A Griffin itrip transmitter uses the power supply provided by your Ipod, so you are using that battery. There is no battery source in the Itrip I own.
an iTrip transmitter is an FM transmitter that is compatible with Apple iPods. You can plug in your iPod, and it will play your music through an intermittent FM station.
One can purchase a Griffin iTrip Transmitter from a physical store such as Walmart, or an online site such as Amazon. The cost for this transmitter is usually under $20.
The Itrip Transmitter attaches to the bottom of an Apple Ipod music player and receives FM radio signals. It provides high quality sound and little battery drainage from the Ipod.
The Griffin Itrip auto serves as both FM transmitter and car charger in a single car accessory. An Itrip can be used even with an Ipod that is fully battery depleted and recharges the unit.
The iTrip Auto Transmitter currently sells for $35.00 for the Apple iPod. There are other versions of the products sold for other manufacturers such as Philips and Sony.
The iTrip nano is not a GPS device; it is an FM transmitter. It allows you to broadcast your iPod and other MP3 devices through an FM station on your car radio.
From the research I have done, the best FM transmitter will depend on what you are using it for. Two that I found come rated with 4 and 1/2 stars are the Belkin TuneCast F8Z498-P FM Transmitter and the Griffin itrip auto fm transmitter for ipod.
You can connect your MP3 to your car player via a radio transmitter, such as the iTrip, or by hardline via the Aux In on the back of the player.
Does it have a tape player? if so, get a tape adapter with a headphone jack to plug it in to the ipod. If not, get an iTrip or similar FM transmitter to transmit the signal to your car radio.
