This stylish car kit powers iPods via the cigarette lighter. There's nothing new about that, unless you count the clever addition of a fixed volume audio output, which means you won't have to fiddle with the volume controls on both the iPod and your car stereo. (The fixed audio-out works only on iPods with a dock connector.) But the SiK Imp doesn't stop there. It works perfectly with the SiK FireJuice 4 or 6, letting you connect your iPod to a notebook for syncing, while powering from the car battery rather than the notebook.
