 Constant Static Overlay March 9, 2010
GimpsPig (Actionville, NC)
With this product I finally decided to just get a new deck that I can directly connect my MP3 player to. The constant static hiss laying over my music no matter what radio station I picked just proved too much. This is a problem with all products of this nature, regardless of price, brand, or over-all value. From what I hear, a few years back the things actually sounded good but due to instances of travellers getting other people's music beamed into their cars, manufacturers were forced to lower the power on these products. It's not worth it . . . get a new deck, or, if you're lucky enough to still have a cassette tape layer just buy yourself one of those tape thing-a-ma-jiggies what plugs straight into the headphone jack and goes in the tape-hole. Never thought I'd write that . . . tape-hole.

If there are strong radio signals changing rapidly, it cuts out, which is a hassle. If you're patient, it's a good buy.
Not what I expected. February 1, 2010
R. L. Carder (TUCKER, GA, US)
The item is okay but has problems. The Griffin Roadtrip provides holders for each modle of i pod. It worked great with the ipod classic 3rd generation. The i pod nano 5th generation I just bought it does not work well with though. The adapter would not slide in the griffin roadtrip properly and cracked when I gave it some force. With both of these I pods I got an error message saying that the Griffin Roadtrip could not charge the equipment because they were not compatable. That is a drag. The reception is okay depending on where I am traveling. I would not recommend buying it through this seller. I had only 7 days to return it if I did not like it but I ordered the I pod nano at the same time and it did not arrive for 2 weeks. So, to conclude, the equipment is only okay but cracked when assembling it and does not charge my equipment as I expected it to.

I bought a Griffin RoadTrip and the FM transmitter wasn't working. One week later the charger stopped working. I tried to get in touch with Griffin and they never gave me a response. I received a credit from Amazon. I would not recommend the RoadTrip to anybody.
The Flaw in FM Transmitters January 7, 2010
Zack Coblens (Louisville, KY)
FM transmitters just have bad sound quality, and that's really my only gripe; t was a huge problem sometimes. I tested three different models, and the one above is smarter and easier to use than the others for sure.
