Griffin TuneFlex Aux Review
There are many ways to listen to your iPod in your car, from tape adapters to FM transmitters. Here’s a look at a relatively new accessory that takes advantage of your car’s auxiliary jack.
The TuneFlex Aux from Griffin Technology is a simple way to hook your iPod up through the auxiliary jack in your car. The flexible steel neck allows you to position your iPod in any way possible. It also charges your iPod securely by plugging directly into the cigarette lighter in your car. It comes with a variety of adapters for the today’s iPod models including the 3rd generation iPod nano and iPod touch to ensure the best fit possible.
The setup of the TuneFlex Aux couldn’t be simpler. Attach the appropriate dock adapter for the iPod model of your choice, plug the accessory into your car’s cigarette lighter, dock your iPod, and connect the included 1/8� minijack cable to your car’s auxiliary jack. The audio from your iPod should come out in pristine quality, much better than the FM transmitters that many people use today.
We tested the TuneFlex Aux using a 3rd generation iPod nano and it worked seamlessly using our car’s auxiliary jack. It also charged the iPod nano and paused the current track whenever the car’s power was turned off.
This may be one of the best solutions for listening to your iPod if your car has the required auxiliary jack. We’ll have a few other solutions in the next few weeks for those without one. The Griffin TuneFlex Aux is available today for $49.99. Make sure your iPod works with the TuneFlex Aux by going to the Griffin Technology website, it only works with a few models.
