Poor Fit
This item only holds the iPhone firmly if you remove the backing foam from the unit and replace it with say, clingfilm. Otherwise the iPhone wobbles about all the time. I was going to buy one for my son but am having second thoughts now.

Total waste of money !
Sold as enabling 3G i-phone to play music and make phone calls through car FM radio. Does neither properly. With both audio and i-pod connectors in place (which is what the instructions suggest) it fails completely. Works poorly with either alone, but not good enough for phone calls. I returned mine same day.

Dreadful
Had one for four weeks. constant bad crackly sound. Shape of neck got in the way, no matter what you did with it, needs to be longer or shorter. Then to cap it all, it just all fell apart at the point you plug it into the ciggie lighter. Utter garbage and I feel conned

Save your money for something else
I agree with most that this item does look good but thats where it ends. If you only want to spend £20 then thats fine you get £20 worth of quality. My advice would be to save that cash and put it towards the Griffin dock. The allkit is a poor FM Transmitter frequently losing signal, will not stay in your cig socket as it is too top heavy and as your car moves the allkit flops about all over the place. Dont waste your money. Im surprised MobileFun are still selling this after all the neg reviews.

Allkit
I have tried countless FM transmitters through out the years and i can say that this has one of the best sound quality i have heard.Granted its not going to be CD quality but never the less its still good. Also you can use the docking port or the headphone jack. There is a USB port so you can charge your phone by the cradle which i found very handy. I have tried the expensive and the cheap this is one of the best i have found and it's also one of the cheapest. The transmission signal is stronger than most. The flexible pipe could be a little sturdier but i found the perfect position with a little playing about and it doesnt seem to move about that much . overall its well worth the £20-£30 you will spend.

Very Poor
This item looks great but fails to deliver.Due to the weight of the iPhone the cradle just flops around in the cigarete lighter as you go round corners. The sound qaulity is appauling. Dont waste your money on this item.

Not bad
Its just about OK. May be because I havent had much expectations. The FM tuner is not very clear.

Dissapointing
I bought two of these for two different cars. In my car (VW Golf VR6) the whole thing fell about all over the palce and ended up blowing a fuse. Gooseneck barely able to steady the weight of an Iphone 3g. In my partners car (Ren. Scenic) mount was a bit sturdier but felt vulnerable. Audio was lousy at best, harsh. Hands free is poor and requires extra cable (shortcoming of iPhone rather than mount). I haven't unboxed one of them, guess I'll try and sell it on, there doesn't seem to be any ideal in car iPhone solutions, thankfully it works beautifully with my Parrot CK3100 but only for phone functions. Don't buy this tacky rubbish, not recommended.

Doesn't work!
When I tried this in my car there was so much interference that it was unusable.

Not very good
The FM transmitter is poor at best. It frequently drops out in the middle of a song. The construction is flimsy and the charging connector that goes into the bottom of the phone does not fit easily. Was disappointed with this and have subsequently bought a different FM transmitter which works much better.
