Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter with Auto Dock Connector Cable Attach for iPod (Silver/Black)

Does exactly what it's meant to - transmit music through the radio at an acceptable level of quality. No complaints! Griffin comes through again.

I have had this product for a couple months now and I am impressed by the sound quality and ease of use. I really love the SmartScan feature which finds an open frequency for you with just one push of a button...The SmartScan is not always accurate in high density areas but works well enough.

I usually know the open frequencies in my city but I specially love this feature when I go out of town. New city, new radio stations and it can be pain to find a good open frequency. This is where the SmartScan can make your day...

The sound quality is good enough and its a worthy product for its price.

My newer old car doesn't have a tape player, only radio and CD... so only one way to listen to the iPod in it, via radio. To my knowledge anyway...
I had an old Belkin transmitter that finally bit it after extensive use. And with the latest and greatest from Apple, I was confused as to what to get to replace it. Did I want the most current Griffin iTrip that "supposedly" charged the iPhone 3G and played the iPod? Expensive. Finally, after much deliberation, I settled on this one. Got it on sale and it made it even more affordable. I figured I have an iPod, why worry if the iPhone can be used with it too? I mean, the iPhone will be the phone phone and I don't really receive or make calls while driving (not since the bluetooth headset broke), and I never seem to run out of battery after 10-12 hours driving long distance. So, the iPod is all I really need to get music, right? So I settled. And I'm pleased! I thought on a whim, I'll try plugging in the iPhone because I forgot the iPod in the house. After telling me it suggested I turn on Airport mode, which I agreed to, I had music and saw the battery charging! My 3G charges and plays with this Griffin FM transmitter!! Who'dda thunk? I'm loving it. I recommend it.
Yes, there's always going to be static-y noise interrupting as we live in a world full of radio waves and all those other waves and wires ready to pick them all up when they get close. Inescapable, I feel. But overall, I live with it. They're temporary annoyances. When they get too bothersome, I simply use the auto-search button and retune my radio and I'm good to go till the next town's waves interrupt again.

I had some concern about the unit because I had to place it near the shift lever, which is about 2 feet from the radio. It still worked fine. I used the auto detect feature to find an unused station and it worked fine after that. Occasionally as i drive 10 or more kilometers i have to change the channel by autoscanning again as i get a small amount of static, but otherwise works perfectly. Sure beats spending hundreds of dollars to rewire my radio, and it is really easy to use.

I love this product! The only thing I don't like is that I do not have the option to turn of the charging while using it. Other than that, It is great!
