Griffin Updates iTrip for Video iPod

Thursday, October 13th, 2005 at 12:00 AM - by Staff

Griffin Technology has updated its iTrip FM transmitter for use with Apple's new fifth generation iPod with video. It's also compatible with all full-size iPods that have dock connectors, including iPod photo, iPod U2 Special Edition and the third and fourth generation iPods.

Griffin's redesigned iTrip features a backlit LCD screen, a switch for selecting the broadcast frequency and the ability to remember its settings. In addition, users can choose between LX or DX broadcasting modes as well as U.S. and international tuning modes.

The iTrip draws its power from the iPod and includes a mini USB port for charging the MP3 player while in use. Pricing is US$49.99 and Griffin said the new product will ship later this month.

But the 5G iPod does not have that connector right beside the headphone connector.

The newest iTrip uses the DOCK CONNECTOR. That's right in the article.

That might be the case, but the link in the article points to the old iTrip, not the new one which uses the dock connector.

I can understand why the first comment poster was confused.

Unless you can plug the car kit power cord into the iTrip I think that design kinda sucks, where as before you could plug in both the power and the iTrip for longer trips now you can only listen as for as long as your battery lasts. It's hard to tell from that picture, so with luck there is a way to plug the power in too.
