    Anyone have experience with this product?

    Sounds ... valid, but I am not sure.

    Japanese snake oil. "Stabilizes" your cars voltage and grows hair on the hood of your car. They market it along with super heavy duty ground straps.

    I can direct you to $499 ethernet cables if these do not lighten your wallet fast enough

    Not spending enough on network cables? Try these! - Ars Technica OpenForum

    If you pretend that in a normal car, that the alternator speed depends on the engine speed and this somehow needed voltage stabilization, (which I am not saying it does) in a Prius there is no alternator and the 12 volt inverter has no relation to engine speed.

    And even in systems that need some kind of filtering/stabilization........the BATTERY serves that function quite nicely in most situations.

    Snake oil indeed.
