I realize that is what people are using. However, I have read some reviews on these usb car chargers that are not compatible with all car lighter sockets because they are too short or don't fit correctly. I just wanted to get know some specific models that are proven to work in the IS. Thanks

What are you running on your phone? Stored music, pandora, etc?
My pandora sometimes decided it is going to skip to the next song for no reason or skip for a few seconds when service gets sketchy. No problems like that using ipod mode though.

So..
I've had the same problem. My Phone (samsung epic) can't keep up when Im running Music + gps + full brightness.
This is the best charger for the money you can get that works in our cars.

The problem for me is that even with a 2.1 amp charger.....the phone still thinks it's being charged through a USB port. Which will only charge at 500mA.. which sucks.
In order to fix it, you've got to "jump" two of the four wires.
Sigh. Why is everything so damn complicated.

For people without the factory NAV/Bluetooth, this is a very good product that I use in my older lexus rx300.

I want to get this Blackberry unit to work with my iPhone 3GS. I know this can stream music, but will I also be able to make calls and hear the voice via the vehicle's speakers as I currently do with the phone's headphone to vehicle's aux port via 3.5mm cable ? Can I continue the same thing, but wirelessly?

Maybe someone else has this issue that I'm having with it.
Scenario: Blackberry gateway and the oem bluetooth (for calls) both connected. About every minute or so the music will stutter. If I use the oem phone call bluetooth function (audio automatically stops via the phone) the calls are highly distorted.
It almost seems like the bluetooth is running out of bandwidth if that makes sense.
Not sure if it's my phone or gateway.
