Sticks on a single station, basically rendering it useless 
2006-08-13
I'm giving up on my iTrip, like I had previously given up on my iMic (Belkin). It seems to have short-term amnesia and keeps returning to 88.5 anytime I try changing it to another (clear) channel. Even just pausing a song is enough for it to revert to 88.5. Generally it will let me switch to another channel a couple of times, switch back to 88.5 each time, and then after that it won't even acknowledge attempts to switch it anymore. Just fails to change altogether. 2 irritating strikes against cheap-o mac accessories for me.
Very good, albeit not perfect, solution

This little device has allowed me to use my iPod in my car that only has a CD player. Without it I would be stuck with only my CDs. Yes, living in the Los Angeles area is cause for frustration, at times, but I have found stations that work. No, the quality is not as good as a CD and I have learned to live with some fuzziness at points. But this is better than paying/installing a new stereo.
In terms of the problem of having the tuning frequencies playing on the playlist...it takes about 2 seconds to fix that problem by setting up a smart playlist to not include the iTrip stations.
This receives a four star rating because it does do what it claims to do...the only reason that I won't give it a five is that the transmitter does not shut off even when I shut my iPod off. If I don't pay attention then the battery gets drained and this is a minor annoyance.
iTrip for 1G iPods 
2005-09-12
Ok, what can I say. It's a first generation iTrip transmitter. It's alright, not a high of quality as the newer fancier ipods but it does the trick and gets the job done.
a little broadcasting gem 2005-08-21
The itrip is pretty cool... did a nice job on a four hour drive I recently took. The only difficulty is that you have to keep changing the station as you drive through different cities, depending on the available frequencies for each area. They list the available frequencies for different areas on their website, but that's a heck of a lot of additional research to do just to listen to your music.
It's easy to set up otherwise. I'll keep using it until cars come standard with ipod inputs.
Who designed this thing 2005-07-15
This has the worst interface.. look elsewhere. It is tightly integrated with the ipod but in a horrible horrible way. look for one that you can set the station external to the ipod and it stays. If you are driving and tryign to use this you will probably crash. I am not joking this is one of the worst designed products I have ever seen.
Excellent 2005-06-10

Won't work in a city! 2005-02-22
Dont but this product. Maybe if you live in the middle of nowhere it will work. But you have to find a FM frequency that is perfectly silent for it to work, and even then the quality isn't very good. In NYC or Boston, there are no stations that work well at all. I got this and thought it was awesome for about 5 minutes and then got extremely frustrated as the music sounds horrible on every station around here.
Great! 2005-02-22
The iTrip works super well in my car. I am 100% happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone. Listen, you've gotta read the instructions, take your time and make sure you understand how it works. You can't just plug it in and expect it to work. Take your time, for me it was playing around with it for a few minutes a day in my car before I became an expert. And now ... I'm good to go.
Works really well depending on your car 2005-02-17
I bought the iTrip fm transmitter in December and have had plenty of time to use it under a number of situations. I have also tried a number of other fm transmitters (long before the iTrip ever came out). In my parent's Lexus the sound is excellent. It took a bit of trial and error to find a good station, but once there it sounded great. In my Dodge Intrepid however which has the antenna on the rear of the vehicle, the sound often is poor unless I place the iPod in the back seat or back window. In other cars that I have tried it in, which have an antenna on the hood, the sound is generally very good. Overall I would definitely recommend the iTrip for anyone who wants to listen to the iPod while driving. It is compact, doesn't require batteries, and generally produces very good sound.
Don't buy from these folks

I purchased the iTrip but ordered the wrong one. I recognized that fact as soon as I opened the box and saw that it would not fit in the 3G model iPod I have. When I asked the process to return the item for a replacement, the company told me that because I had opened the shrink wrap, they would NOT refund me anything. That is ridiculous! This is the only company that I have ever dealt with who does that. I will NEVER buy from them again and would recommend that you do not as well. They are www.getyourtech.com
They told me I would have to sell it on Amazon.com rather than simply swap out the right product. I should have known since there is no way to contact them other than through email.
