Summary: Very Weak Signal
Comment: First off, I really wanted to like this device. It was everything I wanted. It has a tunable FM transmitter across the FM spectrum; charges, it has a cradle. I also don't know what to rate it. For me its a one star, but if you had a different car or lived in a less radio dense area it could be five.
I ended up returning it simply because the signal was too weak. I tried every free frequency I could find on a trip to Sacramento and in order to hear the iPod on any of them, I had to have it and the radio on full volume, which 1) causes a great deal of noise and distortion and 2) when you start picking up a radio station on that frequency blasts you out of your car.
I suspect this has to do with how my my vehicle (Ford Ranger) is built and where the antenna is relative to the lighter plug is. Bottom line is it simply wasn't usable for me. Some people said if you plugged in the head phones they acted as an antenna for the transmitter. I didn't find this to be the case. Ultimately I returned it and haven't gotten anything to replace it yet.

Summary: Save your money, buy an iHome instead
Comment: We bought this in anticipation of a road trip. My husband can not use it in his car because he gets too much static. We figured that we would be ok in our newer family car, but, I got so annoyed trying to find a station that it could work on driving through towns and down the highway, plus all of the static, that we ended up stopping and buying a $20 1Home to complete the trip. It worked great. I was very disappointed with this product.

Summary: Great product -- great price
Comment: I bought this little gizmo for my husband who had just gotten an ipod nano. We are completely illiterate when it comes to ipods and such. This arrived and we were trying it out about 5 minutes after ripping open the packaging. Super easy to install, easy to use and the sound quality only depends on how good the original track on the ipod is. Can't think of anything bad to say, although I did go to the Griffin website to make sure that this would fit his generation ipod, that was helpful too.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for city use
Comment: I am from the Philadelphia area and do not have a FM station without some interference. When using the best station I can find for use with the transmitter makes my ipod come in like a bad radio station.

Summary: How well does it work in a big city?
Comment: Living in Atlanta, I hoped that I could find a FM Transmitter that would work well in an urban environment. The Griffin Road Trip fits my needs as I quickly had the transmitter setup and working on frequency 96.9 - the middle of the dial! While I have yet to travel outside of Atlanta with it, I have been pleased with the simplicity of operation and the lack of static or interference from radio stations nearby on the dial. The one drawback, perhaps found on ALL FM tranmitters is the sound quality. While the sound quality suffers somewhat, it is certainly good enough to listen to for long trips around town (an hour or less).
