Product Description:
Now compatible with all full sized dock connector iPods, including the very newest ones, the new iTrip follows in the tradition of Griffin’s iTrip line, with superior performance and innovative features that make the iTrip the most popular iPod FM transmitter in the world. The large, easy to read backlit LCD screen makes setting its digital tuner easy and intuitive. A convenient switch on the side of the iTrip makes it a breeze to select a broadcast frequency. iTrip remembers its settings for convenience. The compact, self-contained design makes controlling iTrip a snap, perfect for use in autos. One of iTrip’s innovative new features is selectable LX or DX modes of broadcasting, which is adjustable for the absolute best possible audio under real-world conditions. Even in large cities with lots of radio stations crowding the dial, iTrip’s DX Mode delivers a background noise level below that of a cassette tape adapter, allowing the music to punch through cleanly. Also, avaliable international mode allows access to lower frequencies. US mode limits tuning to those frequencies relevant to US stations. The result is no unnecessary scrolling through channels. Frequencies - 88.1-107.9MHz High stability crystal oscillator, phase-lock loop control Frequency response - 50Hz to 15KHz Operating range - 10-30 feet Dimenions - 2.45 x 1.43 x 0.9 inch, 62.5mm x 36.5mm x 22mm Weight - 0.6 ounces

Customer Reviews

works but not real well by D. Harris
If I had paid the full store price I would be very disapointed.

At the Amazon price, it is probably worth it. the unit seems to have very limited range. way less than 10 feet– it does not work well in the car even when I move it up on the dash near the anntena.

It seems to do ok if you place it right next to a radio. That can be useful since many small radios don’t have an input for an Ipod

Griffin itrip FM transmitter for ipod by Farley
We just love it. I have one and bought one for a gift. We use in in the car, and I take it to work and play the iPod of the radio. Everybody just loves the music we play.

Ok, but not great. by Barry Mitchell
I had the previous version of the iTrip until I dropped the iPod and the iTrip broke. Not realizing there was yet another revision past this one, this is the version I got (called 2006 on the Griffin site, I believe). I’d recommend the new version. You can’t use this with most cases that have any thickness around the bottom, because this one wants to be flush with the bottom of the iPod. They added space in the latest version. Also, because this one uses the dock, you can’t hook up your charging cable with dock connector while it’s in use. I had to buy a USB to USB mini-5 cable to charge it while the iTrip is in use (which i haven’t tested yet). It seems to work as well as the previous version as far as providing a decent (though not great) signal, and it will be fine for my daily use. But it looks like the newest version has some improvements.

Only good FM transmitter under $50 by W. Bone
I have tried pretty much every other wireless fm transmitter there is out there (and wasted a bunch of money in the process), and this one is definitely the best especially for the money. I have only heard ipods sound better in the car when somebody had a tape deck adapter or a car itrip by Belkin (the one that doubles as a mount for you ipod) [that one is really the best for the car, but it’s like $80]. On top of sounding good in the car, you can also use it anywhere there is an fm radio and it does not require batteries. This is why I believe that this particular item is the most practical for getting the job done. STAY AWAY FROM ALL OTHER ITRIP/FM TRANSMITTERS UNDER $50!!!
