Hmm found this link just now - maybe I'll try it first before popping over to WW's.

It's worth a shot.

I "had" the iTrip until recently. I found that particulary around the Melville area (SABC or other high power antennae in the region) it starts sucking big time though all the channels. PS: I found 106.0 fm probably the best of the bad bunch.

Unfortunately driving a Volvo means no hard wire option as yet - something to do with the fiber optics being too advanced blah blah.

Maybe it was fate that stepped in, cos the iTrip isn't built that well either - a small knock and the the whole thing came appart, which basically renders it pretty much useless - even with liberal use of duct-tape and soldering.

I may just pop over to Wayne's World today to check out the roadtrip.

Thanks for the input Rich and Armand. I have a Mazda Sting so the BMW option won't work. I'll take a look at the RoadTrip. Does the unit plug into the car charger?

Hey,

Okay personally I use the ice-link system that is hardwaired into the cars system (mapped to the cd shuttle button). That way I can control everything from my steering wheel, it's about R2000 installed.

The iTrip and similar unpowered FM transmiters suck. They suck bad.

However, while my car's been geetting fixed I needed an alternative and went for Griffin's RoadTrip (R550, WW computers, Cretsa). I'm blown away by how good this unit is, really blown away, so much so I bought a second one for my wife. The trasmission to FM 88.1 is perfect and it charges too.

If you want the sexier option, the icelink rocks, but having said that, I have found no fault with the RoadTrip.

Hope this helps...!
