I've got a 2010 iTrip Auto, replacing a 2 year old Monster equivalent that just stopped working one day while playing.
The sound quality is somewhat better than the Monster, especially on the high frequencies.. I've been running it in mono mode, since a # of readers have suggested that, and it's been fine there.
The "scan" function to find unused radio station slots is pretty much useless. But fortunately, you won't need to use it.
If you have a car radio that goes below 88.1 (as does my civic's), you can put the iTrip into European Union (EU) mode, and it'll let you use frequencies below 88.1. I set mine to 87.9 and it's been great. No interference (there are no radio stations broadcasting there), so you get totally clear sound.
To put it in EU mode, use the Menu button to get to the Preferences screen, and then press the Reset key (leftmost) for about 5-6 seconds,until you see US or EU show up. You can then select EU mode and then you can go back to the frequency selection, and select 87.9 or whatever you want. For some reason, the new frequency didn't get used (even though it looked like it was selected) by the iTrip until after I unplugged and replugged the iTrip from the car power supply once. Since then, its been fine. The iTrip remembers that it's in EU mode and it remember 87.9, so you don't really have to change its settings again.
What's great about it: Good sound quality when there's no radio station sharing your frequency. International mode is wonderful.
What's not so great: No better than average in US mode; "scan for unused frequencies" doesn't work well
I would recommend this to a friend!

Griffin is ridiculous; I tried to get an item fixed that was under warrenty and they asked me to destroy it (only after telling me they didn't make the itrip anymore) then send them pictures of the chopped up apparatus for their entertainment along with a picture of where I lived, then after they proved it was real they would send me a replacement REALLY?! I also had to take pictures of the mess ontop of an e-mail that they sent me to prove it was real! I was completely befuddled, I really can't believe how unprofessional they were and I told them that, then they told me that those pictures were just for fun, I guess I don't have anything better to do then entertain the Griffin people.
So, I took the e-mail and the itrip back to Best Buy and they were also befuddled by the e-mail. They took pity upon me and replaced my Griffin item with a BELKIN and it is awesome. I will never buy another Griffin product with customer service like this.
What's great about it: Worked okay for a while
What's not so great: It is staticy, and quit working in a few months and Griffin didn't care even though it was under warrenty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you don't like this transmitter, I doubt that you will like any other on the market. Getting this transmitter to work well is all about taking the time to find a good channel that isn't tuning in to a station. If you just pick a random channel, you may end up with interference. I personally believe that people who have trouble getting this transmitter to work are the type of people that expect technology to just plug in & work with no human interference. If that is you, spend the money to buy a car stereo that plays your mp3 player. But for those of you that are comfortable looking for a blank station...this is a great buy! I will say that the auto-select button was not very helpful in my situation.
What's great about it: Price, Easy to set up, design
What's not so great: The auto select button

I was skeptical about purchasing an FM transmitter for my iPod Touch because overall for products from all brands the ratings were pretty low. This device is definitely plug-and-play and has been flawless so far. I will be taking it on a 2,000 mile road trip soon and hope that it continues to perform well.
What's great about it: Ease of use and performance
What's not so great: Seems little high priced
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this transmitter for a trip from NY to TN. It worked well throughout the trip and I rarely had to change the frequency. I found I would drive a few hours before needing to find a new frequency. I did use the smartscan feature when needed, and found that I would have to search a couple times to get the clearest signal. Overall I am very happy with the product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It keeps calling for me to go into the APP store. So my son set it up for me, i got home and connected it to my computer and an error message came up and now I had to re-configure and the icon is not on the I-touch anymore.
What's great about it: I dont know
What's not so great: something for simple minds to figure out!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've used 4 different brands of fm transmitters and Griffin's seem to work the best as far as consistency goes. However, this is the 2nd kind of fm transmitter from Griffin that I've owned, and I've noticed they don't seem to last very long. I've had this less than 7 months and already I am looking to replace it because the part of the cable that plugs into my ipod has broken. The Griffin itrip I owned before was a wireless one, that for some reason after about 2-3 months decided to only work occasionally. However, there's less static with this than any other I've used and it's VERY easy to find a station that it works well with. I make a 90 mi one way trip 3-4 times a week and I rarely, if ever, have to find a new radio station.
I'm hesitant to shell out another $70 for a product that I might have to replace in less than a year. Regardless, this has worked better than any other fm transmitter I've ever used, and I've gone through many. I guess I'll try out a cheaper one and if that doesn't work I'll buy this again.
What's great about it: less static, easy to find a station
What's not so great: cables suck and break easily
I would recommend this to a friend!

The main point to this review is the poor transmitter performance. All frequencies had major static issues. It is quite simply lacking the appropriate power to generate a nice clear signal.
Also, the iPhone app did not interface appropriately with the unit.
What's great about it: a nice idea
What's not so great: poor implementation, too much static
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
