itrips

[Christophe]

I have an itouch and want an itrip for my car radio.

I tried one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Griffin-iTrip-FM-Transmitter-for-iPod- White-Nano-Video_W0QQitemZ120452769770QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ AudioVideoElectronics_PortableAudio_MP3PlayerCarKits?hash=it em1c0b8b67ea&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

It worked ok but wondered if you can buy better ones? Any reccomendations or are they all the same?

 

[Revels]

You don't have an iTouch.

Griffin are the best ones, but its much better to buy a cable and do it properly.

 

[Laura]

I have a griffin one, was a bit hit n miss in the clio but is spoy on with my iphone in the TT

 

[Needster]

My iTrip was hit and miss in my old clio, and in the new on too. It's pretty s**t TBH. I'd just get a one which plugs in the aux.

 

[Andy.]

I tried one of the FM transmitters and it was s**t. There are hardly any free frequencies around here, and you find one when you start off, only for you car radio to pick up a normal radio station along the way.

 

[Christophe]

What cable to i need for the aux? and where in the cd player does it plug into?

 

[Needster]

Usually in the back of the player, so you'll need to take the front off the CD player. Just google iPod aux cable or similar - it should hook you up with the details. Most people put them through their glove box, etc.

 

[Christophe]

is this basically it? Comes with charger and aux cable for car?

[Needster]

Yeah, looks about right. You can use it without the charger too, IIRC.

 

[Christophe]

ye but i assume it will drain battery quite quickly

 

[Needster]

Yeah, depends if you lock the Touch or not as, IIRC, it stays on when it's plugged in. Or mine used to with the iTrip at least.

I swear Florida Daz on here does some sort of lead thingy for them ? (i dunno much about it all though)
He might be worth speaking to.

 

[edryn80]

I have a Griffin cable/transmitter which works well for sale as my new motor has a dock. PM me if you want it mate, I think it was £30 ish new, will do it for £10 delivered. PM me if interested or I will put it on the for sale board.

 

[JD]

If you are transmitting the music so much of the quality is lost.

Dependant on the car that you have it is worth speaking to Florida Daz as he was selling an Aux cable that is compatible with a lot of the clio range.

 

[Coby.]

or try the Connects2 Products which MT Audio Sells.... Contact both memebers and see if either can help you

 

[Budgie]

Floridaz' cable was top notch.

Only a tenner, too, iirc.

Itrips, I always found were shite.

 

[SC03OTT]

iTrips and any other FM transmitters are shite I have found. I bought the cable of Floridaz and one of the Tune flex bad boys. Worked great. I sold the car 2 weeks later mind you, so it was a total waste of money.

 

[Scott S]

Does the back (or front for that matter, I haven't looked yet) of the standard head unit have an aid input? Sorry if it has been covered before but I'm on my iPod ATM and searching isn't that easy.

 

[Needster]

It's at the back, Scott. IIRC.

 

[Scott S]

It's at the back, Scott. IIRC.

Thank you. My m8 is a light and sound engineer so hopefully he'll have a male to male lead I can have for nowt.
