Editorial Reviews:

Imagine having a high powered FM Transmitter, an iPod auto charger AND a convenient iPod cradle. Meet RoadTrip, the only iPod and iPod mini car accessory you'll ever need.RoadTrip makes enjoying an iPod or iPod mini in the car convenient and easy. The RoadTrip plugs into any auto power outlet or lighter adapter and provides an adjustable cradle to charge and hold any docking iPod including the new 4G iPods and the iPod mini.The RoadTrip transmitter can then be set to broadcast iPod's music to any FM frequency from 88.1 to 107.9. Its backlit screen shows which frequency RoadTrip is currently broadcasting - and can easily be adjusted via buttons located directly on the front of the unit.Your iPod's audio is transmitted through the connected dock on the bottom of iPod. Not only is this a superior signal transmission but it also leaves the top of the iPod exposed for use with other iPod accessories like the Griffin iTalk.The RoadTrip is a great FM transmitter and car charger for the iPod in the car, but what makes RoadTrip truly unique is its removable transmitter module that can also broadcast music from a Mac or PC. The package includes a combination USB power and audio connector cable that attaches any USB equipped computer to the module. Users can then play their iTunes music, movie audio or presentation sound to any FM stereo close by.


User Comments about the Griffin RoadTrip FM Transmitter and Car Charger for iPod (Dark Gray)

Bad move. It worked better than the cheap Belkin one, but not quite as good as this Griffin RoadTrip one; furthermore, my 30 gig video Ipod weighed too much for it and it kept flopping over if I hit some bumps on the road. I got interference everywhere, on any and every frequency. Satechi's trasmitters are not held by a firm plastic cradle like this one does, and even though you could screw the joint on the Satechi one really tight, it will eventually loosen up and fold over on you again. No matter where it was in my car. Then I bought a Satechi 6-in-1 FM Transmitter. I bought this years ago and it was a great product.


Stupidly, I replaced it with a cheap Belkin transmitter from Wal-Mart. I hardly ever had any radio interference, even on stations that had existing signals - as soon as I turned this on, the radio went totally silent and I could enjoy the music from my Ipod. Then one day I was being a bit of a clutz and leaned over my seat and cracked the adapter plug, which cut all the wiring inside it. After multiple times of the Satechi brand flopping over on me, it broke completely.Hindsight 20/20, I should have replaced my first Griffin RoadTrip with another one.


THIS IS MY SECOND ON AND THE SCREWS KEEP GOING UN DONE. NO BIG DEAL. THIS PRODUCTS WORKS GREAT FOR THE PRICE. BUT THEY WORK GREAT AND WILL KEEP BUYING IT



I have tried several others but none compare in quality. This is one of the best FM transmitters I have used. The transmission is strong enough that even in large cities you don't get interference from other cars or radio stations.My one word of warning, it will not charge the new 2nd Gen iTouch, but that seems to be common with many existing iPod docks since Apple dropped firewire charging capabilities in the new 2nd Gen devices.



i tried all around, like 5. Even from the same brand products are not so great as the buddy here , works everywhere. Just go for it



However, the entire dial seems to be filled up in NYC, so any "open" frequency will be surrounded by another "real" station, and you are able to find an open one, as you drive, it invariably provides a short window of time before having to try find a new frequency. It just didn't work for me in NYC and immediately surrounding areas. The product it self seems fine, however. I tried this for my often commutes from NYC to central NJ. The theory is that you can select a new radio frequency as you move from one zone to another. But I did end up returning it.
