Advantages: Listen to your tunes through the radio!
Disadvantages: Runs off ipod battery.
If you're the owner of an apple ipod this gadget will get you soooo excited!!
I have owned my ipod for approx 1 year, my friend also has one. My friend had visited America and purchased an FM transmitter from the Apple store whilst over there. This was around a year ago . At the time, i remember thinking how much i wanted one, but i certainly wasn't visiting America to buy one!! She paid approximately £40.
I on the other hand was brousing Ebay when i came across the Griffin iTrip transmitter. 'Brilliant' i thought!! The item was much cheaper - £15 this was including postage from America! I couldn't believe it and ordered one straight away!!
Now, in the UK, this transmitter is illegal (supposedly!) Something to do with a Broadcasting law! Won't bore you with the facts as i haven't got them, and to be honest i don't want them!! - People do much worse than play a few tunes in the car!! Thats my excuse!! Hee hee
How does it work:
The iTrip is connected to the top of the ipod using the headphone slot. You then select an FM frequency on your sterio, this frequency should be unused. You then adjust the frequency on the iTrip to the same - this is made easy due to the digital display! The volume on the ipod needs setting to about 3/4, but the iTrip will automatically adjust the volume if its too high. Then....what you waiting for...get your tunes on!!!
Which models will the iTrip work on?......
3G, 4G, ipod photo and ipod mini models.
I did order one for my friend who has a video ipod...be aware the fitting is different and you are unable to use it.
So, i'm now a happy bunny driving to work listening to my favourite tunes. The iTrip can be used anywhere with a radio, its not just restricted to the car! Be gone with the cd's!!
Would deffinately recommend...but not if you're wearing a blue uniform!!
Summary: Be gone with the cd's cluttering your car!! A brill device thats affordable.

- 29/12/06 Please let us know about the sound quality. How often is the sound broken into by other transmitters |

- 21/04/06 You can buy all sorts of FM transmitters these days, most people I know with an MP3 have one from the car..I think that they are looking to change that arcane law about not transmitting FM frequencies though :o) Jo |
