I’m iTrippin’

The Griffin Technology folks kindly sent me an iTrip Auto Universal + last week and when it arrived I thought “oh no – wrong product” given it was labelled iTrip. However, as their product page shows it works with a whole range of iPod’s and Zune’s so I skipped out to the Clayton Chariot and plugged in. It worked like a charm and some of the features are a real boon – notably the preset stations as that helps me get over the challenge of not finding a free frequency that works on the duration of my commute along the M4 motorway.

Another nice touch is the the USB connector so I can charge my Zune at the same time. Very neat, very simple. Always a winning combination. I had the first gen iTrip to go with my 2nd gen iPod and things have definitely progressed.

What this means as Radio 5 is going to get less of my time on my drive and I’ll now get to listen to more of my podcasts when mooching about in the motor. Now if only the train to Newcastle today had in seat cigarette lighters I’d be able to blast our Radio Steve all the way :)

[update from Scott – apparently 86.7 is a good frequency]
