Amazon.com Product Description
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 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 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.

iPod Compatibility
iPod nano 1G, iPod nano 2G, iPod mini, iPod 3G, iPod 4G (Clickwheel), iPod Color, iPod 5G/5.5G Video

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Allows easy way to listen to your Ipod in the car, 2010-03-14
This worked well when I was in cars that did not have an Ipod connection. It is, however, frustrating to use in areas where there are a lot of radio stations (e.g., NYC). Also, when traveling from city to city, the available frequencies change quite a bit, so you have to change the settings. That being said, this was a great way to listen to my Ipod until I got a car with an Ipod connection.

I wanted a way to listen to my iPod Nano 3G in my 2007 car and thought I was out of luck. My car isn't old enough to have a tape deck, and that was all I had seen as a converter. Then I noticed a review for one of these online and decided to give it a try. It's super user-friendly and intuitive to use. Although the sound quality is not perfect it's "good enough for government work," and now I can bop along to my own songlists as I drive. I recommend it!

this product works...
be aware, though, of the location of ur vehicle's radio antenna...
my honda pilot antenna is in the rear side window -- about as far from the radio as u can get...
as a result, the limited transmission power of this product struggles to deliver a static free signal...
if the antenna is closer to the front of the vehicle, u'll love this product...

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Great product, although not all it's hyped up to be., 2010-03-04
Let me say that generally, this product works great for the features that work.

Pros:

Ease of use (very easy to find a clear station and select it)
Strength of signal

Cons:

Doesn't actually charge newer iPods/iPhones
Sometimes will just freak out and send shrieks of alien laser beam noise
Body is made of very flimsy weak plastic that can cause the electronic components to get shaken up easily.

I read Eric William's review and printed his instructions for relatively easy setup. As a result, I get great reception and sound. I store the adapter in my car's ashtray, with the cigarette lighter removed. I'm stuck with a cord to the iPod but it's a cheap solution!
