 Rating:  - A complete waste of money!I bought this as a secondary unit to an iTALKonline transmitter, and while I have probably been spoilt by that piece of kit, I honestly wasn't expecting the Roadtrip to be as bad as it is. Firstly, the basic fitting is not quite long enough to fit into the cigarette lighter and allow me to actually see and use the ipod. Due to the angle of the socket in my car (Audi TT), the ipod ends up pointing towards the floor, making it difficult to change tracks etc. Also, the extension arm supplied is way too long and the unit is too heavy to be supported safely by it, leaving it sticking out too far and waggling around. Secondly, the sound quality is dreadful - far too quiet and when the volume is wacked up to compensate, ...

Rating:  - Idiot-proof iPod in-car gadgetI needed to replace my Griffin iTrip which had basically died of over-use - the contacts either on the iTrip or the iPod seem to have gone mustang. I bought a Belkin Tunebase II in Dixons (£49.99). Pants. Had to take it back for a refund - my iPod 1st generation didn't fit the holder satisfactorily (and neither did any other more recent iPod in the family) AND the gadget didn't charge the iPod AND you couldn't work the dial on the iPod. Also, the swan-neck bendy thing wobbled if you gave it a dirty look let alone drove over a bump. This Griffin 4031 was completely numpty-proof - stuck it in the fag lighter, shoved in the iPod and bosh - top quality sound comes out of the radio. I can see that you might have a slight problem ... Read More: Rating:  - Cheap and handy, but flawed and can be difficult to positionI bought my Road Trip recently and have generally been pleased with it, but it's not without it's problems. My iPod - 5th Gen 30GB - fits into the road trip very snugly, VERY snugly. So tight in fact that I'm sure it will scratch the iPod before too long. But hey, it's got loads of scratches already. I have a Nissan Primera and a Vauxhall Vectra. We took the road trip on holiday with us in the Nissan - a 2 hour journey. Getting the road trip positioned is the first problem. Due to it's size and the limited amount of movement allowed for in it's mounting system it was tricky to get it positioned so that it didn't hit the gearstick. After some faffing around I got it in an acceptable position - I can't see the iPod display ... Read More: Rating: - Terrible cheap and nasty!If you demand even just reasonable quality music in your car this item still doesn't deliver. The sound quality is terrible with a constant background hiss and crackle no matter what frequency you choose. Its also big and bulky - much better off just upgrading car stereo to one with ipod input. Avoid this item, it really isnt that good at all. |
