 Best FM transmitter for iPods on the market! January 7, 2006

After having bought the "Monster Cable iCarPlay Plus Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod" (and then promptly returned it because there was just too much static/interference), I decided to try the Griffin RoadTrip. First, I was shocked at the difference in sound quality between the two products. The Griffin sounds crisp and clear and there is NO static! I live in Boston and have set the frequency to 88.5 and have not had a single problem. Second, the Griffin is so much more convenient and easier to use because you just plug it in and turn it on (it remembers whatever frequency you used previously). No wires, no having to dangle my Nano around the rearview mirror just to get music to play (albeit with frequent static and a constant hissing sound in between songs), and I have a nice, solid, safe place to put my Nano that's right at my fingertips. My only caution is that the holder-adapter that's designed to fit the Nano will only fit if I take mine out of the leather "Marware" protective cover I bought to keep it from getting all scratched up (I have the 2G Black one). An easy solution (at least for me) was to keep my leather cover on and simply use the "larger" holder instead of the smaller "Nano-sized" one. Griffin conveniently provides two different thicknesses of padding to customize the fit for virtually all iPods (except the Shuffle, of course) so I just put in one of the pads and my Nano stays nice and secure and will never get scratched. I highly recommend the RoadTrip and am frankly, shocked that others have rated it so poorly. I love it and could not be happier with my purchase!
fits my iPod just fine November 26, 2005

I've talked to many people who have different adapters for their cars and I've come to realize that this is the best. It's a tad bit bulky but I would rather have something that's bulky and works great and is realiable.
Absolutely Wonderful! January 8, 2006

I just bought this Griffin RoadTrip for my girlfriend's 30G Video IPOD and it is amazing. After trying and returning 2 other FM transmiters, I was grateful to have found this one. The charcoal color perfectly matches the interior of her car and it snuggly holds her IPOD without any movement. I loved the fact that there were so many attachments to fit any size IPOD, I would highly recommend this product to anyone with an IPOD.
EXCELLENT!!! March 22, 2006

I bought this for my 60GB iPod Video and am COMPLETELY satisfied! I have a 2004 Mustang GT with a stock radio in it and have no problem in the area I live tuning it to one station and having my music come through very clear. I do not hear static what so ever. Also I just got back from a 24 hour road trip where all we used was the transmitter and it worked wonders. We barely had to switch the station it was tuned to because the RoadTrip actually will over power any minimal station frequency that may occur. Even if I had to change it with it's complete range of frequencies it can transmit on it, it was very easy to find a new station to play on. It is really nice how it is able to charge your iPod while playing because then you can keep the back light on the whole time and is very bright and easy to see while driving late at night or when it is bright in your car. I would give my 100% recommendation for this product!
Very satisfied with a good product. April 4, 2007

I did quite a bit of research on FM transmitters when I purchased my 30 GB iPOD. I read numerous reviews about many products and decided to take a chance on this product. I was a little worrried about reports of static and whatnot, but I am very pleased with my experience. Let's face it, static is an inherent problem with this type of product, but unless you have zero patience, then this product is quite good. Other reviews indicate that areas around LA are problematic, but I drove through midtown Manhatten with absolutly no static. I have rarely experienced static, but when I did, I simply changed the channel and it was gone. This is a good product that has and I anticipate will continue to serve me well. The extension that comes with the transmitter works well in different vehicles with different clearances. Hooray for Griffin Tech!!!
