Customer Reviews

Simple and effective, 2008-09-08
I was concerned by some of the negative reviews which this product received previously , but am glad that I bought one and tried it out. Having been quoted around £350 to have an iPod cable fitted to a new car as an extra, I thought I'd try this out for size first.

Setting the device up is simplicity itself: plug the charger in, connect the iPod (or iPhone in my case), press a button to scan for available frequencies and then tune your radio in to this.

I was pleased by the quality of sound which I was getting, but this may depend upon the quality of the audio equipment in your car. On the radio of a fairly basic 4-year-old Citroen C5, it sounds as good as anything which is being transmitted by the standard radio stations.

It's a bonus to be able to navigate through tracks using the top of the charger, although the rocker switch is quite sensitive!

All in all an excellent idea, and a very simple gadget to use.

Completely worthless - don't buy it, 2008-09-07
What a waste of money. Poor sound quality, Inability to retain favored presets, need to rescan if unplugged, potentially dangerous as tempted to manipulate while driving , "RDS" Display did not work with my radio (not sure if this is an RDS issue but I can see the names of radio stations normally)

Conclusion: abandoned. Now just have to find the box and return the device.

The older simpler devices had excellent sound quality and simpler (safer) to use. You'd think they would improve especially sound and not take a step backwards

A step backwards in sound quality, 2008-09-26
Seamaster's review is spot on. I too have had several FM transmitters and looked forward to the improved functionality on this one. However, the FM signal it emits is weak, meaning the RDS information doesn't work half the time and there is a constant hiss on the sound that I don't get with the transmitter I am about to go back to. I also have a good knowledge of the three "best" frequencies to tune to, yet despite repeated scanning, this item never found any of them. Its a disappointment and I sent mine back.

Nice piece of kit, 2008-10-30
Excellent piece if kit for your iPod. Does exactly what it says in the description and i had it up and running in under 5 mins.

Presets reset each time it's turned on - it's a feature, 2008-10-08
The reason the iTrip Autopilot resets the frequency each time it powers up is a feature, built in to satisfy European law - apparently. This is from the Griffin support site:

Why does my iTrip change stations every time I use it?

If your iTrip was purchased in Europe, this is normal. In order to be in compliance with a European regulation designed to prevent pirate radio transmissions, iTrips sold outside of North America will change to a random station after each use.
