunner, car kit and boom box yesterday. My Sony, though very good is going to ebay. I've traded up.

Delphi has solved the problem with a product that is very well engineered. The sound of this boom box is very full. The tunner is great; love the all the display info and options. The satellite antenna wire stores inside the base (in case you don't need to run it to a window .. which I haven't had to do yet .. maybe when we go out of town).

I'm very pleased.

Buy Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi Boombox Now

Delphi must have made an attempt to improve this model. Neither unit I bought had the high-pitched noise described by previous Amazon reviewers. But both units I received do have an AC hum when using the power adapter, and both have another noise -a repetitive, low-level clicking sound.

The noise isn't noticeable if the volume level is set above 6 or so, and if the boombox is placed a few feet from you. But if you listen at low volume with the unit close by, you might find the incessant click-click-click quite annoying. Classical music fans may find this unit completely unacceptable. At low volume during the quieter passages of classical music (XM channels 110, 112, and 113), the clicking sound actually breaks up the audio.

I unplugged all wireless devices in the house (they supposedly can cause interference with satellite radios), but that didn't solve the problem, even with the units placed well apart in different parts of the house. I suspect the clicking has more to do with the refreshing of the SkyFi 2 receiver's digital display than it does any external interference -it does appear synchronized with the scrolling display when you have it set to scroll.

I understand the SkyFi 2 receiver is not to blame, and that the receiver works well with other home or car audio kits. So, apparently, it's the Delphi boombox.

And there's another overall audio weakness in the product. In spite of the sales talk about the beefy, dual-cone speakers, the units sound like cheapo drugstore boomboxes. Actually, they sound less like boomboxes and more like "woof" boxes. Besides bass being practically nonexistent, harmonics in the plastic cases (sometimes called "case resonance") create a lot of cheap-sounding, mid-range woofiness. That has the unfortunate effect of rendering some talk programming -especially vintage recordings on the old-time radio channel and the comedy channel -almost unintelligible in places.

(I did manage to improve this problem a little on one of our units by removing the pop-off speaker grille covers, and by lining the boombox's interior with peel-and-stick felt to deaden the woofy harmonics. I don't recommend anyone try this. Besides possibly voiding the warranty, there are electronic components inside that could cause a nasty shock or could easily be damaged, and there is a heat sink inside that felt must be kept well away from or smoke or fire may result.)

If this is the only experience you have with satellite radio, you'll go away thinking it sounds little or no better than local AM radio. But -unless you're a classical music listener -it's not completely bad. Just wait for some heavy discounting before buying one, and make sure that you're willing to put up with some noisiness, and audio quality that's a little cheap-sounding.

For the money -especially the MSRP the unit originally sold for -it should have been better.

Boombox is nice, light weight, easy to move around. We got an antenna error and discovered (after much frustration and no help from Delphi or other merchants) that you must have the batteries in the unit even when using the plug for power. This eliminated our antenna error. But once that problem was solved, we love the unit!

Want Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi Boombox Discount?

This thing is a HUGE dissapointment. There is an awful high pitched tone that you can hear behind the music. The only way to avoid it is to turn up the music so loud that it drowns the buzz out. If you listen to classical or jazz forget about this boombox. If you don't like listening to your music super loud forget about this boombox. It will drive you crazy. Listening to talk on this is awful. The buzzing will drive you crazy. It is like listening to a distant am station. I can't believe this thing is being sold on the market. It needs to be recalled and the problem needs to be fixed. Many people have had problems with this box and Delphi refuses to acknowledge the problem even though they know about it and have received many complaints. Don't buy this boombox. It is a waste of time and money.

Samsung?Rugby II A847 Combo Rapid Car Charger + Home Wall Charger + USB Data...

Samsung?Rugby II A847 Combo Rapid Car Charger + Home Wall Charger + USB Data...I recently got my mom the Samsung Rugby II with AT&T. I got this charger set for her for Christmas and she is thrilled to have the extra chargers around. They are a great price, and she says they charge the phone just fine. Maybe they won't last as long as the OEM charger because of how cheap they are(who knows), but they are working just fine now. It will be especially nice to use the USB data cable to get some decent ringtones and backgrounds onto her phone. The Rugby II comes without much, so the data cable will be very helpful in sprucing it up. Very happy with the purchase.

When I got the Rugby II, I got this stuff and am very glad I did.What can I say it arrived in a timely manner and has worked flawlessly at a very good price.

Couldn't be happier. AT&T wanted 30 bucks for a car charger alone. It may bave been a little better quality, who knows... it's was made in China too, and $2.00 for a wall charger, car charger and UBS cable was just about what I figure any trio of products made in China is worth; including an HP computer, an iPhone and a Hugo Boss shirt.

So... a great deal, and fairly priced.

Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Center Hump Floor Mat (Grey)

Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Center Hump Floor MatThick and durable. They do repel water and snow debris. The fit was as described and just a good product. I am pleased.

I ordered the Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Front Floor Mats and Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Center Hump Floor Mat. They fit great and look awesome.

You can cut off excess by following the lines, but I left it intact. The center mat goes under the floor mats and by buying both, my entire front carpet is covered. Which is a good thing because the floor of my Suburban is pretty stained up.

They are super heavy duty. I can get in my Suburban now with muddy waders after duck hunting and it's no big deal. Just take them out and hose them off when I get home.

I thought this was an over the hump floor mat, and instead there is one for each side. They seem quite good, the last ones I had wore out in about six months. These seem better and if they aren't, I will report back at that time.

Want Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Center Hump Floor Mat (Grey) Discount?

This is NOT custom fitted for my vehicle. It is a fairly generic 'trim to fit' floor mat that doesn't fit any better than cheap, generic mats. It does appear to be fairly heavy-duty, but I'm unhappy with the implication that it was made specifically for my vehicle.

MLB St. Louis Cardinals Power Decal

MLB St. Louis Cardinals Power DecalGiven the price, I really didn't think this would be a very good product, but my Dad loves the Cardinals and I was running out of new things to get him related to the team, so I went a head and ordered this. I was pleasantly surprised. It appears to be made of sturdy plastic and it's motion sensitive so it doesn't waste energy. Best of all, it lights up very, very brightly. I didn't think it would be nearly so nice. Of course, it hasn't been used long so I can't attest to the longevity, but so far it seems well worth the money.

I bought this and an Illinois Fighting Illini one for Christmas presents. They are easy to install and look great going down the road. They only come on when it's dark and the car is moving, then shut off after a couple of minutes when the car is still. They would make a great gift for anyone.

ARB 10800472 Fridge Freezer- 50 Quart

ARB 10800472 Fridge Freezer- 50 QuartWe drive to and from a vacation house which we rent every year, a round trip of approximately 2000 miles. This involves travel where the temperatures can be over 90 degrees and which involves overnight motel stays on our way there and home. For the past few years we have packed our food (both for the trip and staples for our vacation) in our car, which is an added advantage of driving, which we much prefer, to flying. We have kept our refrigerated items in a 12 volt car refrigerator which we bought from the manufacturer of my wife's car as an relatively inexpensive option, and supplemented that with a cooler with ice packs. While that system kept the food cool, it was less than ideal for several reasons. First, we could not bring frozen items, since they would not stay frozen given the air temperature, the cooling abilty of the unit, and the length of the trip.Second, the battery draw was great enough that we could not keep the refigerator running during our overnight stays, thus the interior temperature of the unit would gradually rise and it only gradually cooled the interior when restarted. Third, it took a long time to cool items if we did not refigerate them first. Fourth, the seal was not very tight and the exterior insulation relatively thin. Fifth, it was only on or off, there was no temperature control. We also used the unit for other shorter trips or for transporting frozen foods from the grocery store during the summer, but these deficiencies were not problems in those circumstances.

That unit failed last winter after five years of use, and I decided to research the available options before our vacation last month. I only now wish that i had done that years ago. The refrigerator which we had had a thermoelectric cooling unit, certainly better than a cooler using ice packs but not capable of acting as a true freezer and most importantly having the disadvantage that i mentioned of a considerable power draw. This unit (and a few other brands as well) has a compressor and is a true refrigerator freezer. In addition to the power buton it has easily accessible controls (and a visible thermometer) on the front of the unit to change the temperature setting and also set the maximum battery drawdown allowable before the unit will shut off if you are not running your automobile engine. It has a lid that is both easily removed and reattached, and a 50 quart storage area with a basket and divider that allows the compartment to be subdivided into two or three sections. This is epecially convenient for separting things such as produce, dairy and fruit from other refrigerated items. The unit is completely CFC free, and the cabinet is coated zinc steel. There is also a 120-240 volt cord, so the unit can also be used in a home, cabin, garage or anywhere with electrical power. It does not evenm have to be emptied or restocked or can be used as supplemental refrigerator freezer for overflow (or beer or soda storage during picnics and parties) at any time.

The exterior dimensions are H20", W15"" and D27.8".The interior dimensions of the main compartment with the basket not divided are are H15.8", W11.2" and D13.3''.The adjacent small area over the compressor is H8.1", W11.2" and D6". Remember that you will also need to allow sufficient clearance around the unit for the air vents to have proper circulation, you cannot put it in a tight enclosed area or right next to a wall..

You can also purchase an optional transit bag to keep the exterior scratch free or a tie down system if you plan to use it in offroad travel or boating, but we did not consider these necessary so I cannot review them

After a lot of research and reading reviews on several different sites, I decided that it was worth the much higher expense of buying a true refigerator frezzer with a compressor rather than a thermoelectric cooler. A 50 quart unit seemed adequate for personal needs, and units approximately that size seem to be the most popular among casual users who use them for personal trips. I decided to buy the ARB unit, which was neither the cheapest or most expensive. ARB is the largest Australian manufactucter and distributor of 4X4 accessories, and this was originally designed for use in the rugged (and hot) Australian outback. It had gotten excellent reviews and I liked the design, the capabilties and the ease of use of the controls. Amazon had a very opmpetitive price and free shiiping with two day delivery, which guaranteed that it would arrive in sufficient time before our trip so that I could test it for a few days to make sure that it functioned properly.

We used it during our sixteen day trip which totaled over 2300 miles and it performed flawlessly. The unit cooled to the indicated temperature rapidly. It kept our food cold, it kept our drinks cold and even kept the remainder of our subs fresh when we stopped to eat on the road. The power draw was low enough so that the unit did not warm up during our overnight stays. It has also been a real benefit to use it recently to transport our refrigerated and frozen food to our home from the warehouse club about 25 miles away.

My wife still considers it an expensive toy, but agrees that it worked exceptionally well and made our trip simpler and more enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Tucker Andersen 5/22/2011

This fridge/freezer is amazing. I live in hot east texas and drive a black truck with black interior. I keep this fridge set on 33 degrees farenhiet. I always have cold food and drinks. If I don't start my truck for 3 days, the fridge will automatically shut off. I have the cut off voltage on the fridge set to the middle position (can't remember the exact voltage). Even if the fridge has shut off, it leaves plenty of juice for my truck to start. This was in the dead of summer when my inside truck temps probably exceeded 140 degrees or more, so I'm sure the fridge was running a lot. I drive around 10,000 miles a month, so my truck doesn't normally sit for 3 days without being started. I love being able to keep meat, leftovers, or whatever in this fridge without having to buy ice, or worry about everything being water logged. I think this fridge should pay for itself in no time. I buy cases of ozarka water to keep in the fridge and this saves me about a dollar every time I grab one ot of the fridge instead of stopping at a convenience store. Not to mention the money I save on power aid, gatorade, and food. I am absolutely impressed with this fridge!

Follow up: 12-5-11

This Fridge continues to perform flawlessly! Not cheap, but one of the best purchases I've ever made!

Buy ARB 10800472 Fridge Freezer- 50 Quart Now

I drive a delivery truck in the Texas heat, and this fridge is the best investment I have ever made. I can't tell you how much money I have saved by not stopping for food and drinks. Even if I wasn't saving money, I would probably still buy one. It is so convenient to be able to reach behind the seat and grab a cold drink. I don't have to worry about ice or loading it in the morning. I just refill the fridge once a week, and I am set.

As a test, I put the fridge in my car to see how long it would last before it shutoff due to low battery voltage. After five days, it was still going strong, but I had to end the test because I needed to drive my car. My point is that I have no worries about leaving it running for long periods of time.

When I bought the fridge, I was a little concerned about how well it would cool in a hot car. It does amazingly well. My car gets up to over 150 degrees when it is sitting in the hot sun, but the fridge stays at the preset 33 degrees all day long.

There are several manufacturers of these 12 volt fridges, and I did a lot of research before I purchased the ARB unit. It is a very well designed fridge, with the removable lid, easy to use controls, and low power usage. My only complaint is the price, but Amazon has the lowest price I've found.

I have owned the ARB Fridge/Freezer for about a year now and it is awesome! I've taken it on several campouts where I powered it only with a deep cycle battery and a solar charger. This unit quickly gets down to the temperature you select and stays there. I also take this fridge once a month to the closest military base where I load up on groceries at the commissary. The base is about an hour away and I usually make other stops along the way. No need to hustle home to keep the ice cream from melting! Everything on this unit is built rugged. The motor is whisper quiet and it will not run down your battery. The removable lid is excellent for use in SUV's where it can be difficult to open a cooler lid all the way. Cleanup is a breeze, just rinse the inside, pull the drain plug and let it air dry. It's nice going camping and not having to go back into town to buy ice, having ice/water sloshing around in a cooler, or having to deal with soggy groceries. The ARB Fridge/Freezer is an esential part of my vehicle camping gear.

For Christmas my husband wanted a fridge for his 1965 FJ-45 shortbed pickup. I know that he likes ARB products, so I bought him the ARB fridge freezer. He was a very "happy camper". In fact, we have taken the fridge with us on several business trips (one to Phoenix where you really need the cold to keep anything from spoiling). We were able to pack a couple of growlers of beer, six pack of sodas, water, meat, cheese, vegetables and fruit (without them freezing in the special compartment). We didn't have to spend nearly as much at restaurants, our items didn't get wet (like they did in an ice chest) and were able to be comfortable on the long trips. It opens and closes easily and doesn't take up any more room than our cooler that we used to carry. All-in-all we are both very pleased.

Power Wheels 00801-1778 Charger, 12 Volt

Power Wheels 00801-1778 Charger, 12 VoltWe received our Power Wheels as a hand-me-down. The original owners lost the charger so I came to Amazon to replace it. When the charger arrived, I originally thought it did not match the battery that Amazon says it should go to (the grey battery with a three section opening). Eventually I realized that the connector from the actual Jeep to the battery and the connector from the charger to the battery do not look alike (at all) but both work. When this charger is inserted into the center portion of the grey battery opening, it will work perfectly. It took me about a month to realize that because I thought the connector should fill all three holes instead of just the one. Once I figured that out, we were golden. My kids love this toy now.

I had to come back and edit my original review where I indicated they don't match. I can't seem to edit my star rating but I now think it's a 5 star item and I would recommend this charger.

This charger works fine and as expected. The only confusion I had was the connector. It doesn't look like the connector on the battery but it plugs in and works fine. The battery has 4 pins but the charger has only two so I thought it was the wrong one. I called the very helpful customer service dept at Fisher Price and was told it is correct.

Just plug it in to the two pins in the middle. It works fine.

Kicker 09ZCK44 Z-Series 4AWG Amplifier Kit with 4-Channel Interconnects ROHS Compliant

Kicker 09ZCK44 Z-Series 4AWG Amplifier Kit with 4-Channel Interconnects ROHS Compliant
  • Complete kits with Direct-Control components
  • Comes with Signal cables and 16 AWG Super Twist Speaker Wire

If you've been shopping around for a quality amp wiring kit, you probably know there are a lot of imitators out there. By that I mean companies selling "4-gauge" wire that really isn't 4 gauge.

This Kicker kit is the real deal. True 4 awg power/ground cables, true 16 awg speaker wires, and high quality RCAs. The cables are all OFC and super flexible I'm holding the ground cable in my hand now and can easily bend it 180 degrees in a 1 inch radius.

As is typical with Amazon, the item description is a bit lacking here's what you get:

20' of blue 4 awg power cable with a ring terminal and about 3' of tech flex installed on one end.

3' of grey 4 awg ground cable with a ring terminal installed on one end.

20' of grey 18 awg wire for the remote turn on.

16' of 4 channel twisted pair RCA cable.

60' of 16 awg blue/grey speaker wire.

An inline fuse holder with a 100A AFS fuse.

A firewall grommet (not the greatest available, but will do the job)

An assortment of cable ties, spade terminals, and disconnects.

Overall it's a high quality kit with just about everything you need to install an amp and upgrade your car's audio system. I spent who know how many hours looking at different brands and comparing products and 3 companies aways stood out Monster, Rockford Fosgate, and Kicker.

This Kicker kit gives you a ton of value for your dollar, even at the average price found on other websites--but this deal here on Amazon is a steal.

I actually needed two more channels, so I picked up another set of RCA's and one extra spool of speaker wire, but armed with this I had all components needed to do a complete install of one sub, 2 6x9's, and set of satellites for my Accord. Worth the price and I had piece of mind knowing that Kicker provided true 4 AWG wire. The kit was complete and I had the help of my brother and one other friend (none of us being mechanics) we were able to do a complete install in 2 days. There was no need to worry about having to run to the store and get something else. If you've ever worked on your house or car, then you know what that's like to realize you forgot something or need extra parts.

The power inverter works great. I used it on a 5000 mile road trip powering a PS3 and iPhone and another cell phone along the way, in addition to other small electronics. To get the most power out of the unit, you need to hard wire it directly to the battery. I mounted it under the passenger seat and ran some 8 gauge wire. Very easy installation. I looked at several inverters before purchasing this one. The usb connection was what sold me on the unit. I now have an easy way to charge my iPhone without having to buy a car charger or taking up one of the regular power outlet slots. Well worth the money. The only thing to note for Amazon is that the product listing advertises that it comes with a carry case. It does not. No problem for me because I don't really care, but it may matter to you. I believe the CPI 475 does include the case.

I has been on ever since I put it in my semi. I have a laptop, a printer, and four chargers for cordless devices hooked to it on a power strip. The fan will come on if I'm watching a movie on the laptop but that is the only time I have ever heard the fan come on. It is exposed to temps from below 0 to 80+ and hasn't complained yet.

Power ratings are grossly over-stated. I have owned this product for about 1 year. It has worked great for powering my laptop while in the car. I have not been able to get it to supply power any greater than 100W without it shutting off however. With the inverter connected directly to clean battery terminals with the included battery clamps, vehicle running (14+ volts at clamps), I have unsuccessfully tried powering two different TV's rated at 140W. In both instances the inverter shut off when the TV's where powered on. I next tried turning on a 150W halogen flood lamp. The inverter shut down before the lamp lit. This inverter is rated at 400W RMS/800W peak. It should be able to supply these loads without any issues. Keep in mind I tried these loads with the inverter connected directly to my (dual) truck battery, engine running. The test where run on multiple occasions. There was no lack of supply current/voltage.

Upgraded from 1 to 3 stars: I have since "hardwired" the inverter to my vehicle battery with an Anderson Power Pole 50amp connector in between. With this configuration I have been able to get a full 400 watts realiabley from it. I have been running this setup for about 2 years now. I use it about an hour continous once a month.

I just received my Cobra CPI 480 400-Watt unit today.

The lighter cable option allows taking this unit in a different vehicle. My unit came with both lighter plug and jumper cable type power connectors. The lighter plug has a 15A fuse in the tip, limiting output to a continuous 165W (hence the 150W mentioned in the manual). Higher power levels will require direct connection to the battery terminals, or the fuse will blow.

The lighter plug, as noted in other reviews has trouble staying electrically connected in my Cadillac Seville lighter socket, but doesn't fall out. The rear passenger lighter sockets have the same mechanical connection issue.

[The following comments were made from a unit sent back for repair. Addendum comments made against a new unit are at the bottom of this review, and new scope image replaces the old one in customer images.]

With the unit connected to a car battery with the engine running for high power checking, a Hoover 110V hand vacuum runs just fine. I grabbed a 500W halogen contractors light to see what happens on overload. The lamp starts to light and about 200mS later (~1/5 sec) the units starts shrieking and turns off output. [This behavior changed in the new unit (below) which now powers the 500W lamp for a minute] This unit does not recover from this condition automatically. The front panel switch must be turned off, then back on for the unit to recover. This also implies that any motor load with high startup currents has to be substantially started in 200mS or the overload condition will trip on this inverter. 200mS is short, most motor type equipment can take 500mS-1Second to start, which means many motor driven appliances may not work well with this inverter. Think about how long your lights "dim" when your freezer starts. If it's longer than the tiniest of "flickers", then it's probably longer than 200mS.

Since my use is to recharge two electric bike batteries from 120VAC and my cell phone from USB and each bike charger draws 170W peak @ 120VAC during the charge cycle (340W peak for two), this unit should meet my needs.

The battery direct connect cables are about 2.5 feet long and made of 12AWG wire. Something heavier (6 or 4AWG or two parallel sets of 10AWG) should get me from my battery under the hood past the firewall and into the car with little enough voltage drop to get that 400W capability without burning up 20A lighter fuses or having so much voltage drop due to wiring that the unit shuts off with a low voltage sensing error.

A nice addition is a contractors "pig tail" [8" extension cord and three plugs] to extend the 110V outlets for wall-wart type chargers. Target also has 8-inch "adapter cords" to extend the outlets if you have something physically large to plug-in (Amazon solution:Power Extension Cord, Perfect for Transformers, 1 ft). If I have a lot of wall-wart type chargers (up to 6). GE has a nice widely spaced 6-outlet solution meant to physically cover a wall outlet GE 50759 6-Grounded Outlet In-Wall Adapter, White. This plugs into the pig-tail which plugs into the inverter for running a pile of low power chargers (like cell phones, kids game-boys, camera battery, and a laptop).

I put the CPI480 on the bench to answer a few more basic questions about this unit. See my uploaded "Modified Sinewave" scope photo of CPI 480 output under "customer images".

First, when the power switch is first turned on, the fan runs for 14 seconds, then turns off. This concerned me after reading several reviews saying their fan stays off. [The new unit doesn't do this]

Will the 5V USB output stay on even when the switch is off? In fact the 5VDC output turns off with the front power switch as does the 110VAC. This unit draws no power when the front switch is off, so it doesn't need to be physically disconnected from the battery.

During startup (turn the front power switch on) at 13.5 VDC input with fan running, my unit draws 800mA (0.8A). After the fan turns off, my unit settles down to 650mA (0.65A) for "standby", not running anything. The box says

The recepticle on the TomTom XXL is receded, and the housing around this connection is too bulky to fit up into that area and make a connection, so this is useless, even though it states that it will work for my 5" TomTom model.

UpdateI used a grinder (you could use a razor blade knife) and I shaved the excess rubber surrounding the connector, and this allowed it to fit securely up into the receptacle. I then plugged it into my car to verify that it was charging the unit, and it was. But still, you shouldn't have to do this when you're told that it is made to fit your particular GPS.

Remote Car Key Shell for Select VW Vehicles

Remote Car Key Shell for Select VW Vehicles
  • 4 Buttons: lock unlock trunk and panic
  • Each item have been tested before ship.Produced by high quality material and meticulously crafted.
  • This is just a key cover shell, there is no interior(remote/electronics/transponder chips) inside
  • Size: 43mm(L) x 9mm(W)
  • This product is not an original product,before buying please note

The key ring attachment on my old fob finally broke after several repair attempts. The fob was also very worn and the cover for the panic button was missing. I ordered this fob after reading the reviews. I got it in a couple of days and went to work. I watched a couple of different videos on youtube. It was simple and easy. I even moved my old key to the new fob rather than get the key blank cut. Had to work on getting the spring in correctly and tighten it to get that nice click when releasing the key.

If you move your key to the new fob, don't forget the RFID chip as well. It is in the bottom part of the fob where the key is attached. It is about the size of a long grain of rice. Mine wasn't glued in and easily came out. It helps to do your work in a well lit area.

Now I've got a brand new key for my 2003 Jetta. I'm going to order another fob for my other key then it's new headlights!

Overall excellent and cheap way to 'overhaul' my beloved VW GTI's battle worn key fob. Loved the fact that the package included a new VW sticker. Class act!

Two very important things to remember. First you MUST remember to remove the tiny RFID chip from the plastic case from the OLD key. You forget this step and your car's Imobilizer will not let you crank the engine. Google and you will see what I am talking about, where the chip is located and what it looks like. I learned the hard way. It's the size of a large rice grain. Second, the new keyfob plastics do not have a tiny gasket to seal prevent moisture entering the tiny motherboard of the remote unlock feature. So careful of the water, or if you're crafty, remove the gasket from the old key and (try) to transpose it to the new one. easier said than done. i failed on that front. Oh last but not least, assuming you want to re-use the cut key from your old key fob you need to pre-twist/torque the spring prior to closing the plastic caps. Fiddle with it, you'll see what i am talking about.

have fun folks.

Got my new cases within 5 days of ordering. Past reviews on this item were right on the money. Just re-use your old key, pc board, and RFID chip. The RFID chip was glued in by the factory, but I found out nail polish remover(acetone) helped to free it up without any damage. Just be very patient and use a Q-tip to saturate the area around the RFID chip several times. Within a few minutes, the old glue is loosened up and then I used a thin pocket knife blade to pry it up ever so gently. Place a dab of super-glue into the new remote to secure the RFID chip in place, move over the battery, install the pc board, and torque the old key into your new remote (3 spins worked for me) and you're done!

This product makes my old key look just like new. I moved the circuit board and rfid chip over without a problem. My old key wouldn't quite slide in far enough into the cam to allow the locking pin to go in. When I compared the key blank that came with this shell, I noticed that it was just a tiny bit thinner where it slides into the rotating cam. I used a piece of sandpaper on the end of my old key to thin it down just a bit. The old key fit perfectly after that. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a key FOB that is failing mechanically and the electronics are still working.

I took the key shell appart and just swapped out parts and it worked. I mainly needed the key ring on it. It was alot cheaper than buying a new key.

Coby CA-745 Wireless FM Car Transmitter with Digital Display and DC Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Coby CA-745 Wireless FM Car Transmitter with Digital Display and DC Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter
  • LCD Display with backlight
  • Ideal for MP3, CD and MD Playback
  • Full range frequency settings
  • 3.5mm Stereo Audio Input Jack for most audio devices
  • Transmits music wirelessly from audio devices over FM frequency
  • Ideal for MP3, CD, and audio playback from other portable devices
  • Full-range FM frequency settings
  • LCD display with backlight
  • 3.5mm stereo plug works with most audio devices

The Coby-745 is in my opinion, the all-around best buy in the wireless FM car transmitter market. At $17.99 on Amazon, it is roughly half the price of most of it's competitors, but what's amazing is that it provides additional features! The cap on the built in car charger flips off to reveal a spot for another charging plug (like for a cell phone for example). The springs hold the device in tightly while in use and the charger unit is hinged to the transmitter, providing for a 360 degree+ rotation of the unit. The light up screen in blue shows the full frequency channels you can select from with the lighted dial, in increments of 0.1 MHz.

This unit doesn't just look pretty and have nice features, it also performs extremely well. On a 40 minute commute through back roads, highway and city, the unit didn't lose signal once and I heard ZERO interference, yes, that's right, none! Compare that to other reviews.

Downsides? All the downsides are common to most other transmitters: it doesn't have an on/off button, so you have to unplug the unit if you want it to stop drawing power. To get the sound just right, you have to crank the treble on your car stereo a tad (although this just may be a personal preference). And, you have to crank the volume on your mp3 player and/or stereo (and remember to turn the volumes back down when you use your stereo or mp3 player without the transmitter or else risk blowing out your eardrums). There was some static noise when handling the unit initially although I found this went away quickly as the static charge (coming from the user) dispersed.

The sound quality amazes mevery near CD quality soundand I was very pleased there was no interferencein the 40 minutes driving, I never had to switch channels. As long as it holds up, I don't plan on switching transmitters anytime soon either. The Coby-745 rocks.

Right off, the price. If I paid double or even triple and it performed as it does, I would have been satisfied. FM transmitters by definition are supposed to be the last resort for sending audio through car speakers from a portable device, given their many potential downfalls. But I've used the Coby CA-745 daily for over two months now and I couldn't be happier. I even made sure to wait this long before posting a review, in case it worked well but broke quickly.

A few major points to consider regarding this model: first, this is not an iPod-charging device. For me, that was OK. Everything I plug my iPod into at home charges it, so I was purposely looking for a transmitter that would fit the iPod's 3.5mm headphone jack.

Second, it allows for selection among the full FM frequency band including the almost-never-taken 87.9. I set it there on Day 1 and never changed it. But it's nice to know that I am not limited to four preset tunings if I need to change it.

Third, it is designed thoughtfully. I didn't want a battery-powered transmitter, but my lighter jack is situated in a recessed part of my lower dashboard, so the tilting display helps. The coiled connection cable keeps things neat, as does the flip-off cover that exposes a piggyback lighter jack, so you can still plug in a cellphone charger or whatever. Funny that you don't see any of these options in the high-priced FM transmitters.

But none of the above would matter if it didn't sound good. I am a critical listener, though aware that I cannot expect my car audio system to sound as good as my home system. Three aspects of this unit's audio quality stand out: its output level strength is terrific, there is actual discernable stereo separation, and no noticeable coloration in frequencies. I tried all the preset EQ settings on my iPod with this and found that it sounded best flat, no EQ at all. To me, that alone spoke volumes about the quality of its transmitted stereo signal.

Background noise is virtually non-existent and I never get those bursts of static anymore. I can make out a very slight constant high-pitched whine, which I know is my car interfering with the signal (having the wipers on causes the whine to modulate some), but note this is just one component of an overall VERY LOW LEVEL background noise floor. Unless you crank it up between songs or during very light musical passages, you're not going to hear any artifacts produced by this unit. And for you purists out there try cranking up your built-in car CD player when a song is paused with factory units especially, you may be surprised by how much low-level garbage is percolating back there that you'd never really notice.

My Ford Taurus was tricky for getting an iPod to play through it. The factory audio system is configured in such a way that adding an audio input would have been expensive and complex to install. The in-dash cassette goes into auto-forward when trying to use a cassette adapter, so I'm really stuck with the FM transmitter method. My antenna is a standard fixed-pole antenna at the back of the car, and the cheap no-name FM transmitter I was using before this could only be placed in certain locations to work at all, and even then produced constant light static that was annoyingly audible, plus regular bursts of loud jarring static. Yet I put up with that for a long time since I knew from researching online that no matter what model or price, there was nothing that was consistently lauded as working great, and every unit seemed to have the ability to work as poorly as the piece of junk I already had.

So again, the price. There are no guarantees, but a lot of people are having good luck with this unit. If your situation is like mine, the price alone should make it worth the gamble.

I have gone through four of these types of FM Transmitters. One was powered by the iPod. I don't recommend that type as it sucks your battery dry quickly. The one I am replacing this time worked alright, but was bulky and finally stopped working correctly. I was happy when I plugged this one in and effortlessly synced FM stations and got CD quality sound. Another nice feature is that you don't have to switch it on. When it is plugged in it is live when the radio is tuned to that station and does not affect any other stations if you are listening or scanning other stations. The only thing I wish someone would add is a bit of amplification. Every transmitter I've used requires you to turn your iPod volume up almost all the way and then you still have to turn your stereo volume up much higher than normal. Obviously, if you forget to adjust both volumes down before using either next time, you will blast your eardrums or speakers.

I drive for a living, and I love jazz. I also think FM radio is insipid at best, so I've been using wireless transmitters for my CD and now Mp3 player for over 4 yrs. This, so far, is the best. It covers the full FM spectrum, provides power to keep a signal and looks way cool doing it. I always had a low opinion of all things Coby, but they really hit a homerun with this piece of gear. The only question will be, how will it work in 3 or 6 months? If I don't change this review then buy it, by all means. When something works this good for under $20 it's a no-brainer.

Addendum: It's been a couple months now and the unit had been performing very well. Held the signal better than any other wireless FM transmitter I ever tried. Seldom faded and constant strength. But then... just today, I tried using the piggyback adaptor with a 60w converter for a heating pad and it burnt out the Coby. That's why I went into the detailed description: if you use the adaptor let it be for a cellphone or something using less juice. Otherwise it will fry the unit. I ordered another one though as I really enjoyed using itso in the end that's the highest endorsement I can give.

When I first bought the CA-745, I thought it was a great buy: it worked well. After about nine days or so, it started making a loud cracking sound (loud static) whenever the end of the stereo connector moved. This quickly became unbearable to me because it happened every time I selected a song or changed the volume, etc. I had to return it for a refund. If Coby can get the wiring quality taken care of, they will have an unbeatable value on the CA-745.

Power Acoustik WLHP-100 Wireless Infrared Headphones

Power Acoustik WLHP-100 Wireless Infrared HeadphonesWe bought these headphones for our 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and they work perfectly. The dealership wanted $70 a pair for factory headphones and these work perfect. I highly recommend!

Awesome wireless headphones. These headphones worked quite well for my kids during the drive on our vacation. For the price they can't be beat and it provides you with peace and quiet during your drive. They work well with our Dodge Grand Caravan and with my friends Pontiac Montana. They are worth their weight in gold. You will not be disappointed.

Final plus, they automatically shut off after 15 minutes of inactivity.

I'll start first with the only bad thing I found with these headphones, and the reason they receive 4 stars instead of 5... the advertisement / branding. When I clicked the "Buy Now" button, I was under the impression, based on the product description, that I was purchasing a set of *Power Acoustic* name brand headphones, but what I received was a set of *Farenheit* (never heard of the brand before) headphones which may or may not be made by Power Acoustic. While the model # on the box is the same as that advertised in the product description, there are no markings whatsoever on the headphones or packaging that indicate that these are a Power Acoustic product. I do not appreciate being mis-led into making a purchase. This seems like a case of bait-and-switch to me. I did however know that this may occur, based on another reviewers comments, and I decided to purchase these anyway because of the low price and generally positive reviews.

I purchased these for my new-to-me 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. The van apparently was equipped with headphones from the factory, however I did not receive them when I bought the vehicle used, so I cannot compare these headphones to the OEM ones... I just know that they do work in my van.

After installing the (2) AAA batteries (not included), the headphones felt well balanced on my head (the batteries are on one side and the electronics on the other). The headphones are fairly light, so I don't foresee my daughter (almost 3) having a problem wearing them, however even when adjusted to the smallest size, they are still a little big on her head.

I assumed that these headphones would automatically work once I turned them on in the van, however after looking at the owners manual, I found that I have to turn on the headphone setting on the DVD player before they will work. Once that was done, it was smooth sailing. The head phones picked up the IR signal and the sound started playing. The volume is sufficient, and the sound quality is average but hey, so is watching a movie on a 6" screen. The headphones work well anywhere in the van except when moved toward the front two (driver / passenger) seats which I assume, is by design. Also, these headphones do not block out much of the ambient noise, so if you plan on listening to music while the kids watch movies, the kids might have a rough time hearing the movie if you don't turn off the rear speakers.

All in all I'm pleased with this product, and I'm glad I didn't have to pay the exorbitant price that the dealership wanted for a set of replacement headphones. I would recommend these headphones to friends, and if needed, I'll buy another set in the future.
