Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

You are looking at the coolest iPod accessory in the world. The iTrip FM transmitter for the iPod can play your music through any FM radio in your car, at a party, wherever the mood strikes you - and you have a radio.It's clear that the iTrip is made specifically for the iPod. This gives iTrip advantages over similar devices. For example, with the iTrip, you can have the cleanest possible signal - because you can choose any radio station on the dial to tune for the best performance possible. You do this by 'playing' special station codes directly from the iPod itself. Simple.Another advantage of the iTrip is that it needs no batteries - it receives its tiny amount of power from the iPod. The Original iTrip can even rotate out of the way to charge the iPod while still in use. No more batteries ever again. There's not even a power switch - just plug it in and go. It shuts off automatically after 60 seconds of silence - just like the iPod. The iTrip is the ultimate accessory for the iPod because it allows you to share the music and share the fun beyond your headphones. Don't leave home without it.

Sticks on a single station, basically rendering it useless - Reviewed on 2006-08-13

I'm giving up on my iTrip, like I had previously given up on my iMic (Belkin). It seems to have short-term amnesia and keeps returning to 88.5 anytime I try changing it to another (clear) channel. Even just pausing a song is enough for it to revert to 88.5. Generally it will let me switch to another channel a couple of times, switch back to 88.5 each time, and then after that it won't even acknowledge attempts to switch it anymore. Just fails to change altogether. 2 irritating strikes against cheap-o mac accessories for me.

Very good, albeit not perfect, solution - Reviewed on 2005-09-24

This little device has allowed me to use my iPod in my car that only has a CD player. Without it I would be stuck with only my CDs. Yes, living in the Los Angeles area is cause for frustration, at times, but I have found stations that work. No, the quality is not as good as a CD and I have learned to live with some fuzziness at points. But this is better than paying/installing a new stereo.

In terms of the problem of having the tuning frequencies playing on the playlist...it takes about 2 seconds to fix that problem by setting up a smart playlist to not include the iTrip stations.

This receives a four star rating because it does do what it claims to do...the only reason that I won't give it a five is that the transmitter does not shut off even when I shut my iPod off. If I don't pay attention then the battery gets drained and this is a minor annoyance.

Ok, what can I say. It's a first generation iTrip transmitter. It's alright, not a high of quality as the newer fancier ipods but it does the trick and gets the job done.

a little broadcasting gem - Reviewed on 2005-08-21

The itrip is pretty cool... did a nice job on a four hour drive I recently took. The only difficulty is that you have to keep changing the station as you drive through different cities, depending on the available frequencies for each area. They list the available frequencies for different areas on their website, but that's a heck of a lot of additional research to do just to listen to your music.

It's easy to set up otherwise. I'll keep using it until cars come standard with ipod inputs.

Who designed this thing - Reviewed on 2005-07-15

This has the worst interface.. look elsewhere. It is tightly integrated with the ipod but in a horrible horrible way. look for one that you can set the station external to the ipod and it stays. If you are driving and tryign to use this you will probably crash. I am not joking this is one of the worst designed products I have ever seen.
