 DO NOT BUY September 29, 2008
I bought this product from pc world and to date has broken 2 IPod nano's in the same way (yes you are thinking that I am a bit "special" to repeat this mistake again) but i would still advise against this product
Fantastic but one minor fault September 29, 2008
This is a fantastic piece of kit. i have used it over and over again in my car and have never had a problem with it. However i didnt realise that some ciggarette lighters are bigger than others and when i bought my new car the itrip struggled to saty in and produce a frequency. now one of my mates has to hold it while we are driving or when im alone i have to try and stick it to my dashboard to keep a signal. A minor setback but one that i can certainly live with as it charges your ipod while you drive.
 Best by miles. September 8, 2008
I recently got a 3rd Gen iPod Nano to replace my very old iPod mini. For that iPod I used one of the early Griffin iTrips that fitted in the headphone jack. It wasn't perfect but was the best I could afford at the time. Before that I had one of those cheap ones with green and red LEDs on it that lasted about a week.
For my new iPod I've upgraded to Griffin iTrip Auto, it's so good and so much better than my previous ones. It has presets, recharges your iPod and also has the clearest sound of all. It sounds better than radio, pretty much like a CD.
If you're in any doubt look no further. Basically it's more expensive than the others cos it's better.
 Note - must always be plugged into cigarette lighter August 28, 2008
After spending a while trying to decide which of the many iTrip variations would be most useful, I decided on this one as I thought it would give me the option to charge my iPod on the go as well as listen to my music. Well, in fairness to Griffin and Amazon, the item was delivered on time, and it works perfectly well - good clear reception and easy to set up. My only gripes would be that a) the power supply fits quite loosely into the cigarette lighter, and occaisionally falls out, and b) you must ALWAYS have it plugged into the cigarette lighter for it to work. I thought it would be optional, and that if it wasn't plugged in it would draw power from the iPod, but this is not the case - as soon as the cigarette lighter is unplugged, the whole thing turns off. Not a show-stopper, but if you also use a SatNav that requires power from the same socket, you're forced to either buy a 2-1 adaptor to get the extra socket, or choose between the iTrip and the SatNav. I didn't think this was at all clear from the product description, and if I had known I think I would have bought one that didn't require the power adaptor. Other than those points, as said before, it all works fine, so really I'm docking just one star for the product, and one star for the product description. I hope this helps other potential customers.
Not compatible with iPhone 3G! August 19, 2008
This product is not compatible with iPhone 3G. It does not charge the iPhone so if you use this in your car the battery on your phone will be flat in 30 minutes. Also, the signal is so weak my radio can't find it.
