Customer Reviews
Doesn't work with 2nd generation Zunes.
This kit works fine with the Original Zune (Zune 30), but it doesn't work with the 2nd gen Zune 80 (and most likely none of the 2nd gen Zunes). The AC and Car changer don't work at all, the sync cable will work with the Zune 80 to sync, but it will not charge your Zune while syncing. A closer look at this sync cable's dock connector shows that only 6 of the 20 or so pins are present on the dock connector, while the MS cables have all the pins. I'm guessing MS changed which pins of the dock connector are used for charging. This is disapointing because all of the MS Zune 30 accessories work fine with my Zune 80 but because the manufacturer of these cables saved a penny by not connecting up all of the pins like the MS cables, they won't work with the 2nd generation Zunes.
No thanks
None of the three cables that came with my order work. The car charger worked for about 2 minutes and hasn't since then. The sync cable doesn't even seem to be the right size, I practically have to force it on and off of my Zune. Another reviewer said that theirs has a brand name on it, mine are all blank. So I don't know if what is shipped isn't consistent with other orders or what. I can't complain too much with how cheap it was, just wanted to let other people know that it may not work.
Poor quality connection
The tolerances for the Zune USB connector must be pretty low. The cables that came in this package only worked some of the time. I found myself having to wiggle the plug and replugging my Zune multiple times before my zune started to charge with these cables.
In frustration, I paid the price for a Microsoft cable. Works every time, and I don't have to worry about damaging the connectors.
