Don't Bother! I bought the Griffin iTrip Transmitter to use with a home stereo and in the car with the car radio. With the home stereo it just didn't cut it. Very poor sound reproduction even on a number of different frequencies. In the car it just didn't work at all. On the advice of a salesman in my local Apple outlet I returned the item for a replacement as he said it must be faulty, however the replacement was no different. Destined for the charity shop in the hope that it will work for someone else.
Much better than the later model Having purchased the 2008 version and found it not fit for purpose I exchanged it for this earlier model. I've used it regularly on 2-4 hour car journeys over a few months and have found it to be very reliable. This model is hassle free and just works. I also love the fact that it remembers your chosen frequency unlike the later one and doesn't turn itself off. Grab one of these while you still can!

Why only 2 stars then? Well first there is no way of saving your frequencies so you have to retune it every... more info
Would be a fantastic gadget if... ...only I could find an interference-free/quiet frequency on my car & HiFi radios. My car is a 2004 Honda Jazz SE with a radio/CD & I have a 30GB iPod video, so I bought this gadget with high hopes of listening to my iPod through the radio. I didn't expect the sound quality to be brilliant from my dealings with FM headphones, but (mistakenly) I thought that maybe a dedicated gadget might surprise me... it didn't. The gadget itself works just fine & is not difficult to use, but the problem... more info
