Product Description

From the Manufacturer--Posted October 1, 2008

The iTrip Auto for Sansa plays your music on your car's FM stereo so you can listen as you ride. Play your Sansa's music on your car's stereo system without wires. Just plug into your car's 12 volt accessory outlet or cigarette lighter, set your radio to one of iTrip Auto's pre-sets, and iTrip does the rest. The iTrip's digital FM radio broadcaster sends music from your Sansa to an open frequency on your car's FM radio in crisp, clear FM stereo. And once you find that perfect station, iTrip Auto can remember the setting with one of four user-programmable pre-sets. Plus, the iTrip charges our Sansa player while it's connected.

We have used this unit in Chicago, Los Angeles, and on road trips. It works well, so long as you can find a clear channel. The unit works best when it is set to the middle channel of three clear channels in a row, so that the transmitter has a clear channel on either side of it. That's pretty hard to find in a major metropolitan area, so performance sometimes suffers. On rural highways (where we use it the most) clear channels are much easier to find, and performance is much better.

This is an excellent way to listen to your Sansa View (any other Sansa products) through your car FM radio. The product has been easy to configure to the local radio spectrum. I have all four presets so I never run into cross interferance. Because it plugs into the cigarette lighter - I never need worry about batteries. I great aide to this product is the web site [...] which will tell you where the "gaps" in the radio spectrum are for a given zip code. (It also lists all local radio stations.)

I bought this item several months ago and have been very pleased with its performance. I live in San Diego and travel to the Los Angeles area occasionally. There are almost no open channels on the FM radio band in this area and I still get good results with the griffin cable. I have had two other FM transmitters for my assorted mp3 players over the years and the griffin has worked the best. Also, I really like being able to charge the sansa and play music with a *single* cable. I would buy this cable again. I plan on taking it to Europe with me in a few months to see how it does there. One of my old transmitter had some problems in populated areas (I was in Spain at the time).
