Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the iTrip Auto Lightning FM Transmitter's convenient charging capabilities and ease of use. However, many express concerns regarding sound quality and the effectiveness of the FM transmitter, citing issues with signal strength, static, and reception. Some users found the device simple to operate and appreciated its charging function. Despite these positive aspects, the audio performance proved to be a significant drawback for a substantial number of customers.

    I bought this transmitter because older cars don't have a aux plug in. This unit works perfect. Only thing is you will be required to download an app from the App Store. Good things about the app is that it will give you the best available station possible for the region you're in.

    I wanted to listen to the music on my iTunes track from my iPhone 5C. I was unable to do so with an auxiliary outlet in my car. This purchase has made it totally possible to do so! I love getting into my car each day not being forced to listen to the advertisement laden radio. Instead, I listen to the music of my choice daily!! Thank you Best Buy!!

      I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble you had with that product. Unfortunately, this transmitter is not compatible with the newest 7th generation iPod nano with Lightning connector. The iTrip Auto requires the audio drivers in iOS to function properly, and the newest nano does not use a standard version of iOS. For your iPod nano, I'd recommend our Universal iTrip Auto model, which you can find here: http://grff.in/h1jpf

      Hope that helps!griffin-technology

    Back in the days when i drove a 2002 model car, this was a life saver. I actually miss that car a lot, times were a lot simpler in the days when i used a FM transmitter to listen to music in my car.

    It works great in a car that doesn't have a aux jack. Able to play Pandora and iTunes through the radio. Not too expensive. If you do have to re-tune channel you will need to pull over because you cant multi task at the same time

    The thing works for what it is supposed to do. No complaints on that. But I would recommend using mp3 or Bluetooth if you have it, but then there is no reason to purchase this then right?

    Bought this for my boyfriend. We only wish it had a part where you could easily change the songs and pause the song like mine for an older iTouch.

    DIssapointed in the device. I am unable to find any radio channel that doesn't have lots of static and noise. It also makes a random "surging" sound every few minutes.

    Not worth the $60+ we paid for it and pretty sure it's not even worth $20. It did not work at all on the open highways and would not recommend.
