Tuneflex AUX for iPod

Griffin Technology today announced its TuneFlex AUX is now shipping. TuneFlex AUX is a flexible charging cradle with line-out audio and provides a custom-look, in-car mount that charges the iPod as it plays over the car's stereo. The updated product line now includes an auxiliary-in cable to accommodate the growing segment of auxiliary input-enabled cars. Griffin says TuneFlex AUX creates the high quality of direct, line-in sound on a flexible charging cradle for iPod. The elegant and versatile accessory for iPod is designed with newer automobiles in mind: it plugs into the car's 12 Volt accessory outlet to power and charge an iPod while holding it at a convenient position in front of the dashboard or console. A light at the base of TuneFlex's infinitely adjustable neck shows power status at a glance, while its charging circuitry is equipped with a replaceable auto fuse to keep the iPod safe from power spikes.

The built-in 1/8-inch stereo line-out audio jack (cable included) enable the user to attach an iPod directly to the car stereo's auxiliary input jack. For cars that don't have an aux-in port on the car stereo, TuneFlex has a pass-through dock connector so it can be used in conjunction with Griffin's iTrip FM transmitter.

For fifth-generation iPods with video, the TuneFlex package includes a transparent sleeve that slips down over any 5G iPod for added security.

The flexible TuneFlex AUX is available in two sizes; TuneFlex AUX for iPod nano and TuneFlex AUX for iPod with video. Griffin's TuneFlex AUX for iPod (9557-5GTFLXAUX) and TuneFlex AUX for iPod nano (9556-NTFLXAUX) are both priced at $50.
