Wirelessly sends music from your iPod to your car radio so you can listen on your car stereo speakers. Designed specifically for use in the car, large, easy-to-read backlit LCD screen affords quick, precise station selection and easy status at a glance. iTrip Auto uses the audio line out from the dock connector of your iPod and optimizes the output volume. Speaker volume can be controlled solely from the car stereo controls; you won't have to touch your iPod to adjust the volume level.

Great Buy!! Worth the money!!

"I bought this for my husband for Christmas, because he is frequently driving on business. I wish it was on sale when I purchased it, but its still worth the $90 I payed for it. We went from Longview, Texas to Gunnison, Colorado and only had to change the station maybe 5 times... which I would say is outstanding, and with the smartscan It was very simple. One of the coolest things is going through Dallas and Amar..." Read Full Review »

Decent Audio

"I purchased one for my van and one for my daughter's Honda Accord. It works pretty good in my van and poorly in the Accord. In my van the AM/FM radio's antenna is in the front windshield directly above the FM transmitter. In fact the closer the transmitter is to the windshield, the less noise I hear. In the Accord, the antenna is in the rear window, and we get the kind of noise you would expect from a weak s..." Read Full Review »

"This is not the fm transmitter to buy. First off, it allows to much outside interference, poor sound quality, this is the worst transmitter I have ever had. I know it's only a transmitter and it's through a clear radio station but I've had way better. Get the one from Monster, ICarplay Plus. Only co …"  Read Full Review »

The three stations that it came up with have a strong local radio station which created more interference than most other stations. Not so smart. I have tried every station and still I get static. It is like listening to a rad …"  Read Full Review »
