When I got my new iPod (20 Gig, Color) the first accessory I needed was the iTrip. My old iPod (20 gig, 2nd gen) had an original iTrip and I couldn’t leave home without it. It became a permanent fixture on my iPod. So I ordered an iTrip LCD off eBay and and I have to say that it has some good features, but one major issue.

The Good:
Great design
No software to add to the iPod or iTunes
Easy to change stations
Only FM transmitter (that I know of) that goes to 87.5
Good sound quality
No batteries or extra cords to plugin
No setup
No delay when a song starts playing, it just starts

The Bad:
Very annoying static pop when changing songs. I hear it’s a design flaw and that it effects all iTrip LCDs. It’s really annoying at first, but you get use to it. Or I did. I still hear it, but I could never give up my iTrip. I could send it in but then I’d be iTrip less for a few weeks.

All in all the good almost outweighs the bad. I give Griffin’s iTrip LCD a B but if you are very picky about little annoyances, the static pop will drive you up the wall.
