This review is from: Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter for iPod (Black) (Electronics)
On my quest to find a FM Transmitter, I bought a different itrip from Griffin, but it did not charge my ipod nano 4th Gen. So I called Grifin and they told me that in order to charge my ipod nano 4th Gen that it needs to be an itrip with Smart Scan technology. So i returned it and bought this one, and i'm very happy with it.
1. This unit charges our ipod nano 4th Gen no problem. The ring of light on the cigarette lighter plug lights up red when initially connected denoting power to FM transmitter, then amber once the ipod is connected (charging), and then it turns green when the ipod is fully charged.
2. I have a sealed radio in my car so therefore don't have an audio input unfortunatley (2005 Volvo s40 2.4i) and so FM Transmitters are a way of life for me. Your not going to get the perfect sound quality from these like you would with a direct input, so check to see if you got an aux input in your car first and then just buy a charger and a double male head...Read more

I've bought many FM transmitters from Kensington to Monster to DLo. This one is by far one of the best ones I have used. Kensington worked well, but stopped working after about 3 months of using it. I had returned others because there was too much static. I like this one because it searches for the 3 clearest channels that you could use, a feature that many others FM transmitters do not have.

As soon as you plug this FM adapter into an iPhone 3G you get a message stating that it really is not and truly can never be an official iPhone product and if you would like to turn off every feature of your iPhone that makes it an iPhone (namely the phone) just click "yes" and your iPhone will go into the aircraft mode and pretend that instead of crawling around in South Florida traffic you are jetting off to Europe.
The first couple of times I got an abbreviated and less descriptive version of this message, conditioned as I am to doing everything Steve Jobs wants me to do if I am using any Apple product (and I have a lot), I said "yes, yes, turn off that phone feature."
This was a mistake you can avoid by careful attention to this review. Here is our little secret (and please don't tell Steve I told you). If you click "no", the iPhone works just fine. You will be able to receive incoming calls, incoming emails, and text messages from your kids who have fingers...Read more
