Intl Mode,
This product is great if you know how to operate it in International Mode.
In the USA, no radio station is allowed to transmit a signal below 88.1 FM. So, 87.9 and 87.7 are clear enough to transmit a very clean signal.
To get this product in international mode, tap the “menu” button until the “preferences” screen comes up. Press the button labeled “reset,” which should be the one on the far left. You should now see a screen that say “reset” over the middle button and “cancel” over the right button. When this screen appears, hold the far left button (there shouldn’t be anything above that button). US should appear. Stop holding the button and press it a few times. You should see “EU” appear and “JP” appear if you keep pressing it. Select “EU” and now your itrip will allow you to transmit on 87.7 and 87.9, giving you the BEST audio clarity for ANY FM transmitter bar none!!!

|International Mode on the new Itrip,
The biggest issue with any FM transmitter is radio interference. I bought this Itrip after having read how they can be set to International Mode so that you can use 87.9 as a station (no US radio stations are allowed on that frequency, so hence no interference).
It was hard to find how to do this on the new Itrip, so here’s how:
Press the big Menu button on the right until you get to Preferences
Hold down the left button(reset)until you see it say US instead of reset.
Press it again to cycle through the international modes (US, EU, JP). EU is what you want.
Set the tuner to 87.9 on your Itrip.
Set your FM radio to 87.9 and enjoy interference free music from your IPod, IPhone or IPad.

|Good, but not great,
I read the reviews on here and was apprehensive about buying it after all of the negative comments. I went ahead and bought it anyway though, because I didn’t have any other options. And I do have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe my expectations were lowered, but it worked fine.
I used it on a road trip from Chicago to St. Louis with my iPod Touch and only had to change the station 2-3 times. Which on a trip that long is pretty good. It did work better out in the-middle-of-nowhere Illinois than it did in the city, but it’s definitely still usable. I only gave it 3 stars, though, because there is still static in the background. If you’re listening to louder music, it’s not noticeable, but if you want it to listen to smooth jazz, it’s probably not the transmitter for you. I have discovered that much of the static has to do with the placement of your device in the vehicle. Mine does best sitting on my lap, which is convenient for easy song changes. The 3 stars is also attributed to the fact that it slips easily out of the connection to the iPod. If you bump it some it comes undone.
I would recommend not using the smart scan. It usually suggests radio stations that are clearly in use in the area. It’s better to just start around 90.0 and work your way down with the tuner to find something.
All around, it does its job. There’s a little static in the background, but you are working with radio waves, so, in my mind, it’s to be expected. I’ve used it several times around the St. Louis and Chicago areas and it’s done well. It’s better than some of these reviews are letting on, but, admittedly, still not perfect.
