Griffin iTrip Description

The first FM transmitter made specifically for the iPod, Griffin iTrip lets you play music from your iPod through any FM radio. Griffin iTrip needs no batteries. A must for any iPod owner. Convenient one-piece transmitter and charger.

The Griffin 9501-TRIPCB iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod combines Griffin’s renowned FM transmitter technology with an integrated charger. Designed specifically for use in the car, the Griffin iTrip Auto powerfully transmits clear music from your iPod through your car stereo, while the large, easy-to-read backlit LCD screen affords quick, precise station selection and status at a glance.

The Griffin 9501-TRIPCB is the most versatile Griffin iTrip to date, accommodating every dock connector iPod, including the iPod Nano and 5th-generation iPods videos. The iTrip Auto uses the audio line out from the iPod’s dock connector and optimizes the output volume, allowing speaker volume to be controlled solely from the car stereo controls, without having to adjust the iPod’s volume level. This unit features all the innovations of its predecessors, including selectable LX and DX modes for best-quality audio under real-world conditions, best-possible RF technology, and Griffin’s world-class industrial design.

The Griffin iTrip Auto is constructed with a built-in FM stereo antenna and a high-stability crystal oscillator with phase-lock loop control. This unit can operate anywhere from the 88.1 to 107.9 MHz frequencies, with a frequency response ranging from 50 Hz to 15 KHz, at a range from 10 to 30 feet. The 9501-TRIPCB is powered by an included 12-volt cigarette lighter power adapter that features an easily replaceable fuse through which it also charges your iPod. This unit comes in black, weighs 0.6 ounces, measures 0.49 x 2.84 inches (W x D) with a total length of 33.47 inches including the cord, and it’s backed by a manufacturer’s limited 1-year warranty.

Griffin iTrip Review

Good value, works as advertised. This device works exactly as advertised, it charges your iPod and broadcasts the audio on an FM frequency at low power. If you have no other way to use your iPod in your car (cassette adapter, line in, etc) this is a good choice, especially at Amazon’s price. The sound quality isn’t fabulous, but it’s as good as normal FM reception.

However, you need to be aware that this product works inconsistently between cars. I’ve had good luck with the Griffin iTrip in some cars (mostly American made rental cars), but couldn’t get it to work in some other cars (like my Infiniti). Before you buy, I suggest that you take a look at the Griffin Technology web site to see if other users have gotten this to work in your car. – By Joseph Adler (Mountain View, CA)
