Length of cable with car holder

I am considering buying this car holder from mobilefun:

HTC Desire Car Pack

I was just wondering if anyone had this dock and was able to tell me the length of the charging cable when comfortably uncoiled (I understand that it is a coiled cable).

My girlfriend's car is a Fiat 500 and the cigarette lighter is quite close to the handbrake compared to other cars and I am trying to work out whether it will be ok.

Thanks

It's probably almost 2m un coiled, easy to as there's very little spring. I use mine in my vauxhall corsa and mount it on the driver door side of the windshield with loads of cable left.

Is say the pack is ok not great but not a lot else out there at the moment.

Thanks. One of the cars I am looking to buy at the moment is a corsa so thats a great help.

Just out of interest, why do you say the pack is "not great"? Anything significant?

Its not Desire specific, would work with the majority of smat phones. I had an issue with the mount falling off the windscreen a couple of times, but I have to say I think this may be due to a dirty windscreen, hasn't fallen since I wiped it clean.

Overall it is great for my needs and at a price you can't really turn down.:)
