    So, I purchased a new iphone 3gs (installed Navigon as my GPS) and I have a Metra Ipod adapter ($49 at Circuit City). I plan to use this setup as my primary GPS unit and music player in my truck. I planned to purchase a mount similar to this -

    Will the Metra charge my Iphone safely? Or, will it damage the battery/phone?

    True, unless your Metra states specifically that it charges 2nd gen iphones and touches, it will play but not charge.
