I think I got the same one that you did. And for a iPhone charger/cradle/FM transmitter/Hands-free for the car, it works pretty good.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13234

It was <$27 (CAD) including shipping from my bank account via PayPal and I ordered it on the 16th, and it showed up on the 24th from Hong Kong. The bendy arm is good so I don't have to pickup the phone to change to the next song. FM works...better than I thought. Not fantastic but is completely able. The Hands-free my buddy said I was clear, a little like I was in a tunnel but he could hear me fine. It also has a nice tight squeeze with my Switcheasy CapsuleNeo case that I keep on my phone.

Only problems I had were if I left the phone connected in the car and turned the car off when I turned the car back on sound didn't work. To fix I just unplugged the minijack cable and plugged it back in. And once the FM station I previously used didn't work, autoscanned to the next one and it was fine. (I made a lot of short trips yesterday)

I did not hear any annoying beep that people were talking about, so that was cool. Basically, if mine broke tomorrow... I'd go buy another one.
Hmm no beeps on your side, so it's not really generic for the device to have that beeping sound, I find it odd.

Again, I am happy with my purchase. the only negative thing i can say is occasionally the sound output in finicky to the effect that it doesn't want to work sometimes. It has weird conditions like if the music is playing when i plug it in it won't work, and sometimes i have to really mess around with it for a few mins before it'll start working again. but overall a good piece!

Anyone know anything about this one?

Here's the youTube video about how to use it.

I was reading these forums and thought I'd shed some light about the above mentioned product.

The so-called "all-kit" and some other names they go by are all knock-offs of the original product found in that site:

Now if you look at the pictures, there is an actual embossing of the name (complete) which is the original product, I bought one of these a few months ago from them (this was well before the all-kit and was even sold, then started seeing these knock offs come into the market, I paid over $100 for it, the price has now come down, but i know one thing, there are no beeping issues and the item itself is decent for the price.

Anyhow, just thought i'd shed some light on the topic

Good luck in your finds!

The Canada Drive Safe product is working fine for me. I just got mine last week and its been able to play all my songs fine..the dely between the song fading to me being able to talk to the caller is pretty fast and there's no need for me to wait to speak. a bonus is the long moveable neck which makes it easy for me to place it where i want out of harms way. Just my two cents.

I was going to get the drive safe one, the youtube video from their ebay site, seems to have really good audio quality.

I was curious though, I bought the Speck CandyShell case, think it'd have a problem fitting in w/ it?
