Summary: This product for verry old iPods
Comment: I bought this item about a week ago and I already regret spending my $1.20 on it. I bought this item thinking it would be for the newist iPod generation, but i was wrong. If you look at the picture closly, you will notice that something extra is comming outta the iTrip. This plug-in is for iPod with Click Wheel (the second iPod made). DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SECOND GENERATION OF IPOD!!!

Summary: There are much better FM modulators available now...
Comment: When I purchased this product many years ago, it was an amazing device. It was powered by the iPod itself and allowed frequency changes directly from the iPod as well.
Since then, FM modulator technology has increased by leaps and bounds. The iTrip produces a constant, high-frequency tone that's higher than most people's hearing range. Not mine, unfortunately. The iTrip also required special tone files to be loaded into your iTunes playlist to change frequencies. Not a big deal, but a little cumbersome.
Note that this product does not work with current iPods.

Comment: Disappointed it did not work well. Terrible sound! Invested in a more expensive option and love it. You gotta spend to get the best.

Summary: Perfect for your car
Comment: I drive a work truck, which only has an AM/FM radio in it, and the iTrip was exactly what I needed for my 4g 20gb iPod. As many have pointed out, the quality of it, can depend on your locale. You basically have to find an open frequency on your FM dial. I've been to a couple different cities with this, and the station 87.9 has always worked for me, with little problems.
I do seem to get overlap with XM/Sirius transmitters too (At least in my city, it seems they have found 87.9 to be a good channel for it as well) so I am forced into having to hear Howard Stern or something on the way to work if I'm next to a vehicle that has one. But I've found just placing my iPod in my lap, or resting my arm over it helps clear the signal to my own vehicle.
When the iTrip is working normally (which is the vast majority of the time), I think the sound quality is fantastic.
A lot of people have claimed that if you use the "shuffle" feature on your iPod, the iTrip stations you have to load will come up in it. But if your confident that the station you've chosen will always work fine, you can delete the playlist it makes. It will broadcast just fine, you just will not be able to change frequencies if needed.
I'm actually on my 4th iTrip, and I haven't had the software loaded since the first one, over a year ago. The new unit always just plugs in and picks up where the last one left off. I have managed to break the previous 3 iTrips by just being to rough with it, or simply dropping it.
I highly recommend anyone who has an iPod that will fit it, get this. At the price you can't beat it.

Summary: This version works the best!
Comment: This version of the iTrip works the best. I don't know what they did with the new versions that have the LCD. I have tried both that display the LCD, the one that docks on the top of a 4th generation Photo iPod and the one that docks at the bottom of 4th and 5th generation iPods. And they both don't work as well as this original version.
This original version you can clearly sit far away from the radio (about 30 feet) and have no static. Unlike the LCD counterpart that if you just are a few inches away, the signal starts to fail and gets weak.
I just ordered a few of this suckers, because the price is great! I originally purchased this version when it was $30+, but at these deals, it is good to have a few spare in case one gets lost or broken.
