Docking station for home improvement

After a long search and read many customer reviews I decided for this model. Value for money seemed to me to be here OK. I need the docking station for my iPod Classic 160GB.
So unpacked and enthusiastic about the optics we start one of the many missions for the existing IPod choose. Here helps a small leaflet. IPod Classic = insert no. 5! So use pure, Ipod docking and the first disappointment. The iPod is unstable, the insert shell can I save myself, because the iPod is only held by the contact strip. Optimistic as I try a different dish and see which application no. 4 (iPod Video 30GB) fits perfectly. The iPod is now supported by the bottom tray. So IPod back out and collected the next negative experience. Since the shell brings only 90 grams on the scale outweighs the holding force of the contact strip the weight of the docking station. So with both hands "undocking".
Here I am now arrived at the point where I was thinking to return the item back. Before that, I of course, tested whether the docking station in their actual function not yet appeared what. So clamped the cable supplied, on ITunes, synchronize, Wonderful! That for which I bought it, works. So keep it? (Perhaps it was imagination, or an emotional response, but I had the feeling with the original cable goes a little faster).
Next, test the headphone jack. Here it is worth noting this is not possible a volume control on the iPod. Video function remains untested.
A closer look at me now fell on the bottom tray does not engage 100%. I can move the use of minimally. After the other missions to test the same problem. Disturbs here about the protruding arrow? The imprint Front? the embossed number? So starting with the thing in the basement.
After wegfeilen of a few tenths of the plastic insert shell fits perfectly now. Thus it is for eternity there is equal glued. Thus, exchanges are excluded.
Well, if I can not change anyway, then at least improve. So split the part and first properly reingepackt weight.
Now after filling it brings over 300 grams on the scales and if I now my IPod now been draw
remains the docking station are in place and I am satisfied.

Conclusion: In order to synchronize it is recommended, as appearance and price is OK. 2 stars I pull from, as it comes in a Verbesserungswürdigem state.
