Manufacturer's Description
The easiest-to-use FM transmitter ever...
We've paired a powerful FM transmitter with an intuitive interface, so playing your iPhone or iPod on any FM radio (car or home stereo, boombox, whatever) is super easy.

Just plug iTrip into the dock connector, press the SmartScan™ button and you're set. SmartScan finds the clearest frequency to play your music through your car or home stereo speakers without hassles or wires. And Griffin's SmartSound™ button adjusts signal strength for the clearest sound possible. Use iTrip's three user-programmable presets to remember your favorite frequencies and recall them with one press of a button.

But there's more to iTrip than just wireless play. We've built in controls that let you play, pause, skip forward and skip back with a press of a button. And the illuminated screen scrolls track or podcast information even when your iPhone or iPod sleeps its display.

Absolutely Superb FM Transmitter from Griffin; Fantastic Improvement
I have owned the original iTrip for the iPod, I own the second generation iTrip (with Digital Display), I have owned the Griffin RoadTrip with SmartScan, I have used the Belkin FM transmitter, I have used a Kensington FM transmitter, I own the Harman/Kardon Drive + Play (which is hard-wired to the stereo's antennae) . However, this recent incarnation of the iTrip is without doubt the best by a country mile. To say it is superb by comparison is an understatement.

I took it out today to London, where every other FM transmitter has failed due to severe interference, but this iTrip handled it effortlessly. Also, the SmartScan is the best in relative comparison to any other Griffin iTrip.

I cannot recommend this iTrip enough. Also, for those people wishing to use it with an iPhone or iTouch can download the superb app from Apple Store for tuning etc.

Don't expect this to perform as well as an aux input, but for an FM transmitter in my honest opinion this is the best.

Convenient, but a compromise
OK, first the good news. This latest iTrip works marginally better than most of the other Griffin transmitters of recent vintage (not that that's much of a recommendation, I know). It also benefits from Smartscan, which works well, with an easy-to-figure user interface. And - and here's the thing - if you switch it to mono, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality and strength of the signal. It can deliver a really punchy sound, with very little interference, if you can live without stereo separation.

Now, the not so good news. Don't even waste your time trying to use it in stereo. The sound is weak and hisses like a steam train, even right next to your radio's aerial. The difference in quality between the perfectly acceptable mono signal, and the woeful stereo one is staggering. And feel free to skip the app your iPhone will encourage you to download when you attach it. It's pretty but it does nothing the iTrip itself doesn't do.

Overall, given that it's cheap (ish), it gets my half-hearted recommendation. It's certainly a better buy than the older corded iTrip for iPhone which is both expensive and useless, lacking as it does the essential mono mode. I tried one of those and promptly sent it back. This one, I've decided to keep. If you've no choice (eg no line-in on your car's head unit) and can live with mono (eg if you mainly listen to speech), you'll probably be happy with it.

Fantastic - Another Good One From Griffin
