I recently purchased this product and took it on a 30 day roadtrip across the country. I used it all over the nation, from the Midwest (where it’s relatively easy to find a frequency), to more congested areas like around Washington DC and Philadelphia, where its not easy to find a signal. Through it all, the Roadtrip provided incredible sound quality for an FM transmitter. The cradle and mount is very handy in that you can adjust it so that you can view both the Ipod’s screen and the frequency the Roadtrip is on without really having to take your eyes off the road. As one would imagine, I had a lot of stuff in my car on the trip, so I didn’t want to mess with a typical corded charger and transmitter. This allowed my Ipod to be mounted close to my radio controls and didn’t take up any space on my floor or console. A couple of things to note here, however. First is that the mount comes with two pieces, one which you plug into your cigarette lighter and one which is an extension piece if the Roadtrip is in your way. I used the extension and was very pleased with it, but over time the sheer weight of it would not let it fig snugly in my cigarette lighter, and it tended to move around when I went around corners. Taking off the extension solved this problem, and, while it was not as conveniently placed, still allowed me to see and use it easily. The sound quality of this product is also not as good in my other car (a ‘97 Grand Am), but I suspect that’s the fault of the car itself, not the Roadtrip. The antenna on that car doesn’t pick up very good signals anyway. Overall this is a great product, certainly a great asset for me on my cross-country adventure. * Haines says:
