Product Description
The iTrip remembers its settings for convenience. This compact, self-contained design makes changing stations a snap, perfect for use on the go.One of iTrip's innovative features is selectable LX or DX modes of broadcasting (an FM transmitter first). This allows the user to adjust for the absolute best possible audio under real-world conditions. iTrip's DX Mode delivers a noise level that's below that of a cassette tape adapter, allowing the music to punch through cleanly. The results are stunning.

No transmitter tops this one. I bought 5 of them for me and my friends and they are all working perfect. Most of other brands are disappointing.

I have owned this transmitter for a couple of years now and, although it's not the best way to listen to my iPod in the car, it works in a pinch. The only real problems I've noticed are: its drain on the iPod battery, its need to be really close to the radio, and the need to change stations periodically when on long roadtrips. For around town where I know the "dead stations", it works great. To solve the proximity issue, I slide the iPod (nano 3G) portion of the duo into my cassette deck - you can't get much closer to the radio than that! Of course, I've noticed some scratches on the back of my iPod from this, but that's no big deal. The transmitter is a perfect solution for the time being.

I used this on a very long distance trip (4,000 mile drive)in a truck going across the country. I used it primarily to play audiobooks from my ipod 160. It worked fine for the most part, but it constantly broke connection when going over hills, through valleys, etc. I would say its an okay situation when you got nothing else to turn to or the money not to set up a new stereo, but it certainly isn't going to give you the clarity and longevity of clarity you are looking for if you want a constant connection. Overall i give ti thre stars because its design is good because you can power your ipod while its plugged in, and it works about 60 percent of the time. So jsut to refresh: if your in a pinch and going far with nothing other than an fm radio and two cd's to your name, its worth the minimal investment until you can afford otherwise.

In my area, there are a few dozen FM stations, so I have lots of dead bands to select, right? Wrong. Both of my post 2000 vehicles have such sensitive FM receivers & antenna, they pick up signals on each and every band, even if it is static (Background noise from the Big Bang, in case your interested in that sort of thing.). This transmitter simply does not produce enough power (Probably limited by FCC regs.) to overwhelm the background noise. Ergo, hiss music hiss music hiss, etc.
Maybe in the desert, on a long trip, away from civilization, it might work.
