Review: Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod
I’ve had the Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod for a little while and I really really like it. I did have to send the first one back (only bummer), but overall it is just right for my vPod.
Kills all kinds of birds: Before this combo unit, I used to have to plug in a power cord to the bottom of my iPod to charge it, and then an iTrip (last generation) to the top of the iPod to play tunes through my car stereo. This design solves all of that. One plug into the dock and I get FM transmission plus power. It makes a huge difference - I can take the headphones off my ear, plop the Pod on the passenger seat or wherever, and pick up right where I left off. A nice touch is that when the car is started or stopped, the Pod goes into pause mode, saving battery life. Either way, when I get to the gym, it’s freshly charged and ready to go. That’s key, since video massively drains the battery on the video iPod.
Good sound: Curiously, the #2 unit that I got sounds better than #1 (the one I sent back), which was a little too soft. Unlike the last generation of iTrips, this one doesn’t force you to mess with the iPod’s volume when you plug it in. Dock-based output doesn’t rely on the volume off of the iPod. Another time saver. Unit #2 does not pick up stray signals. Unit #1 did (maybe this is just my flukiness, just reporting what I found), so I’d be on the freeway and hear gospel in the next car over. No fair to Paris Hilton!
The first unit saga: This was not a huge deal. After about 3 weeks and a lovely trip from Miami to Orlando in a rental car with my friend Daniel where this thing saved the day,
