Not good in NYC [Posted on 2008-12-15]
I tried this for my often commutes from NYC to central NJ. The theory is that you can select a new radio frequency as you move from one zone to another. However, the entire dial seems to be filled up in NYC, so any "open" frequency will be surrounded by another "real" station, and you are able to find an open one, as you drive, it invariably provides a short window of time before having to try find a new frequency. It just didn't work for me in NYC and immediately surrounding areas. The product it self seems fine, however. But I did end up returning it.
Best FM Trans ever made!!!! [Posted on 2008-12-17]
Even from the same brand products are not so great as the buddy here , works everywhere!!!! i tried all around, like 5. Just go for it
Excellent Product, just one word of warning [Posted on 2008-12-22]
This is one of the best FM transmitters I have used. I have tried several others but none compare in quality. The transmission is strong enough that even in large cities you don't get interference from other cars or radio stations.
My one word of warning, it will not charge the new 2nd Gen iTouch, but that seems to be common with many existing iPod docks since Apple dropped firewire charging capabilities in the new 2nd Gen devices.
GREAT FOR THE PRICE [Posted on 2008-12-26]
THIS PRODUCTS WORKS GREAT FOR THE PRICE... THIS IS MY SECOND ON AND THE SCREWS KEEP GOING UN DONE... NO BIG DEAL... BUT THEY WORK GREAT AND WILL KEEP BUYING IT
After using three different FM transmitters, this is the best [Posted on 2008-12-26]
I bought this years ago and it was a great product. I hardly ever had any radio interference, even on stations that had existing signals - as soon as I turned this on, the radio went totally silent and I could enjoy the music from my Ipod. Then one day I was being a bit of a clutz and leaned over my seat and cracked the adapter plug, which cut all the wiring inside it. Stupidly, I replaced it with a cheap Belkin transmitter from Wal-Mart. Bad move. I got interference everywhere, on any and every frequency. No matter where it was in my car.
Then I bought a Satechi 6-in-1 FM Transmitter. It worked better than the cheap Belkin one, but not quite as good as this Griffin RoadTrip one; furthermore, my 30 gig video Ipod weighed too much for it and it kept flopping over if I hit some bumps on the road. Satechi's trasmitters are not held by a firm plastic cradle like this one does, and even though you could screw the joint on the Satechi one really tight, it will eventually loosen up and fold over on you again. After multiple times of the Satechi brand flopping over on me, it broke completely.
Hindsight 20/20, I should have replaced my first Griffin RoadTrip with another one.
