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.

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

 Must Have For Any iPod Owner January 7, 2009
For the record, I am a bit of a technological lightweight, so all I can speak to is my experience using this device. I have the very common 4GB Nano and wanted this device so I could listen to audio books on long road trips.
So far, it was been a wonderful experience. In just a few minutes, I had everything set up and mastered the simple operations. I have driven through moderately-sized US cities in Kentucky (Lexington and Louisville) and had no problem finding clear channels to use (although I did have a change a few times). I am eager to try the advice of others about using the IN Mode.
An added advantage is that I no longer have to take my laptop with me to charge my iPod when traveling places where I wouldn't normally take my computer. Even if not being used to play through the car's stereo system, the adaptor still provides the second feature of charging the device.
Use IN mode and you cannot go wrong January 6, 2009
I've tried many FM transmitters in the past and found them to be a waist of time and money. I was therefore skeptical, but desperate to be able to play my ipod in the car while commuting to work. Wow, I am so glad I took the plunge. This is a great device and has worked perfectly for me. As other reviewers have mentioned, the key with this FM transmitter is to use it in international mode (IN) and set to 87.9. It will not set to 87.9 if you do not put it in IN mode. I live just outside the DC area and have no problems with reception. Also, as an FM transmitter, it will work with the new ipod touch 2G, but will not charge. Still worth it to me.
Works great January 6, 2009
Works great, all I have to do unscrew my antena off the car so I can get no static.
works great January 6, 2009
This product is an exceptional buy, works great. Easy to use out of the box. No complaints.
Lovin iTrip January 6, 2009
I bought this product after reading the endless reviews...to be quite honest I was very skeptical...I am so happy that I bought this for my 2Gen iPod Touch,I live in St.Lucia and it works perfectly with very little interference. The only thing i can complain about is that when i switch the car off and turn it back on it does not continue from where it left off, you have to plug the iPod in again. Oh Yeah and it's not a charger at all. This is a recommended buy.
