Monster iCharger w/Dock Connector

[TSans]

Has anyone purchased this new version of the iCharger? If so, does it have a line out jack like the Belkin charger? It's less expensive than the Belkin Auto Kit, and I'd like to have an all Monster solution in my car.

It does have a line-out. I called and spoke to a monster rep and he got the package and confirmed. I have yet to find one locally here in Houston.

Did you happen to ask if the line out is amplified? That's the one thing keeping me from buying the Belkin. By the way, I haven't seen one of the Monster products in Atlanta either.

True line-out. No amplifier.

If it does have a line out, you sure can't tell from the product listing on Monster's site; there is nothing in its pic or its description that indicates a lineout. I am going by this product listing, so I'll stand corrected if wrong:

Now that I look closely at the picture, I think it does have a line out.

See the little gold output on the side of the end that connects to the ipod?

A headphone output and a line output are not the same thing. The 3rd gen ipods are the first to have a true line output.

Does anyone know where you can get Monster gear for iPods in the UK?

I believe you're right! Still, I think I'll go with the IMP cable from SiK, or at least wait til we hear from someone using the Monster solution.
