iTrip dissapointment: Am I alone? — #1

Well, I bought an iPod, and iTrip to listen to my music on my cassette-busted 10 year old car radio. I must say, the idea just seemed totally cool: Transmitting from my iPod to an…

I've had great experiences with the iTrip. Where do you live? Obviously, with bigger cities, you'll have more noise. Griffin does offer an app to help you find the best frequenci…

I was also sorely dissapointed. I think that with the iTrip it is hit or miss.... Some people love it others hate it. I am thinking of buying a new iTrip or a different brand FM…

I had mixed success, and do prefer tape adapters over the iTrip. What really suxx is that most new rental cars do only have a CD / radio combination, w/o a tape player. The iTrip i…

You might just have a bad iTrip. Contact Griffin. I'm not sure if they are still doing it, but they used to send you a new one, as long as you sent them a photo of the defective on…

ThinkInsane is probably right, you got a bad one. Mine comes in really well. My girlfriend picked it up on the radio in her car twice when I was following her. Driving through Ve…

Yes, the iTrip is disappointing. But, it's still the best available solution for getting your iPod's music through a factory cd deck. If you have a cassette player, use a cassett…

The iTrip sucks. The power output isn't high enough so there is always crackling and interference. I now use a DLO all-in-one charger and FM broadcaster and couldn't be happier w…

I'm using one of these with my Shuffle. It was only $15 and it works very well. It's not spread spectrum - it's available in two models: fm 87.9 and 107.7, which are apparently onl…

I used it on a trip in the middle of nowhere (geographically, in northern FL) and was totally disappointed. I had to hold the iPod in a very specific way and place to stop the stat…

It's a little more work, but installing a car receiver that has an aux input will give you the best possible sound. I bought the JVC KD-AR560 (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Cqkysun.…

My iTrip sucks too. Reception is poor, quality of tranmission is garbage (very flat). Signal level is crap. And it won't change stations anymore no matter how much I try. Lucki…

I've had the iTrip here in central New Jersey, where I've been limited to 87.9, for a few months. The output, even with the iPod volume way up, is still rather weak and also crackl…

I am extremely surprised I have not heard anyone on here mention the XtremeMac Airplay FM Transmitter. I did some research before purchasing a FM Transmitter for my iPod and this …
