If you have an iPod mini you need an iTrip mini. The iTrip mini FM transmitter lets you play your iPod mini's music wirelessly through any FM radio - in your car, on the road, even at home through your stereo.The iTrip mini was designed exclusively for the iPod mini. Its form factor matches perfectly all the curves and lines of the iPod mini. It sounds even sweeter. iTrip mini gives you the best possible performance because you can choose any empty station from 87.7 to 107.9. Best of all you choose and change your iTrip mini stations directly from the iPod mini itself.The iTrip mini does NOT need batteries. It receives a tiny amount of power directly from the iPod mini - saving you from wasting hundreds of batteries a year. That's good news for the planet and even better news for your wallet. The iTrip mini can even be used while charging your iPod mini in your car or while docked. If you add the PowerPod iPod auto charger you can listen to your iPod mini while road tripping all the way across America. Now that's cool!iTrip mini doesn't have a power switch - it doesn't need one. Just plug it in and go. It shuts off automatically after 60 seconds of silence just like the iPod mini. You see, the iTrip mini is the ultimate iPod mini accessory because it lets you share the music and share the fun. Forget the headphones. Get an iTrip mini and go wireless!

Griffin iTrip Mini works great
I have owned a Griffin iTrip Mini for about 5 years, and most of the time it worked fine. The only thing is that since it is an FM Transmitter, sometimes there is interference when the signal is weak. Also, my previous iTrip broke down after almost 4 years of use (the metal mini jack broke), and that's the reason why I had to replace it. Luckily, it was only $4.99 at Amazon.

Poor quality
The only way to play your iPod in your car and have decent sound is to have it hooked directly to the stereo. FM transmitters in general are poor. I tried this one, and learned this myself. As you are driving the quality is constantly changing as the signal changes - terrible.

Good FM Reception on Car and House Radios
The Griffin iTrip Mini FM Transmitter for Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9434LL/A (Green) works well on both my car and house radios. Of course, this depends on the quality of your radio and location to transmit the signal. Reception is excellent throughout my house and yard, especially if you have a sensitive radio (mine is a Kaito KA1102 - Worldband radio.). FM reception in the car depends on making certain you are driving in an unobstructed area (this is the case even with public FM stations).

PROS:
* What I like about the unit is that it attaches conveniently to the iPod and looks like an integral part of the iPod.
* It covers the full FM band, although adjusting it while driving is impractical.

CONS:
* The greatest fault I find with this unit is that it drains the iPod battery within about 3 hours of air play.
* It cost me a bomb (over $40) when I first purchased it, but I see now a used one is substantially less and won't set you back.

Otherwise, the Griffin iTrip Mini FM Transmitter is a nice addition to those who own an iPod mini.

Good...at first
I bought this product when it first came out and it worked but never had a clear sound. There was always static on every available station and always had to be touching it. Currently, I have not used it in months because it won't pick up ANY station at all. Very disappointed. I am in the process of purchasing a different product.
