Buy Rapid Car / Auto Charger for the Apple iPhone - Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology Now

I bought this charger to charge my iPhone from my car's cigarette lighter.

I'm not satisified with this product.

1. The charger produces static on my FM radio when the phone is plugged it.

2. The charger charges my iPhone very slowly. (Its hardly rapid.)

3. The charger's iPhone plug adapter is a separate part from the charger. (The charger is 'universal'.) The adapter needs to be fiddled with to make a good connection between the charger's phone-side cable and the iPhone. (I suspect this adapter connection is the source of the static.)

In summary, the charger is of lower quality and construction then the iPhone. It is however usable.
