iPhone 3GS owners beware of powered dock accessories

I’ve seen a few forum postings recently from people claiming the Belkin FM tuner kit is doing bad things to the 3GS. It is claimed that simply plugging a 3GS into these docks while they are powered will fry the dock port on your phone. The problem seems to only be for the 3GS so if you have a previous model you should be fine. The only one “confirmed” to cause this problem looks to be the Tunebase model, pictured on the right. This report could be nothing, but one user who had this problem stated it happened to multiple 3GS phones while working just fine with a 3G, so on the side of caution, be warned. If this is a true problem, then there could be other accessories that could cause the same results.
Anyone own one of these and used it with their 3GS? Post your results in the comments.
