Nice, I bought an itrip autopilot one year ago and I was very excited. Now I want to buy the roadtrip and an adapter to boost the transmitter range because the default is between 6 and 9 meter. What may I say :D I’m in love…

I would rate the iTrip as a 4 out of 10. It works in a pinch in the spring and fall, when you can keep the windows up and your car air system off, provided you don’t have any CD’s. But even if you have only one copy of the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil on CD, you should put the iTrip in the ditty box, because it won’t match up, even with 10000 songs loaded on the iPod. You can’t hear the damned thing unless you set your stereo to max. In fact, with the iTrip connected to the iPod, the iPod volume control doesn’t do a single blessed thing to the volume coming from your car speakers. It essentially has no volume control, and the your stereo simply will not amplify it enough to make it even audible unless you roll all windows up and keep the AC fan on low, which doesn’t work for me in mid-July. Don”t waste your money.

Help! I absolutely loath my Griffin iTrip with dock connector, for my iPod nano! While I may not be the most electronically savvy individual, I am no idiot. After reading pages of iTrip information and following directions, my iTrip is still extremely temperamental. I plug my iTrip into to iPod, play some music, turn on my car, tune to the selected radio station and hear nothing but silence! I have tried keeping the volume at 50-70%, turning on the car first, tuning to the radio station first and every other solution I could think of! What is going on? I just want to listen to music in my car. :) please help! :)

Before I got the itrip I would listen to my ipod through my Bose quietcomfort 3 with absoultely the best sound quality. With the itrip my car volume had to be way up and the sound quality sounded like a transistor radio. I’m returning mine because of the sound quality. Maybe I’m just spoiled after my Bose.

Any suggestions on how to transfer music to the ipod so that when you play in the car thru itunes you don’t have to have the car volume set to max and it still doesn’t get as loud as I’d like.

The new Griffin iTrip Auto model seem much better. Just recently got the new iTrip from myBoomBox in the UK. With the Auto there's no need for an extra car charger, it's really well put together and it works a treat.

I’m also giving on my iTrip, like I had previously given up on my iMic (Belkin). It seems to have short-term amnesia and keeps returning to 88.5 anytime I try changing it to another (clear) channel. Even just pausing a song is enough for it to revert to 88.5. After deceiving me into thinking I’ve “figured it out” again, it will switch back to 88.5 and subsequently not even let me change it again. 2 irritating strikes against mac accessories for me.
