Griffin iTrip Auto SmartScan
$60.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:Color-coded light ring gives immediate feedback on charging status. Capable of international frequency ranges if there aren't many open stations and your radio supports it.
The Cons:Some minor signal degradation between the device and the radio. Doesn't always hit the right frequency, sometimes need to go one notch up on the dial. IPod equalizer needs to be set to "acoustic" for the sound quality to sound right.

At it core is Griffin’s proprietary SmartScan technology, which automatically locates the best frequencies, thereby ensuring seamless FM transmission. Like its peer, it sports selectable LX/DX modes of broadcasting for stations anywhere from 88.1 up to 107.9. Most unique about the iTrip Auto SmartScan, however, is its simple 1-cable design that allows the device to transmit iPod signals to to a car, while also charging it. One side of the cable connects to an iPod, whereas the other directly into an automobile’s charger slot – the cigarette lighter opening.
