iphone/ipod charging cord

I discovered this item in another forum and thought I would share it here. I bought this and it works a lot better than the Scosche adapter because it locks into place like the original cable does. So no more losing connectivity if you hit a bump or rough roads. It was originally for Fords but it works just fine in my 09 G37.

I ordered it online. It took about 4 days to get it but shipping was about $9. I have never seen it in stores.

Does anyone know if this will allow me to listen to Pandora from an iPhone 4 in an 08 G35x?

Damn 40 dollars for a converter? It sucks that apple changed the Voltage but they should have made a legit converter at the apple store, it would work and I'm sure it would probably be around 30$

Does anyone know anything about the "Isimple" converter?
Amazon.com: ISIMPLE IS712 iPod 12 Volt to 5 Volt Charging Converter: Electronics
Its way cheaper and I get free shipping through amazon prime.

Did you order this? Does it work and lock in place?

There was also a couple others from peripheral and other mfg's on amazon. Would love to know if anybody has tried one. I already know not to get the scocshe, however most people on amazon are ordering that!

Still deciding whether to use an iPod or a 16gb thumb drive.

My iPod is a 1st iPod touch. If I leave it plugged in, the ipod battery will die? (new owner and haven't played or read much yet).

Thx

Which one did you get?
The sosche I know doesn't have the clips to lock in place and comes loose. Griffin makes one with clips but again its 30 dollars.

Everything on Amazon looks cheap as crap and I'm sure has even worse customer service.

It's not a problem with your 2010. Apple changed the charging voltage of their newer iPod/iPhone devices from a Firewire standard (12V) to a USB standard (5V). These devices perform that conversion.
