Convenient AND reliable 
2008-03-12
Seeing the variety of other ipod transmitter products out there, i chose this one because it was cheap, and there were no extra fancy digital displays with extra wires hanging, etc. It's just a simple plug-in unit. The compact design also makes it easy to just keep the iTrip plugged into your ipod without it getting in the way.
Another reason i decided to write this review is that this product is pretty reliable. My 2 year old son found this on my night stand and somehow it ended up in my laundry. It went through the washer and the dryer. I figured it'd be time to buy another one, but lo and behold, the thing still worked perfectly. I was shocked. This is a great product and you get can them super cheap here at Amazon.

Does not work, and am working with the seller to see what else I need to make it work.
Is not compatible with latest model of the Ipod Shuffle 2007-12-27
I bought this to go w/my husband's Ipod Shuffle. He has the latest version of the Shuffle, the one w/the click wheel. I was under the impression, based on the description of this product, that it would be compatible. Unfortunately it is not. Wish I had known before I went and ordered it.
Better than newer transmitters 
2007-12-10
I have an older iPod and used this iTrip with very few problems. I got a new video iPod and have not been able to find a transmitter to match this one. The primary benefit is that this iTrip will transmit on 87.9, which I have found to be the best freq to use anywhere I've been. EVERY transmitter since this one begins at 88.0 or 88.1, and that's where the radio stations start.
There are a couple of drawbacks that have been mentioned by other reviewers, but they can be overcome. If you have your iPod set on random shuffle, it may go to a different freq if it "selects" it during the random play. However, if you know anything about iTunes, you can select the frequencies in your iPod and exclude them from selection in shuffle mode. It's a simple setting in your iTunes. Another drawback is that it uses the iPod's power to transmit, but I have a cigarette lighter power cord and I simply plug it in when I use it. Problem solved.
Don't throw out your old iPod! I use mine with this iTrip in my vehicle, and my video iPod for everything else. Especially now that it's cheap ($7 I think) it's definitely worth the money.
This product for verry old iPods 2007-12-03
I bought this item about a week ago and I already regret spending my $1.20 on it. I bought this item thinking it would be for the newist iPod generation, but i was wrong. If you look at the picture closly, you will notice that something extra is comming outta the iTrip. This plug-in is for iPod with Click Wheel (the second iPod made). DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SECOND GENERATION OF IPOD!!!

Waste of money! 2007-07-23
Disappointed it did not work well. Terrible sound! Invested in a more expensive option and love it. You gotta spend to get the best.
Perfect for your car 2007-07-23
I drive a work truck, which only has an AM/FM radio in it, and the iTrip was exactly what I needed for my 4g 20gb iPod. As many have pointed out, the quality of it, can depend on your locale. You basically have to find an open frequency on your FM dial. I've been to a couple different cities with this, and the station 87.9 has always worked for me, with little problems.
I do seem to get overlap with XM/Sirius transmitters too (At least in my city, it seems they have found 87.9 to be a good channel for it as well) so I am forced into having to hear Howard Stern or something on the way to work if I'm next to a vehicle that has one. But I've found just placing my iPod in my lap, or resting my arm over it helps clear the signal to my own vehicle.
When the iTrip is working normally (which is the vast majority of the time), I think the sound quality is fantastic.
A lot of people have claimed that if you use the "shuffle" feature on your iPod, the iTrip stations you have to load will come up in it. But if your confident that the station you've chosen will always work fine, you can delete the playlist it makes. It will broadcast just fine, you just will not be able to change frequencies if needed.
I'm actually on my 4th iTrip, and I haven't had the software loaded since the first one, over a year ago. The new unit always just plugs in and picks up where the last one left off. I have managed to break the previous 3 iTrips by just being to rough with it, or simply dropping it.
I highly recommend anyone who has an iPod that will fit it, get this. At the price you can't beat it.
This version works the best! 2007-06-26
This version of the iTrip works the best. I don't know what they did with the new versions that have the LCD. I have tried both that display the LCD, the one that docks on the top of a 4th generation Photo iPod and the one that docks at the bottom of 4th and 5th generation iPods. And they both don't work as well as this original version.
This original version you can clearly sit far away from the radio (about 30 feet) and have no static. Unlike the LCD counterpart that if you just are a few inches away, the signal starts to fail and gets weak.
I just ordered a few of this suckers, because the price is great! I originally purchased this version when it was $30+, but at these deals, it is good to have a few spare in case one gets lost or broken.
hard to learn at first 
2007-04-20
The way this thing works it's a bit hard to figure it out but it serves its purpose.
