Overall Rating: A-

Price: 49.00 – 64.00 Canadian

Great little portable device. Cables do not have to be carried around if you want to connect to multiple stereo’s. Griffin greatly improves the iTrip LCD over its predessors. The addition of the station selection knob makes finding a clear station a no hassle affair. The first iTrip lacked the lcd and selector knob that the iTri LCD model has. Instead it used a special playlist of mp3′s that sent tones to change the station. This was likely a source of confusion for users, andthus a reason for the high ammount of unfavorable reviews.

When it comes to matching the style of the ipod no one can touch Griffin, who has pay’s a close eye to detail.

iTripFor a connection to a home stereo I still prefer to use a dock over fm transmission. That being said, this is an excellent alternative if you cannot hardwire your iPod to your car/home. If you are planning to purchase this product, please be aware that you will have to invest some time in finding a good clear station. One station does not allways work on all radio’s, and can change while you drive depending on your location. I have been able to find a handful of reliable station for use while driving, and two or three that work really well with my radio’s in the house.If I had only one small nit-pick issue with this device, it would be to have more power. I do realize that the limiting factor is what it can draw from the iPod. So overall its a great buy, and hence, an A-
