Editorial ReviewImagine 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.

- WONT CHARGE NANO 4G, Lame support
I purchased a Road Trip with the "New iPod nano Adapter Included!",
only to find that the CHARGER function DOES NOT work with any
"New ipod nano" (4G).
I purchased this product with the clear intent to FM transmit, charge and cradle my "New iPod Nano".
I am very disappointed.
Of course, I expected to get what I paid for, and I requested remedy from Griffin.
I stated that this device will not do as the package claims, and I requested a full refund.

- Not for audiophiles, but very convenient!
I was very pleased with the quality of construction. Seems pretty sturdy and durable. Works perfectly as intended. There is only one negative, and that is the sound is not the full range. It lacks the depth and clarity of a CD by alot. My best workaround is to adjust the EQ on the ipod to the "classical" setting (although I listen to all kinds of music, mostly metal). Still, not perfect sound, but, hell, it was only $9.95, and at least I can get all my iPod tunes on my car stereo now! Overall, I'm... more info

We love it. Sounds great and much cheaper than at Best Buy. I shopped around and this is by FAR the best deal!!!
- 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 the same... more info
