Product Description:
Imagine having a high powered FM Transmitter, an iPod auto charger AND a convenient iPod cradle. Meet RoadTrip, the only iPod and iPod mini car accessory you'll ever need. RoadTrip makes enjoying an iPod or iPod mini in the car convenient and easy. The RoadTrip plugs into any auto power outlet or lighter adapter and provides an adjustable cradle to charge and hold any docking iPod including the new 4G iPods and the iPod mini. The RoadTrip transmitter can then be set to broadcast iPod's music to any FM frequency from 88.1 to 107.9. Its backlit screen shows which frequency RoadTrip is currently broadcasting -and can easily be adjusted via buttons located directly on the front of the unit. Your iPod's audio is transmitted through the connected dock on the bottom of iPod. Not only is this a superior signal transmission but it also leaves the top of the iPod exposed for use with other iPod accessories like the Griffin iTalk.The RoadTrip is a great FM transmitter and car charger for the iPod in the car, but what makes RoadTrip truly unique is its removable transmitter module that can also broadcast music from a Mac or PC. The package includes a combination USB power and audio connector cable that attaches any USB equipped computer to the module. Users can then play their iTunes music, movie audio or presentation sound to any FM stereo close by. The RoadTrip is compatible with all docking iPods, including the iPod mini. iPods with FireWire ports on top (1st and 2nd gen) will not work with the RoadTrip.

- Great ipod fm transmitter
I found the 4030-ROAD RoadTrip to be great in almost every way. It is certainly much better than the iTrip.

My two feature complaints:
1. The RoadTrip should also transmit the title of the song for my car stereo to pick up and display. I have to dig the unit out of the arm rest compartment where I have it plugged into the recepticle to see the song displayed on the iPod screen. This can be dangerous.
2. When I shut down the car (and the power to the unit) it does not resume ... Read More

- Hit the Road, Trip
This device is a nightmare.

The bad dreams began the moment I opened the package and attempted to fit my 80GB iPod w/ video into one of the provided mating flanges. Turns out the only one that fit was for a different iPod and then only after some filing of plastic. And, of course, I had to remove the iPod from it protective neoprene wetsuit, which would have been very nice to have when the iPod fell out of the Griffin 4031-RDGC RoadTrip FM Transmitter and Car Charger for iPod (Charcoal) ...

- Works but difficult to use
I love that this product works great through the radio and charges the ipod at the same time. The thing that's most difficult is that my outlet is in an place that makes the itrip really inconvienent to use. It's extremely bulky and doesn't fit right. I actually had to give mine away.

- works with iPod touch
I have no experience with FM transmitters, I've been told to avoid them though because they usually suck compared to a tape deck, or aux in. That being said, my new (used) car doesn't have a tape deck, or aux in, just CD and AM/FM stereo. I did some research and found this one, while it doesn't say it works with the iPod touch, that's because it came out before the touch came out.
It does work with the touch, although the clear plastic holder is about a mm too narrow, so the fit is tight, but ... Read More
