Decent item, but the description says the charger works and has been tested with the iPhone 3G.
What it doesn't say is that it that you will get a message stating that it will only work in AIRPLANE MODE. Click "NO" to NOT go into AIRPLANE mode and it wil work fine anyway.
Also, you can skip connecting the charging piece and only connect the sound/headphone output to the FM transmitter -- it works fine as well.

I have three complaints regarding this device:
(1) The part of the device that plugs into the car's cigarette lighters (i.e. outlets) is a rigid plug extending from the back of the device. This means that if your cigarette lighters are tucked into corners, gloveboxes, etc., the device cannot be plugged into your car. You need a wide, unobstructed approach coming into your outlet.

The sound quality in this one open spot is not that great - some static carries through. Perhaps we will get better transmission on our drives into rural areas of the country.
(3) While the device claims to be compatible with iPhone 3G, it is not an Apple supported device. Consequences? (a) Your iPhone gets forced into...Read more

i like this product and works great with my 3G iPhone and the sound is excellent, but it sticks out of my cigarette lighter making it difficult to shift the transmission in my Ford Explorer Sporttrac. If you want to buy this you might want to make sure the cigarette lighter is not too close to the transmission. The remote control that comes in the package is worthless.
