This car charger has lasted years i bought one back in 2008 for myself and my dad liked it better than his own because it was black and it matched his bmw interior better.So i gave one to my dad he has been using it since.And i got another one just recently for myself he gave me his old one but it was one of those 5 dollar ones. paid 25 for the first one and 19.99 for the 2nd one.Just overall great product use it to charge my phone mostly but i can charge all kinds of things or multiple phones if i have a few different people in the car.I would recommend this product to anyone
