I first delved into the world of iPods a couple of years ago. I'm the sort that generally doesn't follow technological trends and tend to steer clear of spending a lot of money on a product if I don't really need to. My partner - fortunately or unfortunately (I've yet to decide) is the opposite....always looking for new toys to play with and keeping up with new trends so when he upgraded his iPod touch to a larger capacity he generously donated his original iPod touch to me and over the last couple of years I've become very attached to my iPod touch. Now I used to be terrible for having CD's lying about the car - in every nook and cranny you would find cd ...  Read the complete review

The Griffin iTrip Autopilot is one of the latest FM Transmitters for using your iPod/iPhone in your car. These devices have been around for a while and Griffin are probably the market leader.

If you are on a longer drive you do need to keep retuning as obviously as you get into different areas ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the Itrip with my ipod. I would give this product a mixed review. The idea is you find an empty radio station on your car radio and then tune the itrip to the station. This is very simple to do - literally just use the menu buttons on the itrip to make sure the stations selected on this and on your car stereo are the same. This works fine in my town as I have found a station that is completely blank and has now interference, however when going on a long journey you tend to start getting interference about 15 miles away from home - then obviously need to find another station - and retune the devise - this is fine if you have a passenger who can do this for  Read the complete review
