Product Description
AutoPilot is a sleek, low profile power adapter and iPod controller that plugs into the cigarette lighter or power socket in your dashboard or console. AutoPilot's illuminated knob gives you controls for Play/Pause and Track Forward/Backward. You get tactile feedback that lets you keep your eyes on the road. It's the perfect complement for iPod touch or any iPod while driving. You never have to glance down or touch the face of your iPod. AutoPilot uses a line-level output jack to send the best possible sound from your iPod to your car stereos equipped with Auxiliary-In jacks.

 Works fairly well, but causes static sometimes September 7, 2008
Like others who have reviewed this product, I found that it worked pretty well. Although you get a warning when using it with the iPhone, it seems to charge the phone without problems. The connector from the iPhone to the AUX input works perfectly.
When I tried to connect the iPhone to the AUX while simultaneously charging it, however, there was so much static that I couldn't hear the music well. I quickly disconnected the charger and everything worked fine. I tried using "airplane mode" as suggested by a message displayed on the iPhone, but that didn't help.

Griffin AutoPilot Charger/Controller for iPod Great product for my car that is set up for mp3 player so I don't need the fm radio link
Works great - 5 volt (USB) charger September 3, 2008
Good
- sounds much better then the FM transmitter I used with my old car (didn't have an AUX input).
- Basic controls (Play/Pause, Forward, Back) easy to reach, no need to fiddle with the ipod while I'm driving!
- Lighted controls easy to find at night at a glance.
- 5 Volt charger (future proof). Most in car chargers are 12 volts (left over from FireWire) 12 Volt charging will no longer be supported starting with the iPhone 3G. This should work with the new batch of iPods that are said to be released latter this month.
-Uses line out on the Doc connector (no need to crank the volume on the iPod). Has Hi/Low output switch (Hi = line level, low = headphone level)
- Price. 1/3 the price of an after market interface for the Honda stereo (and it is 12V) and 1/8 the price of the rip-off Honda iLink interface (12 volts again).
Not so good
- While charging the light fades between bright, dim and back. A bit distracting in the corner of my eye. Since the colour changes (red - no iPod attached, amber - charging, green - charged) they don't need the disco light show.
If you have a car stereo with an AUX input this is just what you need to get your iPod playing in the car.

Griffin has always done a great job with their products. The AutoPilot has been an amazing asset to my car. Before, it was just the AUX IN and I would have to adjust the sound through the IPOD and the sound system of the car. With this, I can adjust the volume just through my sound system and it sounds amazing. I've always tried the radio transmitter ones and they just don't sound as good compared to the AUX IN. Charging the IPOD at the same thing and being able to hide it away too is a great thing. Also, the capability of changing songs is a lot easier instead of trying to find it.
