Simply plug your iPhone or iPod into the car kit using a 3.5-mm audio cable, and then insert the kit into your in-dash auxiliary port. Within seconds, digital-quality sound will be pumping through your car's audio system. Fingertip Control
The steering wheel-mounted remote control is designed to be mounted with the controls on the interior of your steering wheel. he remote conveniently allows you to play, pause, and skip music files with just your thumb, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel. Convenience
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!!
 A bit top heavy... July 13, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was eagerly awaiting this dock for my iPhone in order to use it in my 2005 Nissan Armada. Previously, I had just been using cables running from an iPhone dock to supply power (via the accessory jack in the Armada's console) and for sound output (1/8" mini stereo cable to aux input on the console). This worked fine, although the dock and phone would fall over on sharp turns.
I connected the LiquidAUX Deluxe to the accessory jack without difficulty, although in the Armada, the jack is recessed about 1.5" deeper than the rest of the console, so that the back of the cradle was actually close to touching some of the console control knobs (like climate control). I noted that the cradle was a bit top heavy, and driving around, particularly over some bumps, caused the power connection in the accessory jack to intermittently disconnect, so that music stopped playing, and the iPhone stopped charging, until I jiggled the connection to restore power. Occasionally, the whole dock would pivot 90 degrees due to the weight at the top.
I do like the ability to adjust the gooseneck and the overall compactness of the dock, which by the way, accommodates both the original iPhone and the new iPhone 3G, although it takes a bit of finagling to get the 3G to seat on the dock connector.
I think I will return the item, and get the LiquidAUX non-Deluxe version, which is the same thing without the gooseneck and dock. I will connect the iPhone and just rest it in the console - I don't necessarily need to see the screen while driving.
 Works with iPhone 2G and 3G! Great car accessory/charger! July 22, 2008

This cradle can charge both 2g and 3g iPhones. It sits securely and is not too difficult to dock the iPhone with Apple's proprietary USB connector. Kensington made the USB dock mount adjustable/slide-able. Essentially, when you mount the iPhone/iPod, the USB dock can slide (or stay in place) to an appropriate mount position; hope that didn't sound too confusing. The auxiliary input (as well as the provided extended wire) works well and the wire is lined with a nice "mountain climbing rope" fabric; feels like it was made with high quality materials. It's not made with that cheap rubbery plastic molding that most auxiliary wires come with. The remote works well and mounts well with the steering wheel. However, your hands will need to readjust the new additional peripheral added to your steering wheel.
I love using this mount for the GPS "google" maps mode. I personally think its a great buy for car charging and iphone usage! Now, my car crash percentages have jumped 400%; a bit of sarcasm!
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
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
