Customer Review: save your $
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this same transmitter a year ago and it has worked great. My husband bought an ipod so I bought this same transmitter from amazon. It did not work! I live rurally and there are only 2 radio stations, my old one works great but this new one will not even block out the radio station to listen to the ipod. I sent this item back, thinking it was defective since mine worked so well. The replacement worked no better. I wrote to Griffin customer service asking them why this new transmitter, when put in my same old car, with my same old ipod, set to the same old station, would not work and they never got back to me. I would recommend saving your money. If you really want to listen to your ipod in your car, either get a new stereo that is mp3 ready, or get the ipod kit and have it hardwired to you current car stereo. This product as it's sold is a piece of %$#*!! It deserves 0 stars, but amazon makes you give at least 1.Customer Review: EXCELLENT!!!

I bought this for my 60GB iPod Video and am COMPLETELY satisfied! I have a 2004 Mustang GT with a stock radio in it and have no problem in the area I live tuning it to one station and having my music come through very clear. I do not hear static what so ever. Also I just got back from a 24 hour road trip where all we used was the transmitter and it worked wonders. We barely had to switch the station it was tuned to because the RoadTrip actually will over power any minimal station frequency that may occur. Even if I had to change it with it's complete range of frequencies it can transmit on it, it was very easy to find a new station to play on. It is really nice how it is able to charge your iPod while playing because then you can keep the back light on the whole time and is very bright and easy to see while driving late at night or when it is bright in your car. I would give my 100% recommendation for this product!Customer Review: Better than the iTrip
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to own a Griffin iTrip, but unfortunately it got stolen out of my car. So I had to buy a new one. While looking on Amazon, I stumbled upon this device. And by the looks of it, I thought that this was exactly what I needed! It mounts iPod in place next to my radio, which makes it easier to work with. Also, as with the iTrip, if I'm going up a hill, there's the danger of the iPod falling off of my dashboard. No more with the RoadTrip. Also, the sound is better than the iTrip, and there's little to no interference, and I live in Philadelphia, where it's pretty hard to find an empty radio station. So if you're out in the middle of nowhere, it's gonna be even better for you! Not to say the the iTrip wasn't a great device, It certainly came in handy for me. But I'm gonna have to say that the RoadTrip is a far superior product, and would recommend it to anybody looking for something like this for their iPod.Customer Review: You want me to what?

I bought this product and it was shipped out and I got it, all on time. I have no complaints about that part. It wasn't working and I sent an email to return it. I was contacted immediatly and had no problem. Then I did my review and gave them a 3 out of 5. I was honest in my posting,(at first giving a 3 out of 5) it was short and to the point. I was still happy with this seller. Until I received an email to my personal email address from this seller talking about changing or removing my posting because it made them look bad! I was really upset by that. I think that they have done this with other customers. That is why they are rated so highly. I think that you (the buyers) should look at the negative comments before you purchase from this seller. I will not be bullied into changing my opinion! And I dare them to email me another "please change" message again, because I'll report it. Again!Customer Review: Doesn't work in Infiniti
Summary: 1 Stars
Was very hopeful about this product to use with my iPod Nano (4G), but very disappointed. My CD player broke in my car (stuck CDs), and I bought this as a cheaper alternative to replacing the car's system. However, the unit will not even power on in my 2003 Infiniti G35. Another reviewer briefly mentioned that it wouldn't work in his Infiniti either, but I had chalked it up to being a fluke. Not so. Not compatible at all.
It did work in my husband's Ford Explorer, but the sound quality was so bad it is unusable, even on a clear radio frequency. I had expected it to be the same quality as listening to an FM radio, but it was far, far worse. Even with the volume cranked as high as it could go on both the radio and the iPod, I could just barely hear it, and it certainly wasn't enjoyable. Changing radio stations didn't work either.
I would not recommend this product.
