Griffin iTrip FM Radio Transmitter iPod car adapter

2Jun/090

Sitting in my car at 6.50am, listening to the Ibiza Annual 2005 on my iPod Touch. The sky is blue and the sun is out and I know it is going to be a funky house kind of day. But this Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter car adapter and charger has just made it even better!

I couldn't wait until tonight to test this, and this eBay Deal of the Day has come through in true colours.

I bought this product for less than £10 with free signed for delivery last week. Worth a whole lot more, I can truly say I got a deal. I was sceptical about whether this will work after some people shot down the product saying friends had used a similar item with little joy.

So back to this wonderful gadget. Basically it is a FM trasmitter that must have some radio broadcasting antenna that is powered from the cars cigarette lighter. It looks about the size of a matchbox. When connected to the iPod, it then scans the FM frequencies for an available clear channel.

Once found, reset you car radio to the same frequency and quicker than making a fresh mojito, you have the music from your iPod or iPhone coming out if your car speakers. Genius.

When driving long distances, should the FM frequency change, you can preset 3 frequencies for smoother music listening (apparently).

Am I impressed? Yes, so much so, that the shitty "cassette on a wire" is going to see the bin as soon as I can figure out exactly how to get the damn thing out of the stereo.
