Summary
Product Title: Griffin Tech. iTrip FM Transmitter
Manufacturer: Griffin Tech.
Power Score: 4.0 | 29 Reviews
Strengths: Very convenient, especially when travelling by car. Doesn't require batteries, very simple to connect.
Weakness: Manual could be more comprehensive. Occasional static. Ipod battery drains faster.
Overall, a great product, that streamlines very well with the iPod and looks great. I would definitely recommend it, especially for the price. The weaknesses are only minor inconveniences.
Strengths: Easy to use, Sounds pretty good, Looks pretty good, can choose from ANY channel on the dial.
Weakness: The setup was a bit more difficult than I expected. (I'm an itunes user, not a MusicMatch) The sound is good but not cd quality, a bit low in volume and there is static occasionally.
Overall this little gadget is pretty darn cool! The setup bothered me a little, since I did not have MusicMatch installed the setup just plain failed, why they would ship such a cool thing with an installation CD that does not support itunes is beyond me. Anyway, Griffin now has a fix for this on their website, just download the itunes support file. So, got it all set up and went into the garage...
Strengths: Seamless integration. Easy set-up. Chose from any station.
Weakness: Not CD quality. Underpowered signal. Almost as good as local radiostations.
Overall the iTrip is a great solution if your looking to listen to your iPod in your car. But unfortunately it isn't all it's cut out to be. There is a constant hum or high pitch noise in the signal. I think the fact the the iTrip powers itself from the iPod is great but it greatly reduces the strength of the signal. External power may be better. Aside from the weak signal and mediocre sound...
Strengths: easy elegant fit with IPod; all of my music on any ole' radio to share with friends or enjoy in the car-what a joy!
Weakness: sometimes problem with reception but overall it still sounds good
The Itrip is very easy to use. Had some initial difficulty with software because I am a PC user that uses Itunes and the software is preset that all PC users use MusicMatch. Problem was easily resolved though- clear instructions for PC/Itunes users provided on Griffin's website. Traveling in the car, reception is clear with some occassional difficulties- this varies though from city to city and...
Strengths: Very convenient, easy to use, and use anywhere there's a radio!
Weakness: Occasional interference and static, but still FM quality sound.
Out of all the FM transmittors currently available, this one is the best. I have tried the Belkin tuner, and I was unhappy with the results. After purchasing this one, I played with it for hours. It's great, you can hop into any car, tune in to the set itrip station like "89.7", turn on your ipod, and listen to all your music. Now it was worth it to download my entire cd collection into my new...
Strengths: Clarity is unbelievable!! The best part though is that it is wireless...don't have to deal with all that mess. Just plug and your good to go!!
Weakness: I too thought the manuel was slightly vague and it took a little while to find what station I needed to tune into. Installation was the most confusing. But not impossible and needs patience.
Overall I love the iTrip. I am a neat freak and love that it is wireless. Just plug and go. Does suck alittle more energy than normal but its not that bad and was expected since I knew it didn't take batteries. Installation took some patience and common sense - I manually transfer my files so I had to manually transfer the station files. The vague instructions are to thank for the extra time it...
Strengths: Looks nice, same color as iPod
Weakness: Massive amounts of static, difficult to match up with an available station, difficult to set station frequence, generally doesn't work
Maybe I live in an overly congested area, Northern NJ, but I cannot get this thing to work decently for more then two minutes. As soon as I find an available station and go through the tedious process of matching it up with the itrip and drive 2 minutes, I lose the signal. Even when it does work, which is rare, I hear tons of static and crackling in the backround. All and all I HATE THIS THING....
simply the best! ... I own and have tried Belkin's Tunecast and First International Digital's irock! (www.myirock.com) with my 40G iPOD. and then I bought Griffin Technology's iTrip ... the best $35.00 I have ever spent! ... what a pleasant surprise ... with the first two transmitters, I had given up on using my iPOD in my car. with iTrip, my dog (his name is Flash) and I will be enjoying our...
Strengths: Wide range of FM frequencies, lightweight, fits iPod form factor, no heavy power pack
Weakness: FM frequency difficult (or dangerous) to change while driving
I've tried different FM adapters for the iPod and this one is arguably the most elegant solution. The signal quality depends on the proximity of your iTrip to the radio antenna. It is also affected by how crowded your local FM universe is. The sound quality of the transmission varies and is dependent on how good your FM radio is. On some cheap FM car radios, the sound is tinny and is muted. On...

Griffin Tech. iTrip FM Transmitter
Strengths: Easy to use right out of the box (@ 87.9 Mhz); great reception
Weakness: Draws power from the iPod, requiring more frequent charging.
I switched from the Belkin transmitter which only had 4 stations to choose from, none of them ideal in my area. I was expecting to use the iTrip's setup disk to find and install a better frequency. But the manual said the iTrip was preset to 87.9, so I tried that without doing the setup. It worked great since there are no stations on that frequency. I've been using it at home and in the car for a...
