When I first got it, I was disappointed that it seemed like you could not transmit in the best frequency of 87.9, but then I figured it out:
To change it to international mode (with the frequency 87.9 and so forth) all you have to do is hold the preset button for about 15 seconds, and the US will start flashing. Then you just hit the plus or minus to change to international mode, and voila! You now have the much coveted 87.9 frequency! Since this transmitter will always be usable for any future mp3 player that I can imagine, (they are all going to have to have headphone jacks, right?) this means: THIS IS THE LAST TRANSMITTER YOU WILL EVER HAVE TO BUY! End of story. Get it. Now. 83 of 87 people found the following review helpful: By M and G (Dover, NH) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players (Electronics) As an iPhone owner it took months for us to find a FM transmitter that gave us the ability to use our iPhone's iPod music capability in the car. Yes, this item is compatible with iPhone. Please see pros and cons below... (reviewed updated 6/21/2008)
Pro: -iPhone and other MP3 player compatible (i.e. equipped with a "super minijack" headphone connection). Note: please don't confuse compatible with exceptional quality. -Will power the iPhone and I think it can serve as a charger for it too -Stores 4 pre-programmed stations -Long cord could connect to a back seat lighter, not just the front (nice for those of you who have a lighter/socket in the rear) -Acceptible broadcast strength, plenty loud as long as the iPhone volume is set loud. -Price is reasonable relative to others on the market -Buttons are flush with the front, fewer accidental button presses like I had experienced with my other (obsolete) transmitter -In...Read more 42 of 42 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players (Electronics) This device works really well... IF you change it from US frequencies to International as explained by Random Bimms in another review of this product. (Thanks Random!!) I was having trouble finding a clear frequency in the D-FW area until I found the secret of setting it to 87.8 MHz. Too bad this tip isn't included in the instructions. With the USB charging connectivity, this is truly a universal transmitter/charger. Don't lock yourself into a unit that is dedicated to a particular brand/model... this one works with all of them that have a standard stereo headphone jack and USB charging. |
