a. it would be superior (in terms of sound quality)to my current Kensington FM transmitter dock and
b. that the creadle would be a nice upgrade from the non cradle set up on my Kensington set up.
The moment I set it up I was in for a terrible shock! The sound was absolutely horrible in the Washington DC area with plenty of hiss and generally poor sound quality. The Kensington that so far sounded OK, sounded great after the Griffen Roadtrip. The sound on this is so bad that I simply tossed the cradle into the trash can, since returning stuff on Amazon market place is no walk in the park! So there was $25 completely and absolutely wasted. I did use the little mini stereo jack and the FM transmitter does an OK job on my PC for listening music in my patio.
The cradle itself was nice and had it worked I would have been happy. However since the FM transmitter was so bad, I would never ever reccommend this product to anyone.

The item works perfectly with clear sound. Neither of my current cars have aux input for my I-Pod and this product solved that issue at little cost and highly acceptable performance. The Griffin is used in 2 different cars and 2 different I-pods with the same excellent results.
The package includes a variety of adapters for different sized I-pods and will accommodate all except the shuffle. Also included are pads that stick on the I-pod holder so that it is held snugly in place. I should mention there are different holder adapters included as well should I decide to change I-pods.
There are also adapters that allow you to plug the unit into the cigarette lighter so that the unit can be positioned in a wide variety of positions. The instructions do no explain how the adapters can be configured that so you have to spend a bit off time figuring that out, but it is impossible to believe that the unit can not be fit and positioned to be highly useable in any car.
Changing the frequency on the radio and transmitter is a simple process. I used the default frequency at the lower end of the spectrum and have had no problems. I read where some people have had issues with the docking unit also not charging the I-pod while docked, I have not experienced that problem. Nevertheless since the I-pod generally has a battery life of between 5 -8 hours, I could like with having to charge my i-pod separately if that were an issue.
If I had a gripe it would be with the instructions (a common complaint for almost anything you purchase). They are less comprehensive than they should be and instead of investing in putting those in 6 different languages, making them clear in in any language would be appreciated.
In summary for well under $30 this was a great purchase in terms of ease of use and quality sound from my I-Pod to my car stereo, it works well.

I am happy with this product, it works fine and is relatively easy to use. It is a bit clunky and awkward looking, but works well.

A quick n easy solution not always the best over the air connection. You will have to find a dead air zone on your tuner but it works in ANY CAR!

My 17 year old brother is the one that uses this and he loves it. He has no problems with it falling out, no problems with sound quality, crackling or other issues.

This is a simple to use transmitter. It is a little awkwardly placed due to the location of the lighter outlet in my dash, but still in a perfectly workable position. Fights station traffic well.
