Griffin iTrip for 2nd Gen iPod nano





Just picked up a Griffin iTrip for my 2nd Gen iPod nano at BestBuy and took it on a little road trip to Asheville, NC. A very pleasant experience!


This iTrip is a cradle design that the nano slips into. This meant that I had to take my nano out of the silicone skin I had it in and slip it into the iTrip. The nano is then securely connected to the iTrip. No chance of it slipping out.


Setup was easy! The iTrip recommends 87.9 as the default station to tune your FM radio to (I spent about 5 minutes tuning a static station and ended up on 87.9 before even turning the iTrip on, Duh!). You can store up to 3 preset stations in the iTrip so you can change stations when driving through an area with a local station at your setting. Sound output was good and with very little interference (at least on that trip).


There is a mini-USB port on the bottom of the iTrip for supplying power which means for longer trips, I will have to get the Griffin 12V power adapter kit. So, overall, my trip with the iTrip was a pleasant experience.
