Not bad.......2007-05-15
I was wishy-washy as to whether I should get the unit with or without the remote and I'm glad I chose this one. The buttons on the remote aren't exactly easy to decipher but I just use the volume buttons anyway. Not bad for the price either. The blue light is a little annoying because it's always on but not a huge deal for me either.
Great dock for price!.......2007-02-02
This is a good deal at the low Amazon price. The only problem I had was the USB cable that came with the unit was defective. I used another spare cable and it worked fine. The remote is a little cheesy, but it does work. Some of the buttons have a weird symbol that takes some experimenting to figure out.
Soooo, overall this is well worth the price. It was compatible with my G5 60 Gb video iPod.
Inexpensive iPod dock delivers on promises.......2006-12-01
I was wary about purchasing this item because I could find no formal reviews discussing it online, and the price was too good to be true. (The Apple-brand version of this device costs $99.) Now that I've hooked it up, I'm very impressed.
It's sound and video output work exactly as described - and the quality is quite good to my untrained ears. The dock, while not very sturdy or heavy, is beautifully designed & contains adapters for almost all iPod types. And of course, your iPod charges while it's in the cradle. (Via power cable, USB cable, or Firewire cable -- all included.) The only thing not included with this device is a S-Video cable, but that's not necessary for it to work.
The remote has a futuristic look with a clear blue plastic rim that lights up when you press buttons. Unfortunately, its usability leaves something to be desired with small buttons in a non-standard layout.
This device does not have on-screen display of music information (ie. current track, artist, album info) or navigation choices when using the remote. So finding the right song on your iPod is nearly impossible without walking over to the iPod and using its scroll wheel manually. To get such on-screen display, you need the Griffin TuneCenter or DLO HomeDock Deluxe (for ~ $130).
In short, this is a GREAT product for the $29 I paid. I only wish I had bought it 6 months ago!
lousy sound quality, even at $43.99.......2006-07-26
I have returned this item to Amazon; I paid $43.99 when they had it in stock. The audio out on this dock is a stereo mini (1/8") jack, the connection is terrible from then getgo, with low volume, distortion, and noise when the jack is jiggled.
I would highly recommend the dock they're currently selling at Radio Shack for $29.99. It has RCA outputs on the back and excellent sound quality, it charges, and the remote has a menu button.

Warning - you need to buy an extra usb cable for 5G ipods.......2007-05-28
Overall this is a nice product with a lot of extra adapters for different voltages and different ipod models. HOWEVER - and this is important - if you have a 5G ipod you WILL need to buy an EXTRA USB A to mini 5 pin cable. For some reason the item I received does not have this USB cable. (The cable was not in the contents section of the box or manual even though it's listed on the website). I tried to use the included firewire cable, but the ipod will not sync to my pc with the firewire connection.
Great Deal........2007-02-27
Don't bother buying apples dock-get this. I have been using this with my iPod video for the past year, and it has yet to fail me. It always works, it came with lots of cables, and it works just as well as an apple dock. The only little gripe I have about it is that the blue light on the dock does not light when plugged into a computer-it only lights when charged from a wall plug. But if you think about it all the light would do is get annoying. This is great for traveling as it has connections for everything. Love the price-love the contents-and I love how it does not feel cheap AT ALL. Buy it, it is great for the price.
MAXELL P-3 Universal iPod Charging Dock.......2007-01-18
This purchase was a gift and the recipient has been very happy with it.
Why pay more?.......2007-01-03
I purchased this in place of the Apple version. Sure, it's not as substantial, but IT CHARGES THE IPOD!!! Meanwhile, Apple wants you to also buy the 120v power converter and various cables separately--THESE ARE PROVIDED with the MAXELL universal dock. Soooooo.....don't be an Apple snob and save lots of $$$$ in the process. This item gets five stars just for that. Your basic no-brainer here folks.
Question About the Maxell P-3.......2006-10-14
Please ignore the rating, I couldn't ask my question without including it. Just a question regarding the function of this dock. Can you interface with a digital camera and download photos using the USB cable? If it would do that it sounds like a perfect solution.
Thanks for any information.
