I`m considering buying an iPod because of iTrip. For those that don`t know, iTrip enables you to connect the iPod wirelessly to your car`s FM radio by hijacking one of the frequencies. Does someone here use this nifty tool? How lossy is it? I take it that it won`t have noize, but how is the sound compared to your cars CD-player?

I sell a few of these, and other brands at work.

The iTrip is probably the best (cheap) model I've used, but of course cause it transmits over the FM bandwidth it's gonna be very vunerable to interference, and the quality is also extremely limited. Well, when I say extremely limited, it's gonna have nothin on a CD, but if your satisfied with how your local FM radio station sounds I guess it'd be good enough.

Personally I'd look at wiring a Line In into your headunit man, way better sound.

Oh, well. I need to hear one before I get it now. There`s never any audio connectors in cars today

There are converter boxes that you can buy to integrate an Ipod into your car stereo. They typically run 80$ American. All you would need is a spare input into your stereo. They even allow you to control the Ipod with your stereo controls. The quality can't be beat. The Itrip is cool, but just like any other RF transmitter device, quality isn't as good and it's susceptible to interference. I’ve also seen people hook up an Ipod to a tape converter and it seemed to work pretty well.

I've just researched all this after getting myself an Ipod. They are freakin' great!

I use the ones that have a tape, which plugs into the headphone jack. They work great.

They certainly do! Bit fiddley though, and the quality is forever limited by the method of delivery.

Best to go a Line In, if you can of course.
