 Doesn't work in my vehicle July 18, 2010
Jon Carlson
This item might work fine in other vehicles, the problem may be with the design of my Chevy Blazer. It seems the transmitter just isn't powerful enough to transmit all the way to my cars antenna.
Maybe if your car has one of those internal, in the windshield antennas this might work because the antenna would be so close to the unit.
 Works well with iPhone 3GS January 22, 2010

I purchased the TuneBase Direct with the hope that it would make it much easier to take advantage of all my iPhone 3GS offers while on my 70 mile commute to and from work, and I am happy to report that the device has met my expectations. I am using the provided 3.5 mm audio cable to connect the device to the aux-in on my Kenwood head unit in my 2003 Mazda Protege, and the setup works very well. Obviously, it allows me to listen to music without draining the iPhone's battery or locking the screen, which is much more conducive to switching playlists while driving. I also like the fact that I can play, stop, and skip tracks, activate voice control, and answer and hang up calls all with the one button on the device. The built-in mic seems to work well as everyone I have spoken to on the phone via the TuneBase has said they could hear me clearly. Another positive feature is the ability to adjust the device to accomodate various iPod and iPhone models with or without cases; I use the Incase Slider on my iPhone, and it fits perfectly in the TuneBase.
I would have rated the TuneBase with 5 stars if it weren't for two minor drawbacks: 1) the control button is a bit difficult to use for skipping tracks as you must press it twice rapidly to skip forward or thrice rapidly to skip backward, which often leads to simply pausing and playing again; and 2) the TuneBase tends to fall to the side when making sharp turns. Despite these minor flaws, I would still highly recommend the TuneBase.
In the interest of full disclosure, another drawback is that when making or receiving calls on the highway, I must crank my stereo's volume to max in order to hear the person clearly (and must remember to turn it back down before the music resumes!), but it did not affect my rating because it is not the fault of the TuneBase but rather my car for letting too much road noise into the cabin.
