Amazon.com Product Description
The Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter with SmartScan wirelessly sends music from your iPod to your car radio so you can listen on your car stereo speakers. It combines Griffin's renowned FM transmitter technology with an integrated charger. Designed specifically for use in the car, the SmartScan function makes it easier than ever to find the perfect frequency. SmartScan scans the radio dial for the three best frequencies and saves them to the preset buttons. The high-contrast display is easy to read in any light, and the three-stage light ring changes color to indicate charging status. Compatible with iPod (4G, 5G), iPod nano (1G, 2G, 3G), iPod Classic, and iPod touch.

 Great sound! July 24, 2010
Dani
I love this product. I've been using it about a month and the sound quality is great. The smartscan doesn't work very well on my radio. The three stations it comes up with usually have a lot of static. However, I am able to find my own station that works great and haven't had a problem!
Works with the iPod Touch 3G 64GB July 23, 2010
J. Phipps (Collegeville, PA USA)
BACKGROUND:
I had been looking for a FM transmitter/charger that worked with my new iPod Touch 3G 64GB since my old adapter/charger did not function with the 3G. I also needed it not put any undue weight on my car's DC socket. My DC socket had been cracked already due to undue stress from the drink holder's location directly above the socket by the previous owner. So I couldn't purchase one of the holders that use a long bendable cable and the socket as a base.
PROS:
Charges and broadcasts simultaneously
Auto-scan for weak stations good for broadcasting a signal. (this worked fine for me unlike what other reviewers have said)
Auto pause when the ignition is switched off.
Great reception in my 98 Toyota Corolla
Relatively inexpensive
Plug and play with no obnoxious disclaimer from my iPod telling me I was not using an authorized device.
CONS
It broadcasts over FM and can't get better reception than FM provides, DON'T expect CD quality.
If you drive long distances you will probably have to switch stations due to interference at some point in the drive.
If you leave your radio on, when you start the car there is a brief 1.5 sec interval of jarring broadcast static while your device "remembers" what the last setting and station was. (Not a big deal but this did not occur with my old FM transmitter.)
Some cars have poor antenna placement or signal interference that will prevent ANY FM transmitters from working well.
 Piece of crap July 22, 2010

Waste of money. It quit on me after 2 months of use. Never worked very well to begin with. Lots of static. And not all that intuitive to use for such a simple device. I'm looking for something else. Would not recommend this product.
nice product July 21, 2010

Product is okay, but it does not charge an older modelIpod. Also the reception can be off at times. Overall though it is great for the price.
Bang for the Buck July 20, 2010

I am always skeptical about purchases I make online, they never seem to go my way. This time, however, I believe I hit the jack pot. After doing some extended research on an FM Transmitter, I decided on this model. I have a 96 Blazer still with the stock radio so it has no fancy AUX connection. I have to say it is the completely worth the money. Very easy to use and not bulky like other models. The only negative thing I can think of at this point is the volume. If you're the type to bump your music as loud as you can until your ears bleed, this is probably not the model you'll want. The volume is decent, at least for me. Other than that, there is no drawback on this model
