Have bought a few ipod FM transmitters for various cars for myself and my wife over the year and needed a new one recently to charge a new iphone.
I wasn't sure which one to get given less than stellar reviews of all of them. I have to say though that I am pleased with this one.
The auto scan function works quickly but I tune it manually into frequencies i know are free in my area and I have found the sound quality and signal strength to be very good. A nice bonus is that the transmitter recognised the name of the album being played on my iphone and transmits this as a station name on my car stereo - so rather than the stereo display saying eg "radio 4" it says "Cast of Thousands". A nice touch that was unexpected.
What I have found is that the quality of the sound is unsurprisingly a function of the quality of the stereo and the FM aerial in the car. I have a very good stereo in my vehicle and there is little or no background noise audible when in use, but my wife's car has a poorer aerial and therefore poorer reception from the Griffin. Helpfully there is a signal boost button which does improve the strength, but the sound is limited by the quality of the stereo. Haven't tried the App that goes with it as I don't see the need.
I wonder whether some of the poorer reviews on this product are a function either of a poor quality car aerial or otherwise FM congestion, neither of which of course can be solved by the Griffin?
Does the job for me and so far so good.

I have used this for several weeks and found it great to listen to audible books whilst on trips - the only problem I have found is that from prolonged used and carrying it in my coat pocket the wire have pulled out of the transmitter box and have now broken so I cannot used it - I will buy another but will strengthen the connection to the box

It works well. I was a bit sceptic, if it would work with the iPhone with the Apple Bumper on. But it does! No need to remove the Bumper. Just plug it in and tune your radio to the right frequency. If you find the best position for the fm transmitter, the audio quality is also pretty good. Of course that also depends on your radio. But overall a good product and good value!
P.S.: The iTrip app also works on iPhone 4 (iOS 4.1). I read sometimes that it would not work, but it does.

Useless
Very poor sound quality, this product is just useless. Don't buy this, you will regreat, you will use only the car charger. Very disapointed.
