Griffin iTrip Auto Universal Plus Digital player FM transmitter / charger for car

Griffin iTrip Auto Universal Plus Digital player FM transmitter / charger for car

 

This product is called "auto" because it gets its power from your vehicle's 12 Volt accessory outlet. And it is called "universal" because it works with any portable audio device... more...that has a standard 1/8" headphone jack (including CDs, MP3s, cassettes, and yes, even iPod). Additionally, the "Plus" in this iTrip model is the ability to charge your player by means of a built-in USB port. Plug in your player's USB charge/sync cable, and you get to listen to your tunes while you're traveling, and arrive with a fully-charged player.

Full review
I bought this unit to play my ipod tunes in our 1994 Jeep. Setup was incredibly easy (plug into lighter, plug into ipod, tune radio, tune iTrip to same station).

Reception, however, is an entirely different story. The FM tuner is exceptionally touchy and whether or not you get the signal seems entirely based upon luck. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I had to unplug the unit from both the car receptor and the ipod, reset everything and try several times until it started working again - even though you could see the power light on, so obviously the unit was getting power and connected.

I'm greatly disappointed, and just hope that it'll work well in my Miata. It's a shame too, because the size, price, and ease of setup are incredible!
