Not worth the money. [Posted on 2008-05-07]
Would not refer this product to anyone. Tons of static coming through. I've gone to the Griffin website, which lists the best FM stations to play through and still poor performance. Static constantly fades in and out. The display is nearly impossible to read in bright light. Two thumbs down.

This may be a brilliant device, it seems smartly made. However, for me it is almost useless. Living in Los Angeles (westside, venice) means there are almost no empty spots on the radio dial. Griffin has a a chart on their website with recommended frequencies. For LA they list 3, 2 of which don't work for me, there's heavy carryover from other stations. The third is OK 60% of the time. If you live in LA, definitely look into alternatives.
What happened to 87.9?!?! [Posted on 2008-05-08]
I had this product for a year and half and it worked great. Unfortunately it got busted up and I need a replacement. The new version I received was a huge disappointment. It barely could over power even empty bandwidths. This product was completely unusable in the city (unlike the old one) and lacked the ability to tune to station 87.9, which was the only reliable setting.
So disappointed! [Posted on 2008-05-08]
I am very disappointed in the amount of STATIC that I hear when this product is being used! I have tried every single station, position in my car, and volume and it is always terrible! It was too much hassle to return this item so now I am stuck with it. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to make the best of this product.

This is a really great product. I bought a second one to have on hand when riding in another vehicle or when using a rental car.
If you use the 87.9 frequency as others have mentioned, you will not have to change frequencies when driving anywhere in the U.S. Most car radios seem to allow you to tune the radio to 87.9.
The quick start guide does not tell you how to change the mode to International (International mode is required to have access to 87.9 on the iTrip). But if you hold the Preset button down for 15-20 seconds, it will eventually allow the selection of International mode.
If you set all iTrip presets (4 of them) to 87.9, you won't have to worry about the iTrip transmission frequency getting changed accidentally.
