Review on 📱 Griffin NA15005 RoadTrip Hands-free for iPod, iPhone & Smartphones - Black, Improved SEO-friendly Version by Matthew Outlaw

I've waited months for this car adapter for my iPhone to be released as my current Belkin TuneBase product, two of which work except for the LED digits. Burnout for everyone. The trunk strength seems to be sufficient for most applications. The adapter holds the iPhone but is slightly looser than the Belkin product - there may be some wobbling. I haven't tried Bluetooth mode yet, but the biggest issue with this device is the weak FM signal transmission. I bought two of these and each behaves the same. On SUVs and crossovers, the FM antenna is often not located near the windshield. Both cars have them on the rear window. FM is almost completely static unless I put my hand on the device, essentially turning into an antenna. In a car with an FM antenna in front, the signal strength seems to be sufficient. Through trial and error I found that it was possible to wrap a narrow wire around the top of the pole where it twists to connect to the base. It seems to be near the FM transmitter. This wire behaves like a passive antenna and the length of wire can then be positioned in the optimal position to optimize the output signal. I decided to wrap the wire around the antenna that goes to the back of my car stereo. So it's not really fully wireless - a user mod is required if you have a sport utility or your car's FM antenna isn't in the front. means it consumes 5W of power to power the entire device. There is no way a full 5W FM signal can reach an indoor antenna 6 feet away. I believe this may be a flaw in the electronics in its design. If this shortcoming is corrected, I would increase my rating to 5 stars. For now, buyers should be wary of you alpha users.
