2 Stars Griffin iTrip universal FM transmitter & charger
Very well designed product but functionality is not up to the mark. Transmitter turns off too quickly when audio level within a song gets low even if the volume level on MP3 player is set to full volume. FM transmitter is weak. Transmitting on regular frequencies is not worth trying (unless there are few stations in your area); turning on the international mode helps use the 87.7 frequency. I would not recommend this product.
2 Stars “new”? thats up for debate…
i bought this item, listed as “new” from “shopcell”. what arrived in the mail could hardly be described that way. i received an fm transmitter that was not in any sort of manufacturers packaging (unless thats how you describe a ziplock baggie) and came with “instructions” that appeared to have been xeroxed multiple times over. i have no way of telling if this item is actually new, refurbished or just used. there doesnt appear to be any cosmetic damage, and have yet to see if it even works properly. price aside, this was a most frustrating purchase. i guess you do get what you pay for. i use amazon less than some other online retailers but really thought they did a good job of managing their sellers. maybe i was mistaken.
4 Stars Decent product for the price
Overall I am happy with the product. I use 87.9 and it seems to come in pretty clear most of the time. If the song I am listening to is not strong enough, the unit tends to shut off automatically.
4 Stars Righly priced
The iTrip universal is not as good as its $50+ cousin but at 90% performance of the top priced unit is impossible to beat. Just find a quiet station and you will be enjoying lots of mp3 music. The 10% difference is due to inner city interference but if you live and work in the suburbs you will not notice the difference.
1 Star FM transmitter works poor in Sacramento with iPod Shuffle

Very difficult to get clear “open” signal – either with US or Int’l setting. I regret the purchase.
