I trip
Does not work, and am working with the seller to see what else I need to make it work. Is not compatible with latest model of the Ipod Shuffle I bought this to go w/my husband's Ipod Shuffle. He has the latest version of the Shuffle, the one w/the click wheel. I was under the impression, based on the description of this product, that it would be compatible. Unfortunately it is not. Wish I had known before I went and ordered it. Better than newer transmitters I have an older iPod and used this iTrip with very few problems. I got a new video iPod and have not been able to find a transmitter to match this one. The primary benefit is that this iTrip will transmit on 87.9, which I have found to be the best freq to use anywhere I've been. EVERY transmitter since this one begins at 88.0 or 88.1, and that's where the radio stations start. There are a couple of drawbacks that have been mentioned by other reviewers, but they can be overcome. If you have your iPod set on random shuffle, it may go to a different freq if it "selects" it during the random play. However, if you know anything about iTunes, you can select the frequencies in your iPod and exclude them from selection in shuffle mode. It's a simple setting in your iTunes. Another drawback is that it uses the iPod's power to transmit, but I have a cigarette lighter power cord and I simply plug it in when I use it. Problem solved. Don't throw out your old iPod! I use mine with this iTrip in my vehicle, and my video iPod for everything else. Especially now that it's cheap ($7 I think) it's definitely worth the money. This product for verry old iPods I bought this item about a week ago and I already regret spending my $1.20 on it. I bought this item thinking it would be for the newist iPod generation, but i was wrong. If you look at the picture closly, you will notice that something extra is comming outta the iTrip. This plug-in is for iPod with Click Wheel (the second iPod made). DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SECOND GENERATION OF IPOD!!! There are much better FM modulators available now... When I purchased this product many years ago, it was an amazing device. It was powered by the iPod itself and allowed frequency changes directly from the iPod as well. Since then, FM modulator technology has increased by leaps and bounds. The iTrip produces a constant, high-frequency tone that's higher than most people's hearing range. Not mine, unfortunately. The iTrip also required special tone files to be loaded into your iTunes playlist to change frequencies. Not a big deal, but a little cumbersome. Note that this product does not work with current iPods. | |
