Simplicity is great, clear sound and finds unused radio frequency accurately. For $35 I think it is an excellent value. I would recommend to friends.

This transmitter works like a charm in my old car that doesn't have modern technology built in! The clarity is great and it is really reliable!

For a relatively affordable camera, this one is a great product. The zoom is far-reaching, and the picture quality is excellent, too!

Although I think this item is overpriced, I'm getting my money's worth because I haven't stopped using it since I bought it. I love that I can finally listen to music on my iPhone while I'm driving to and from work, and I like that it charges the phone, too. I live in a relatively small city outside of Little Rock and work in an rural area, so I easily found a station that plays the music clearly with minimal static. I downloaded the app that accompanies this product, but I haven't used it at all.

I've used 4 different brands of fm transmitters and Griffin's seem to work the best as far as consistency goes. However, this is the 2nd kind of fm transmitter from Griffin that I've owned, and I've noticed they don't seem to last very long. I've had this less than 7 months and already I am looking to replace it because the part of the cable that plugs into my ipod has broken. The Griffin itrip I owned before was a wireless one, that for some reason after about 2-3 months decided to only work occasionally. However, there's less static with this than any other I've used and it's VERY easy to find a station that it works well with. I make a 90 mi one way trip 3-4 times a week and I rarely, if ever, have to find a new radio station.
I'm hesitant to shell out another $70 for a product that I might have to replace in less than a year. Regardless, this has worked better than any other fm transmitter I've ever used, and I've gone through many. I guess I'll try out a cheaper one and if that doesn't work I'll buy this again.

I am very impressed with this product. I have an ipod video and an ipod nano and it works great with both. I use it everytime I am in the car and have never heard any kind of static. The sound is amazingly clear and it is very easy to find a radio station to play the ipod through.
PROS
~The long cord allows anybody in the car to control the ipod.
~The itrip itself is very easy to use.
~static free
~charger keeps ipod fully charged at all times
CON
~when you turn the car on/off the ipod automatically turns on when plugged into itrip.

I drive 5 hours from Cincinnati to Lansing, MI about once a month and nothing makes the drive seem longer than sucky music. So I bought this hoping that it would work and make my long drive more enjoyable. A lot of the reviews weren't good on this product, but I thought I'd try it for myself. And I LOVE it! On a 5 hour drive, I have to change the frequency because of static only 3 times. And changing the frequency can't be simpler. SO easy. And I love that when you turn off your car, it turns your ipod off too! Nothing's worse than getting back to your car and seeing that your ipod was on the whole time draining the battery.
My only problem with it is my car only has one cigarette lighter. And on such a long drive, I need my GPS too…which ALSO needs to be plugged into the cigarette lighter. (I felt so dumb once I realized this) So that was a little awkward, but it’s doable because most of the time I knew where I was going and didn’t need the GPS so I only turned it on once or twice. The rest of the time I was jammin on my IPOD with NO static!
I’ve used it a few times during my normal commute around Cinci, but my drive is never over 10 minutes so I usually don’t bother with it. The times I have used it I have not had any static problems. I’m not sure why other people gave it such bad reviews because I find this product to be simple, affordable, and works great!
