This product for verry old iPods [Posted on 2007-12-03] I bought this item about a week ago and I already regret spending my $1.20 on it. I bought this item thinking it would be for the newist iPod generation, but i was wrong. If you look at the picture closly, you will notice that something extra is comming outta the iTrip. This plug-in is for iPod with Click Wheel (the second iPod made). DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SECOND GENERATION OF IPOD!!!
Better than newer transmitters [Posted on 2007-12-10] I have an older iPod and used this iTrip with very few problems. I got a new video iPod and have not been able to find a transmitter to match this one. The primary benefit is that this iTrip will transmit on 87.9, which I have found to be the best freq to use anywhere I've been. EVERY transmitter since this one begins at 88.0 or 88.1, and that's where the radio stations start.
There are a couple of drawbacks that have been mentioned by other reviewers, but they can be overcome. If you have your iPod set on random shuffle, it may go to a different freq if it "selects" it during the random play. However, if you know anything about iTunes, you can select the frequencies in your iPod and exclude them from selection in shuffle mode. It's a simple setting in your iTunes. Another drawback is that it uses the iPod's power to transmit, but I have a cigarette lighter power cord and I simply plug it in when I use it. Problem solved.
Don't throw out your old iPod! I use mine with this iTrip in my vehicle, and my video iPod for everything else. Especially now that it's cheap ($7 I think) it's definitely worth the money.
Is not compatible with latest model of the Ipod Shuffle [Posted on 2007-12-27] I bought this to go w/my husband's Ipod Shuffle. He has the latest version of the Shuffle, the one w/the click wheel. I was under the impression, based on the description of this product, that it would be compatible. Unfortunately it is not. Wish I had known before I went and ordered it.
I trip [Posted on 2008-01-12] Does not work, and am working with the seller to see what else I need to make it work.
Convenient AND reliable [Posted on 2008-03-12] Seeing the variety of other ipod transmitter products out there, i chose this one because it was cheap, and there were no extra fancy digital displays with extra wires hanging, etc. It's just a simple plug-in unit. The compact design also makes it easy to just keep the iTrip plugged into your ipod without it getting in the way.
Another reason i decided to write this review is that this product is pretty reliable. My 2 year old son found this on my night stand and somehow it ended up in my laundry. It went through the washer and the dryer. I figured it'd be time to buy another one, but lo and behold, the thing still worked perfectly. I was shocked. This is a great product and you get can them super cheap here at Amazon.
