    Does not work!

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    After 10 minutes of trying to get this product to work, i was able to get a few faint signals which didn't last very long and sounded horrible with static. The iTrip is going right in the trash. What a disappointment!

    Works fine, actually sounds good but......

    • Written by from Jackson

    Falls apart. The wires are not very well secured to the unit. They are very easy to to pull apart during light and normal usage. It looks like, to save money and keep their margins they choose to not put anything to hold the wires in the unit. The more it's moved and worked the more pressure is put on the tiny circuit board and eventually the unit won't work without some annoying fidgeting. I've re soldered the wires to the circuit board inside the tuner twice in a year and a half. This second time I made the wires a little more secure using parts from some old headphones and electrical tape. Not paying 49.99 for another poorly designed piece of junk.

    Piece of $#!+. A big waste of money

    • Written by from Dallas

    It doesn't get loud enough. Lots Static. If the volume would increase louder I might like it. A big rip-off for $60. I want my money back. They should improve this product or remove this product from shelves. How is it that this product is allowed to be sold? I feel like I was robbed.

    Don´t buy this product.

    • Written by from Buenos aires

    Pros: charges the iphone (your own cable) / mono or stereo broadcast fot ipod / voice over radio for hands free on phone calls.

    Cons: none of them works fine, the reception is always noisy, and smart scan doesnt help much... (not many dials are free) i would love to get my money back...

    1 star cuz doesn´t let me put less...

    Worse than all the others

    • Written by from Memphis

    I've used other iTrips before, and they all sounded great. Unfortunately, when my new iPod touch didn't work with them, I had to get a new one, and one that could charge my iPod sounded great. Unfortunately, the sound cuts in and out, the static is awful, and the volume is so low that the speakers have to be turned way up to even hear the music. By the time it's loud enough, the static is too prevalent to put up with. Buy the regular iTrip or something else, trust me.

    Better than nothing...maybe

    • Written by from Manlius

    Better than nothing I guess but not by much. Pretty expensive piece of trash. I should have returned it right from the beginning but I thought I would play with it for a while...maybe it was me etc. Nope! This thing is lousy and I am sorry I wasted the money on it.

    Does not work

    • Written by from Weston

    Received this product Friday and sending it back on Monday. This is an expensive product to do a simple thing and it does not work - much worse than the older versions I have had. Why does Apple keep selling this product through their site? Why does Griffin keep making it?

    Eh, not the best.

    • Written by

    Yes, the reason I bought my car (2002 Buick Regal) was because the stereo system that came out of the factory was AMAZING. The only thing I never liked about it was the lack of an auxiliary jack. My husband suggested we bring his iTrip when we traveled so he could sleep (and not worry about changing CDs). Boooooo on both counts! I literally have to hold the iPod in one hand so the cord doesn't drag on anything and create distortion. You know how tiring that is, driving with one hand? On top of that, the sound quality kind of blows - I normally listen to music at about a quarter turn on the volume dial, and with the iTrip, I have to turn it up to three-quarters. Also no bass, all treble, and the vocals are always tinny.

    Works when it works, which is usually never.

    • Written by from Arcadia

    If you live in populous areas, like the others have said, don't even bother. I used this for a day and returned it because no matter which station it was tuned to, I consistently had static and interference on the frequency. Even after repositioning the device's transmitter, there was little improvement. Smart scan is useful if you're inert, that's about it.

    Great in the Middle of Nowhere

    • Written by from Verona

    If you live anywhere near a major metro area, forget it. Even the slightest radio signal will step right over this piece of trash. On top of that, it doesn't really fit into cigarette lighters well; you have to tweak it just right. Basically, this is just an extremely expensive and not very good charger. Maybe if you're in the middle of nowhere, this might work. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

    Horrible

    • Written by from Shakopee

    I bought this product as my first wireless for my car. I was so excited! But using it for the first time today, I became agitated at the constant stadic and like another reviewer said if it was not possitioned in a certain way, it still had the static and I could hear the radio station I was using.

    Great Product

    • Written by from Lethbridge

    I bought a Griffin iTrip over a year ago now and find it to be one of the best investments I've ever made. It works great, especially when travelling, though I do find that you have to scan for open frequencies, and adjust your radio accordingly.

    Static all the time!

    • Written by from Upland

    I have tried using two different types of Griffin iTrip products and neither work well! I can hear the music for a short time but then the static goes in and out. Plus if my iPod isn't in the positioned in the right part of my car I just hear the normal music coming from the radio. Not worth the money!
