Good FM Transmitter with a Short Life

on February 10, 2008

Posted by: iowamike

from Coralville, IA

Well, My second ITrip Auto FM Transmitter just broke on me. That is the second one that broke in the last 6 months. The first time, the cable at the dock connector somehow came apart from the connector and stopped transmitting, but would still charge. This time, it just plain stopped transmitting, but still charges. Another thing I noticed is that the transmission is muffled when the transmitter is really cold (don't know if this is just a flaw with all FM transmitters, or just this one).

On the bright side, when it works, it works well. The signal is clear and static free, for the most part. One of the reasons I bought it is because it transmits on the FM 87.9 frequency, which is the least used FM frequency in the country, from what I hear. Also, the ability to charge the Ipod while using the FM transmitter was another big reason I went with this mode.

Overall, a good FM transmitter when it is working. If you plan on exclusively using the FM transmitter in a car, this is the right model, but beware, they don't seem to have a long life.

What's great about it: Good Reception, Charges Ipod, Transmits to 87.9 FM

What's not so great: Short Life

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
