3 out of 5 stars Useful, but not if FM band is crowded   March 2, 2010
P. Papaioannou (Athens, Greece)
This is a mediocre product overall. The base is quite stable, holding the weight of an iPhone 3GS without trouble, even on relatively bumpy roads. The menu is intuitive, with the basic functions (stop/ play, track forward/back, fm transmitter setting) easily performed. The autoscan feature was not always able to find the best (i.e. clearest) frequencies. When the the signal reception at the car radio is good, the resulting sound quality is OK (note that only music from the ipod application or sounds from other apps are transmitted, but not incoming phone calls- you will need a wired or bluetooth headset for that).

However, in a city environment it is very difficult to find a frequency range clear enough for the car radio to pick up the RoadTrip's FM transmitter without static noise. Furthermore, if such a range is found, the situation usually changes when the car moves only a few hundred meters. This means that constant re- tuning of the transmitter is required. I could only get clear sound for a reasonably long period of time when moving in a rural environment. Therefore, I recommend buying only for use in such areas.



1 out of 5 stars Just too fiddly   January 29, 2010
R. Gardler (Oxford, UK)
Three major problems:

- frequency changes every time it powers down thus you need to retune each time you set off. The RDS feature is useless because of the next problem.

- The auto scan often picks an unsuitable frequency (where there is already a weak station). This means once you are driving this station can get stronger and interfere with your signal. It also means the RDS feature can fail to work as the RDS signal identifies the radio station not the iTrip

- if you don't remove the iPhone before starting/stopping the engine the iPhone reboots (probably depends on the car you have)



5 out of 5 stars Brilliant pressie   January 21, 2010
Lynsey (Devon UK)
Although this arrived later than expected - the weather around Christmas time didn't help!!!!- this was received as a "Brilliant pressie". It does as it says and has made driving and listening to music safer for the recipient. I might even buy one for me if I ever get an ipod!

4 out of 5 stars pretty good product   January 13, 2010
Mr. Paul D. Couser (UK)
This product is good and outputs a great sound quality without interference from other radio stations. The only issue I have found is that every now and then the IPhone says that the accessory is not approved for use with the phone. You have to unplug the roadtrip from the power supply and reconnect to get it to work properly.
