Review on 🎡 iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players by Griffin Electronics by Terrence Tucker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use but no reception

I bought this product from Revain to use in my 1997 Cavalier to play music from my Walkman E series 8GB flash player. Here is a summary of the results: Pros: Easy to use and works with any player. It has three presets to save the stations you're most successful with. The display is nicely backlit, although it only stays on for a few seconds. The cable/antennas are quite long and may need to be wrapped around the shifter on some vehicles. It's also really cool that it has a USB charger for your MP3 player. Cons: Well, you can probably guess from the name, but I haven't had much luck with the signal. It sounded pretty good when I bought it, but the volume on the player and stereo had to be turned up. I even tried the trick where you switch to international mode to access lower frequencies, but not in the cube. After about 30 seconds, the player will go into standby mode. It did for me even though the audio was coming from my player. So what happened when the player turned off? A deafening static noise filled the car! Whatever station I tuned into, no matter how I tuned into the station, this phenomenon repeated itself. Very disappointed. One more trifle - I had a cold winter in the forest. That means gloves are a must. Well, the buttons are too small to work with exactly. Again, this issue pales in comparison to the lack of sound, but it's still an issue.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Senior
