In my humble opinion, this is the best accessory anyone needs for the iPod.
I am a long distance lorry driver, and I have had several different variations of this type of thing in the past. The ease of use and practibility of the iTrip is superb.
I travelled the other day from Liverpool to Rugby in convoy with my mate in the lorry behind me, and he could recieve the crisp , clear signal 400 metres behind me.
Anybody who finds a serious fault with this is obviously a musical purist, who would'nt listen to compressed music anyway.
Buy it, it's fantastic!!

Bought this after my good lady spotted the iCast I use with my iPod 80GB Video - she wanted something to use with her faithful iPod Mini.
Had it delivered to work and tried it out (well you have to don't you) on the journey back home.
Now I feel sick as a pig because it outperforms the iCast in every way.
The iTrip connects to the cigarette lighter socket and then into the dock connector on the bottom of the iPod. That way it takes its power from the car, charges the iPod and takes its audio feed all through a single connection. The iCast, on the other hand, supplies no power to the iPod and has a separate audio connection which takes the form of a 3.5mm jack plug that connects to the headphone socket.
The audio feed from the bottom of the iPod is independent of the iPod's volume control so there's no tedious mucking about with trying to get the level right and the sound's much cleaner. Bass performance is particularly improved - music tracks that caused distortion on the iCast had no effect on the iTrip.
Added to that the transmitter signal is much stronger on the iTrip and is far less prone to interference even when tuned to a frequency with radio stations nearby. This makes it possible to turn-up the volume on quiet tracks without having anywhere near the background noise experienced on the iCast.
I noted the comment made by another reviewer with regard to loss of quality when using stereo mode but I was unable to notice any difference.
The iCast is more versatile in that it can run off a battery and can be used with devices other than iPods. That said, my wife and myself don't need it for anything else so I'd rather have the ease of use and better performance associated with the iCast.
All in all I was expecting similar performance to the iCast so I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried the iTrip.
My next task is to order another iTrip......

What can I say..... tune into a bit of static on your car stereo, plug into your ipod, set the itrip to the same frequency as your radio...... ipod tunes through the stereo!!! That's it. Seriously easy to use - throw away your cd changer. This is the way forward.

Good, but not great
The product works fine, just as advertised, but the sound isn't the greatest, primarily because it has to come through the radio, so the bass is very low. Read more
