This is a quality charger. Well built and solidly made. Some aftermarket chargers feel and look cheap. They also don't fit properly in the 12V jack. This unit fits in the 12V jack snuggly. The chord has a connector on it so that the cell phone plug stays connected near the jack. Very tidy. It allows the chord to drape down out of the way. That is a nice feature. Another charger I have does not have that feature and I have about 2 feet of chord laying about scattered around the shifter and passenger seat. The glowing blue M is neat though gimmicky but it is subdued so that it is not distracting at night. The chord is a relatively heavy rubber and stays coiled tightly. As an added benefit the jack also fits my blackberry 7520.
