The number of features accessible in the new iTrip can be a bit overwhelming, but you needn’t use any of them the unit is set up by default to just be tuned to a station and left alone.įrom a hardware standpoint, there’s only one negative change to prior iTrips-the replacement of the prior models’ mini-USB pass-through charging ports with a less compatible micro-USB connector. Hit a menu button and you’re given additional options, as well: it cycles through four screens, one with the tuner features, one with presets, one with track control buttons and scrolling track text information, and one with “reset” and “options” buttons. The bluish-green screen turns on just long enough to show you that the accessory is broadcasting FM radio signals to a specific station, and give you a choice of several options in small text: + and – for tuning, and Scan for a feature called SmartScan, which automatically finds an open radio station to broadcast on. As with its predecessors, the new iTrip attaches to the bottom of an iPod or iPhone, adding a bright, readable OLED screen, buttons, and a pass-through charging port. ![]() ![]() Once again, iTrip’s purpose is to flood an empty local FM radio channel with radio signals, helping users with stereos-typically car stereos that lack auxiliary audio inputs-to hear iPod or iPhone music without headphones or the devices’ small integrated speakers. ![]()
