Default Car Adapter to Connect to Mobile Gadgets and USB

I’m looking for a car adapter to listen to music from iPod, iPhone,iPad and Windows gadgets and also USB flash. Do you have any recommendations? I’ve heard some good opinions about car adapter AUX Link. It’s compatible with Apple devices, USB flash drive, SD memory cards and devices with 3.5 mm audio plug. Does anyone use it and can share his experience? Do you have better recommendations? Thank you!

I can share with you my personal experience. When I took the decision to buy car audio adapter AUX Link, I was trying to find the best deal and it's really cheaper to purchase it at the official online shop AUX Car Kits. The adapter was delivered in just four days. At first I tried to install it on my own, but experiences some troubles taking out the OEM car stereo. I didn't have necessary tools, so in the end I had it installed in the nearest autotuning workshop. It took around 15 minutes. So far totally contented with the adapter.

Pluses:

- compatible with Apple gadgets, USB flash drive, SD memory cards, but there is also a mini jack for other mobile devices (MP3 players, Android and Windows smartphones, tablets, laptops, netbooks, PSP etc.).
- high quality sound
- can be used as a charger
- with additional Bluetooth module works perfectly as a Bluetooth handsfree kit
- music control with steering wheel buttons and buttons on the car head unit (really convenient)
- supports all music formats
- delivery is free and fast
- takes very little space and almost invisible
- now I can enjoy all my favourite music without carrying piles of CDs.

Minuses:

- a bit expensive as I also purchased additional Bluetooth module to use the adapter as a Bluetooth car kit
- couldn't easily take out the head unit so I had to go to auto workshop

But all in all, I think it's a good product. So from my point of view it's worth buying.
