I was think tonight that maybe we should all create a section on the site that lists Itrip stations that we know to be strong in certain cities. Many of us struggle to find a good signal in the larger cities, so it would be good to log on and see that in such and such a city, the strong signal is 93...

Ok, can someone tell me if the iTrip relies on the iPod's remote control interface (the exterior ring around the headphone jack) or if it simply works off the headphone jack?If it doesn't need the extra communications or power draw from the remote interface, could it be used on the end of...

Being the spaz that I am I ordered the backup battery pack off the apple web site without carefully investigating first. So what I want to know is - Has anyone had any luck hacking the belkin battery pack to work with the older ipods? Can it be done? Apples website says all sales final on non apple...
Wow, I got so excited to think that I could wirelessly play my ipod at home/car/work, WRONG. The guitars and instruments come through nicely, but still with some of annoying static, but the vocals almost don't come through all. I have tried every setting on the Belkin FM Transmitter, even stat...
check this link out http://www.ulshofer.de/ipod-remote-eng.html A wireless remote....very tech, but who really needs it? I don't even use my remote (I just sold it). What do you recon?
Got a local crafstman to make me an iPod stand ( http://johnpauldavis.org/archives/000322.html).
But I have the NEW iPods...What the Freak!!!I thought it would work fine..Wrong...Anyone else didn't know that?
I spoke to my local Apple Store and they are not 100% sure if buying a dock for the 3rd Gen iPod means it comes with a firewire cable.I want a second one setup for my PC, the one I got with the 30Gb model is going to be a permanent input to my hi-Fi.Has anyone purchased a dock, does it come with a c...
Boy, there's lots of buzz about the iTrip. I read some of the reviews, and a lot of it sounded like Griffin PR in disguise! I am not an audio expert, but here's my two cents: How I got it:I ordered my first iPod (20g $299) from MacWarehouse along with an iTrip on Saturday. I always buy...
I finally got some pictures up of how I installed my iPod in my Accord. I love the setup and it is all hidden from view. http://www.ee.byu.edu/~jtb8/iPod/index.html (36 pictures) Scroll to the bottom to see how the iPod is actually hooked up.
Hi ..does anybody know if the current iTrip (the one made for the old iPods) will work on the new ipod if I file the firewire plastic bit down..Basically I can't be arsed waiting for the new iTrip, so i thought i'll buy the current iTrip and then sell it when the new iTrip comes out.Has an...
I made an Ipod remote holder that mounts to the shifter in my Lumina. It?s formed with epoxy putty that has a headphone jack in. So the remote has no modification to it and can be removed in about a minute. The head phone jack is purely to hold the remote. Placement is actually VERY handy; I looked...

Has anyone been able to find a good frequency in Los Angeles. There seems to be a radio station on every other frequency.
I emailed Griffin Technology to find out when the iTrip for the new iPods were coming out. Somebody emailed me back and told me to give then a call to pre-order it.Needless to say....I called up, pre-ordered the iTrip and found out that they will probably be shipping in Mid-July:mad: But ......I was...

What is that little plug next to the headphones jack on the 3rd gen ipod? What is it used for, thanks.
Can you please tell me or give me some ideas on what headunit I should buy? Mine doesn't have an auxillary or anything that I can use to direct connect it so I'm gonna buy a new head unit. Do any of you have any suggestions as to which one i should get? Thanks for any replies.
I just received and installed an iTrip on my 20 gb winpod. I'm in Baton Rouge, LA and it looks like I have several good frequencies that will work here without interference. I have a question about the iTrip frequencies and the shuffle mode. I use my pod a lot on shuffle to hear my tunes in...

I just got the iTrip and tuned it to the default 87.9 Everything sounds good except on the stereo in my 2000 Toyota Tundra there is a high pitched ringing which is really annoying. I've tried my iPod with the iTrip on other vehicles stereos and I don't get the ringin (as badly)Are there an...

Has anyone made a comparison between the soundbug, and omnivox? I want to buy one, and don't know if the omnivox (around $300) is too expensive for what it is... Should I stick with the soundbug (around $30)? I will only use it sometimes, and just to show people... I will also keep it kinda qui...

So my itrip finally came. I originally ordered it from Griffin, but they said it would take weeks.Therefore, I canceled that order and purchased from Apple's website. Due to the holiday weekend, Fedex took a bit long delivering, but it finally came today.The device was easy to install and words...

I bought a 10 gig a couple weeks before the latest ones came out. Needless to say, I wished I had a base for it. Anyway, I contacted Roger Carter at Becart who had done some custom metal work for me in the past and he made me a very cool base out of aluminum. I think it's awesome, I told him he...

Howdy,Someone actually mentioned this elsewhere before, but I thought I'd make it a bigger point just because I never knew it was a possibility until his post...You can install an Aux-In adapter in most car stereos! No more crappy FM Transmitter hassles! To my limited knowledge on the subject...
I pre-ordered an iTrip back in February to use my iPod in my car. Since then, I installed a a new CD player in my car that has multiple Aux inputs, so I wired my iPod in. Well Saturday, I found my pre-ordered iTrip on my front porch, I forgot that I had ordered it. I like the general idea of the iTr...

Has anyone had any experience with the Belkin Battery Pack for iPod? They sell'em over at the apple store ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70602/wo/Fq3Xkb7pXGyJ2jOvAmmeB7tPuB5/9.7.0.5.1). Sounds like a nifty toy to have, can come in handy in long trips!
Does any one know of a screen cover and a wheel cover on a website in the usa? I found a few in japan, but im not crazy about shipping. also, does anyone know of a iskin type case for the new 30gb? Thanks! Mickey

I use one of those rubber/silicone covers for my iPod, and I find after removing the case that there's all sorts of "schmutz" that looks like the case has had a reaction against the iPod. It doesn't come off with any mild (or not mild) cleaner, and it looks more like little spots here and...

Does anyone know if the itrip works with the new generation of ipods? I just picked up one of the new 30G players, and there doesn't seem to be any black-and-white answer for which ipods they work with.
the ipod hardly fits in the dock, right? then, you have to remove the ipod from the case each time you have to charge/sync it... am i the only one who finds this annoying? i might as well buy the 10gb version because of this,,,
I got my iTrip yesterday and for the most part, am getting "ok" reception.What frequency are other people in LA using? Searching the dial, I cannot find a frequency that doesn't have a broadcast on either side of it so I'm always tuning in to frequencies that have some (I think it's...

Is it safe to connect the (second generation Windows) iPod to your computer through a third party firewire cord, as opposed to the one included? I can't see why it wouldn't be, but I seem to recall having read something like this.
Well guys, I got my iTrip a week ago, and unlike many, I REALLY like it. Denver and Colorado Springs have ample empty frequencies to choose from, and it works great for me. However, it seemed to me that my battery life went down qucikly when I used it, so I decided to do a formal test.I have a 10...
Got my power adapter today (part of my $150 order for accessories that included a dock and two extra cables).
