Digital camera reviews of Griffin RoadTrip FM Transmitter and Car Charger for iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: Don't like RoadTrip.
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband and I bought the RoadTrip at the same time we bought our iPod in December, 2005. At the time it cost $90! It wasn't worth it AT ALL.
It never stayed put in the outlet. No matter how securely we put it in, it always rolled to the side, thus disconnecting the iPod. If we encountered any sort of road that wasn't completely smooth (eg, railroad tracks), it would disconnect. THEN to top it all of, it COMPLETELY quit working after about 13 months - just over the factory warrenty. nice.
I'd never give it another try and never recommend it to anyone else. Poor quality, even if the price has come down.
Digital camera Review: Don't waste your money

I've given this gadget enough trial and error and am still unhappy with its quality. I have tried it in suburbs, rural no man's land and urban centers (I travel everyday all over the map for work) and it constantly let's me down. I read before that it transmits at a quality somewhere between FM and AM broadcast quality . . . It's definitely closer to AM in my opinion. Bass is totally gargled sounding and high end produces a very annoying mid-range that kills the best of my rock ipod tunes and minimizes all the immensity of Thelonius Monk and other Jazz monsters . . . don't waste your money, unless you enjoy the archaic sound of AM broadcast, which isn't so bad if you're listening to NEWS, but music, uh-uh, this transmitter is abhorable. Maybe there's nothing better out there, it seems like a difficult technology to master, but I guess I'll have to spend some more money in hopes of finding a more dependable transmitter. Thumbs down!Digital camera Review: Don't waste your money

I bought the new Roadtrip to replace an older model that had lasted me two years. I don't know what Griffin did, but the new Roadtrip works horribly compared to the older model. I tuned it to the same radio station that I have always used and got poor sound quality. I had to turn the radio volume all the way up just to barely hear the music and the static was horrible. I am very disappointed with the product and am returning it ASAP. I used the Roadtrip to avoid paying to connect my iPod to my auxiliary jack on the car radio. Looks like I will just go and have it installed after all. I am done messing with the iPod radio transmitters!!Digital camera Review: EXCELLENT

I bought this for my 60GB iPod Video and am COMPLETELY satisfied! I have a 2004 Mustang GT with a stock radio in it and have no problem in the area I live tuning it to one station and having my music come through very clear. I do not hear static what so ever. Also I just got back from a 24 hour road trip where all we used was the transmitter and it worked wonders. We barely had to switch the station it was tuned to because the RoadTrip actually will over power any minimal station frequency that may occur. Even if I had to change it with it's complete range of frequencies it can transmit on it, it was very easy to find a new station to play on. It is really nice how it is able to charge your iPod while playing because then you can keep the back light on the whole time and is very bright and easy to see while driving late at night or when it is bright in your car. I would give my 100% recommendation for this product!
