 Excessive static August 5, 2008
Just an another person (St Louis MO USA)
This product's performace left a lot to be desired. The signal from the unit was very very weak and there was lot of static irrespective of the location of the cables and the unit. I find it hard to understand that this product has so many good reviews and bad reviews at the same time.
Very helpful gadget August 2, 2008
Robert M. Saxe (Rocklin, Ca United States)
I got this knowing full well that I may not have the answer to the problem of fumbling with earphones while driving. However, I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it works. It's not perfect and you will pick up some static from time to time but if you find an fm station without any traffic on it, it comes in clear enough to be very serviceable. I live in the Sacramento region of California where there are quite a few stations to contend with. It took me 20 minutes of driving to find a station that worked and I haven't changed it.
This is a good product. Be patient, set your own appropriate expectation and you may be pleasantly surprised as well.
 A fairly dissapointing product July 31, 2008
Dmitriy Babichenko (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
The transmitter is really weak - you have to keep it as close to the antenna as possible, otherwise you'll get a lot of static. The nice thing about it is that it charges your iPod.
Will wait to use it once I move to the suberbs July 26, 2008
sarahb (SF,CA)
It was has a very verly low volume and in big cities,you don't even want to try it.
You have to change radio frequency almost every second,it's distracting and the radio noise is just unbearable.It gave me a headach every time a used it,so now I'll keep it if we ever decide on a road trip(if gas got cheaper) outside the big cities maybe it'll work.
If you live in a big city,DON'T BUY IT!!!!
 Works well outside of the city July 24, 2008
Dsl Creative (Sacramento, CA)
This works well when you get outside of the city. In California it's kind of a hit or miss. I live in Sacramento and so if I use it while driving from Sacramento to the Bay Area it really doesn't work too well. There are just to many interfering stations to get a really clear channel. However if I head east or use it in less populated areas it seems to work just fine. If you live in a metro area you would probably want to spend the extra money and get a monster transmitter or something a little more powerful than the itrip. If you live in a rural state or area then it itrip should work fine.
