This is the Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands Free for iPod and IPhone model F8Z442. TuneBase Direct allows you to pick up a call on your iPhone while in the car, hands-free.

Using a 3.5mm cable, TuneBase Direct connects to your car stereo through the auxiliary input, so you can play the music from your iPhone or iPod while in the car. TuneBase Direct also charges your iPod so the battery doesn’t run out while you’re on the road. Compatible with the iPhone 3G and 3GS and all iPods that use a 30-pin dock connector. This item is brand new in retail packaging.
I've got one of these that I bought from Apple for $90 almost a year ago. The convenience is great, if you have a stereo with an Aux 3.5mm jack socket. BUT, whilst my iPhone 3GS in a Griffin Elan case fitted it perfectly, my new iPhone 4 with an Apple Bumper on it won't so it won't charge :-( Also, and this one may be specific to my car (a 2007 Volvo XC90) after a few months the plug that goes into the lighter socket stopped gripping tightly - it's got a rubber "flange" to hold itself in place which appears to have worn down - so now every time I turn a corner the whole thing falls to the left or right dependent on which way I turn. It's insanely annoying, because if you have a passenger in the car it falls over and smacks them in the knee. So, highly recommended as a great solution to get your iPhone / iPod audio into your car stereo (no alternator whining in my case) but highly not recommended for the cigarette lighter socket mounting solution. YMMV
