I bought one for like 30 dollars and it's from Belkin. The thing works fine but sometimes is a pain and I've realized it works better if I have it in my hand. I don't evne have to hold it higher, just hold it period. I dunno, it's weird.

Was curious if anyone has one of these and knows if the different brands matter and if the one by apple might be better. I dunno if I'm able to return mine and try to find and buy the apple one (itrip) but if it's really better I might wanna attempt it.

If only my car had a casette player.... than it'd be nicer, but it doesn't, so whatever.

I think I should edit my other post...

but seriously, I didn't mean anything by what I said... at all.

I'm sorry, now I feel bad.

I don't even know to which thread you're referring, but it sounds like you should feel bad!

I don't understand what an iTrip does. Can someone explain it?

I serisouly didn't do anythin bad... just soemthin I said that sounded bad, cept I didn't mean it the way they thought. The other thread is the shoe one, I edited it tho.

But iTrip...

You put it into the headphone thing, then you set it to a station. You put ya FM radio to that station (the mroe static the better) and it catchs the freq and plays the ipod over the radio. You need a station that has static or else it won't work.... it's a bit annoyin sometimes if a certain station starts working all of a sudden and than ya ipod doesn't, but just gotta set a few stations to the memory thing and change if needed.

It's an awesome idea since I can't use the casette to ipod thing... so needed this.

I have the belkin on and it sucks.. I went and bought a different one that allows me to play my iPod on any radio frequency.. It works so much better.. The iPod sits in a craddle and charges while it plays.. I forget who makes it though..

Em they are the units that allow you to play your iPod through your car stereo.

Oh. So it plays your iPod's music? Like, instead of the cassette player hookup?

i got the same thing... ipod charges and then i use the radio thing.

ok which one do you have? I am tempted to get it if it's really alot better since the belkin one is annoying sometimes.

If ya can get the name for me, I'd appreciate it... thanks :)
