The dock adjusts to fit the iPhone and most iPod models without removing them from the case, and a smart audio sensor controls the kit's power automatically. Kensington's LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit is compatible with the iPhone (1G and 3G); iPod nano (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch. Note: An auxiliary port in your car is required for the LiquidAUX Deluxe. Support
Backed by Kensington's two-year warranty, the LiquidAUX also comes with free technical support. Important Note: Sound Effects
When using an auxiliary device in the car, you might hear a slight buzzing sound, engine noise, or high-pitched whine. That is because your car model has a grounding issue between the audio system and the power socket, which causes a whining or buzzing sound when you drive. This sound is not caused by your Kensington product; however, Kensington has an easy solution. Simply purchase an automotive ground loop isolator for your car that is compatible with a 3.5-mm jack. This simple tool will enable you to use your music in a safe, hands-free environment. What's in the Box
Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit, remote control, and 4-foot audio extension cable.

 What my iPhone has been waiting for.... July 8, 2008
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Pros:
1. Compatible with my new Iphone 3G, 3g Nano & iPod Video
2. Charges ipod, but will automatically shut off when battery is fully charged.
3. the dock holder tilts to landscape mode easily (great for reading maps on iPhone).
4. the gooseneck easily swivels so that it faces at me or at passenger
5. remote is awesome! I gave it to my kids, sitting in the 3rd row of my Suburban, and they were controling ipod with it. So the range is great!
6. There's a 4' aux exention cord if needed
Cons:
Short gooseneck
I would highly recommend this item...it charges, holds ipod, has a remote, and connects into Aux port (YOU NEED AN AUXILIARY PORT IN YOUR CAR!!). And because this does connect through Aux port, the sound is very clean and pure.
If your aux port is in your center console, Kensington has an alternative product you might like Kensington LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod and iPhone (Black)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Works Very Well With iPhone 3G July 31, 2008

Because I use Pandora while I drive, the 3G function drains my battery like no tomorrow. I purchased this car kit to mount, charge, and connect to my aux input so I can listen to streaming internet radio. Setup was a breeze. The remote control does not allow you to control the audio function of 3rd party applications such as AOL Radio or Pandora, but it works very well with the iPod function on the iPhone 3G. Slightly expensive, but worth the money.
iPhone 3G compatible! August 9, 2008

I needed a product that would work with the iPhone 3G. I tried a cheap-o version off eBay that said it was compatible. It was not. This one is. The goose neck adjustability along with a swivel makes it easy to find a position that works well in the car. I have a tape deck so I plugged my 3.5 jack into one of the old-school fake tapes for Disk Mans. ($6 on eBay, no shipping). I did need a simple Radio Shack 3.5 female-female adapter ($4). It charges the phone well and sounds great! There are no warnings, errors, things you have to plug in or anything. The iPhone 3G slides into the holder and the big plug goes into the base. That's it. I didn't try the steering wheel mounted remote yet. I found it got in the way of my ability to steer. However, with the position I have the phone in the car it makes it easy to use the touch screen to switch songs.
I'd give this thing 6 stars if I could August 20, 2008

After reading the mixed reviews on this unit, I took a leap of faith, and it met or exceeded my every wish.
I needed a solution for listening to an iPod Touch in my Acura RDX (non-tech). I was mostly concerned with sound and looks.
As for the sound, it sounds the EXACT same as CDs playing through the car's CD player. I have mainly lossless tracks, but I do have some 320 kbps tracks, and they sound fine as well...sorry I don't have anything with more compression, but I bet it would sound the same as it would if you were listening to an MP3 CD at the same compression rate. I get no feedback sounds from the engine, the ac unit, or anything else. I control the volume using the car's steering wheel controls, and find I need to crank it up about 5 ticks to get the volume output to match the volume of a similiar CD.
In the looks department, it couldn't be better for me. I place it in the cigarette lighter so that the gooseneck extends straight out to the right, and this leaves me complete access to the climate controls, etc. Nothing is blocked, yet at the same time it doesn't extend so far out as to interfere with the passenger's knees. This setup also allows for me to close the cover for the drink holders, which is a big plus- I had tried 2 different chargers for my mobile phone before I found one that had a long enough profile to allow me to close the cup holder cover while the charger was plugged in. Also, the wire is the exact length that I need to plug it into the aux port, plus its completely hidden by the unit itself, so it is very sleek looking.
One downside for me is that the steering wheel remote bugged me, so I attached it to an unobtrusive part of the driver's side door handle, which works well for me.
I only wish they would come out with a model that had an input on the side that would allow me to charge my cell phone at the same time, but I don't know enough about these things to know if that's even possible.
Great mount for iPod Touch August 25, 2008

I got my LiquidAUX Deluxe two weeks ago, and I'm really happy with my purchase. Remote control works with no problems. I was a little worried about how this will fit with my electric socket, but it is solid and stays on place.
My kids love to see their movies on my Touch and ear audio around the car. Nice job Kensington!
