Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black) Reviews
It's great for such a nice price. It works pretty well for my car and Ipod.
This worked so well for me, it plugged right into my SUV and has such an easy interface.
the Griffin iTrip Autp FM Transmitter is fantastic. After reading some of the reviews of this product, the purchase seemed like a "no-brainer" to me. If your car isn't iPod-integrated, this product is for you. And I was correct.
I obviously gave up on it after one or two tries.I would rather be up to my ears in cd's than ever have to deal with that thing again. After a few minutes I was so frustrated and tangled up in cords that I found myself wishing that this monster of a device was bio-degradable so I could throw it out the window. From the second I plugged it in, I got nothing but static. This device is nothing short of audio torture. After adjusting it and moving it around I was able to get it to the point where I could actually hear a little bit of music over the static.and then I realized that I was in a car and I would eventually have to move.so the whole reaching accross the interior of the car and holding my ipod on the very front corner while I balanced the other part on my knee was just not applicable to me actually operating a vehicle(who woulda thunk it).
The volume is independent of the Ipod volume so you don't have to remember to turn the Ipod volume down after you use it in the car. Overall, it's a great product that is not very expensive, and works great. For me, usually to listen to music, I have to turn the car volume dial pretty high, enough that I have to remember to turn it down before switching to radio unless I want to hurt my ears.
If you're looking for a cheap but useful little device, and didn't want to spend money on a real in-car Ipod dock, this is for you. Cons. The control is small enough to hide somewhere so that it is inconspicuous. Even in Seattle, I was able to pick out a handful of stations that had nothing on for my commute. Having it charge the Ipod in the process is a bonus as well.
I bought this for my Ipod Video so that I can have something else to listen to if I get bored of the radio. The signal is strong and it sounds like it is from a CD player. Also, the plugin for the Ipod does not feel as well made as the ones that come with the Ipod. Pros.
Sometimes the response time when switching presets it not as fast as I would like, but this is a minor detail. I live in Seattle and drive a 98 Honda Civic.
