## Description

Product Description        Share your iPod mini MP3 collection with the world using the Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter that lets you play your iPod through any FM radio. The transmitter tunes to any FM frequency for the best possible performance and the battery-free design receives power directly from your iPod. It's great for listening to your iPod in the car. Includes CD-ROM and Quick Start Guide.          .com        .com Review The iPod mini has helped revolutionize the way people store and listen to music, but it's not particularly car-friendly. Unless your car stereo includes a cassette deck (increasingly rare) or an auxiliary input (more common among newer stereos) combined with the appropriate adapter, you simply haven't had the means to play your extensive iPod library through your car's speakers. Several companies, however, have sought to fill this void by releasing a product called an FM transmitter, which broadcasts iPod tunes via the FM airwaves. Griffin Technology is among the category leaders with its iTrip mini, a discreet little device that fits unobtrusively on top of the iPod mini. The iTrip mini isn't confined to car stereos--it plays on almost any FM radio--but because most home stereos and boomboxes have auxiliary inputs, it's most popular as a car accessory.Design and Setup The iPod mini is loaded with impressive features, but it's also an Apple product, which means that looks matter. A lot. And Griffin clearly recognizes this, because the iTrip mini is sleek and complementary. It's built to fit into the iPod mini's headphone and remote ports, from where its all-white body looks like an extension of the mini itself. Plus, the device measures less than an inch tall and exactly as wide as the mini, so it takes up almost no extra space--an important feature to people who value the mini's portability. The iTrip mini also works when plugged into full-sized iPods with dock connectors, but it doesn't fit as well shape-wise. Owners of full-sized iPods can buy alternate iTrips designed with their players in mind, including iTrips for 1G and 2G FireWire iPods, 3G and 4G iPods with dock connectors, and special-edition black iPods.  The iTrip mini is designed to broadcast to any empty FM frequency on your dial--depending on where you receive the best reception--but it's only configured to play at 87.9 MHz right out of the box. That means a little setup is required using the included CD-ROM and iTunes. Fortunately, the installation is painless and takes only a few minutes. The installer adds a playlist to your mini (through iTunes) called iTrip Stations, which consists of a series of short audio files that correspond with all available FM frequencies. Features and Performance The iTrip mini performs best when tuned to an FM frequency that plays nothing but static, with no audible words or music. Finding a good frequency is fairly easy, but it requires your full attention, so it's best to do so while parked. We tested the iTrip mini on three separate frequencies in a midsize market with varying success. The sound was generally good in two of the frequencies, less so in the third. This remained true whether the device sat next to the radio, in the backseat, or under a stack of newspapers. While driving through bad FM reception areas, the iTrip mini received a bit of static, but it usually passed in a couple of seconds.  The iTrip mini is designed more for convenience than elite audio performance, so listeners shouldn't expect CD-quality sound. When tuned to a clear frequency, it's about on par with the average FM station. If the volume is turned high, users might notice a slight hiss through the speakers, but engine hum and road noise will generally cover that up. However, listeners who value top-quality sound--especially people with expensive speaker systems that pick up every minor flaw--may instead want to add an auxiliary input to their car stereos to get the most from their iPod minis.  The main drawbacks to the iTrip mini are fairly minor, but will bother some users. First, the iTrip Stations playlist is stored as part of your overall music library, meaning the individual audio files can emerge during shuffle play--and the sound isn't pleasant. Listeners can remedy this by creating a new playlist with their entire music libraries minus the iTrip Stations files. Second, the iTrip mini draws its power from the iPod mini battery. This is actually both a plus and a minus, as it means you don't need to keep buying new AAA batteries every week, but you also won't receive as much power from each iPod charge. If this bothers you, consider purchasing an auto charger, which powers your iPod mini through the cigarette lighter adapter while you drive. Third, the iTrip mini isn't great for long road trips through crowded regions, because the available FM frequencies may change every 40 or so miles (or less), making it necessary to frequently retune the iTrip mini. On the flip side, it's great for long drives through the country.  Ultimately, the iTrip mini is a good value. The convenience will please iPod fans that have been clamoring for a way to play their music in the car. Audiophiles may want to look elsewhere, but most other listeners should be satisfied. --Rivers JanssenPros Makes iPod music library accessible to anyone with an FM radio Sleek design fits iPod mini perfectly Simple, easy-to-follow controls using mini's click wheel Sound quality is solid, though not terrific Cons Sometimes requires frequent retuning to find best FM frequency Hard to find good frequency in crowded urban areas iTrip audio files emit unpleasant noise when chosen for shuffle play, though problem is fixable What's in the Box iTrip mini FM transmitter, installation CD-ROM, user's manual.          From the Manufacturer        You are looking at the coolest iPod accessory in the world. The iTrip FM transmitter for the iPod can play your music through any FM radio in your car, at a party, wherever the mood strikes you - and you have a radio. It's clear that the iTrip is made specifically for the iPod. This gives iTrip advantages over similar devices. For example, with the iTrip, you can have the cleanest possible signal - because you can choose any radio station on the dial to tune for the best performance possible. You do this by 'playing' special station codes directly from the iPod itself. Simple. Another advantage of the iTrip is that it needs no batteries - it receives its tiny amount of power from the iPod. The Original iTrip can even rotate out of the way to charge the iPod while still in use. No more batteries ever again. There's not even a power switch -- just plug it in and go. It shuts off automatically after 60 seconds of silence - just like the iPod. The iTrip is the ultimate accessory for the iPod because it allows you to share the music and share the fun beyond your headphones. Don't leave home without it.Features and BenefitsTurn iPod into radio receiver Over 100 stations No signal drift Powerful signal Manage stations like songs

    Works Well
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2005*

I am enjoying using this very much. I live about 25 miles from a major metropolitan area, and experienced no problems while in the country/suburbs, but initially had some static closer to the city when using the "default" station. Once I added some stations to the iPod via iTunes per the included CD-ROM, I was able to choose a more suitable setting for multiple locations and haven't had to switch.Loading the extra settings is easy and you can choose just a single one if you know of a reliably "blank" station in your driving area, or load a bunch if you'll be traveling. You can change this option by checking or unchecking the stations in iTunes, just as you would for a song list you wanted to put on your iPod.I do not use my iPod in shuffle mode so have not experienced the noise/tones generated by these station settings in that mode. However, you can work around this concern simply by creating playlists for your pod which don't include the station settings.(...)A friend of mine has the MonsterCable transmitter, and he hates it in this area. He got a cassette adapter for his car instead. Bet he wishes he'd gotten this.OH, and this works great in the house over the stereos as well! Love it.

    Griffin iTrip is a waste of money
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2010*

Before I purchased this item, I knew it was probably too good to be true.  The FM transmitter looked really cool because it integrated with my iPod mini so well aesthetically.  That's where the positive attributes of this item end.Here is a summary of the negative attributes:- Programming this thing is terrible.  You have to load radio stations on the iPod as songs and it is a huge pain to set up.- This thing uses up your battery power very quickly on your iPod.- Because this thing works off of the iPod battery vs. a car charger, the reception is terrible.- Changing radio stations on the fly is not user friendly at all.I got rid of this within a week of purchasing it and upgraded to a Kensington unit that plugged into the cigarette lighter, lets you pick the radio station on the unit with a little lcd display, and charges the iPod while it is plugged in.Do not get the Griffin iTrip!

    Worked great on our road trip
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2005*

This is a great accessory for car travel.  Yes, you lose some sound quality compared to a CD, but you'll hear this only if you're using it on home audio equipment or parked in your driveway.  In the car, engine and wind noise easily cover any loss of sound quality.We just returned from a 2000 mile road trip and the iTrip was wonderful.  In rual areas there's no problem at all.  If you approach an area that uses your chosen frequency, you'll start hearing static and eventually the radio station will take over.  All you have to do is find a channel with no signal and retune the iTrip.  Granted its sometimes difficult to find a station if you're in a large city, but we were always able to find something that worked.  My only reason for four stars vs 5 was that it took some practice to learn how to change stations.  There were a few instances that I thought the thing simply didn't work when I had not tuned it correctly. Unfortunately it was sometimes difficult to see that I hadn't tuned it right.  Here's how we eventually figured it out...you find a station with static.  Using the iTrips instructions for tuning you select that station.  If the static doesn't clear up in about few seconds after tuning the iTrip, you probably didn't tune it correctly.  A digital indicator on the iTrip itself would be nice, but then again that would probably dictate a $50 price tag.Considering the price paid, I'm very happy with the product.
