Amazon.com Product Description
This Kensington digital FM transmitter/auto charger transmits your iPod tunes through your car stereo while simultaneously charging its battery, making it a versatile two-in-one bargain. The unit includes such features as an easy-to-read digital display, simple up/down pushbutton operation that makes it a breeze to select frequencies, three programmable buttons to lock in station presets, and a safety fuse that protects against power spikes. And thanks to the ClearFM technology, you'll enjoy richer lows, crisper highs, and superior stereo separation with a "concert hall" effect--all through your default stereo speakers.

Never got the package on time.......2007-12-24
Wherever Amazon orders this product from -- never arrived for Christmas -- even when ordered 2 weeks before the holidays!
Defective Unit- Horrible Customer Service.......2007-12-17
When I hooked my 3G Nano up to my car with the 33199, I heard music for 1 sec before it went dead and froze the I-pod. Resetting the I-pod restored it but the same thing continually happened. Tried it in another car...same thing. Calling customer service will take you to some far-away land where people have extreme difficulty comprehending english and are flummoxed if you say anything that is not in one of there 'scripts'. After phoenetically spelling my name,address, e-mail, etc at least 3 times before they had it correct, they are hopefully sending me a new unit....BUT the service rep said THEY NO LONGER MAKE MODEL 33199, AND ARE REPLACING IT WITH MODEL 33411,
so I wouldn't even bother ordering this unit, and my experience with technical service was so frustrating, I will never buy a Kensington product again.
FANTABULOUS!.......2007-12-14
Plug and go ... awesome little gadget. Only issue came up when in New York for a weekend. Fewer radio frequencies to choose from which I suppose happens in all metropolitian areas. Highly recommend for anyone with iPod and car not pre-wired.
would be awesome if it still worked.......2007-12-13
I bought this product about 8 months ago, expecting it to last a while. About a month ago, the protective black plastic over the port that plugs into the iPod came off, revealing whatever material is underneath, but no wires or anything. I use this thing every day, on the way to work and back, on the way to the gym and back, etc., and thought it would be durable enough to handle multiple daily insertions. At first, the adaptor was unaffected, but in the past couple weeks, the audio quality has been horrible, scratching in and out from nothing, to only bass, to full blast--on radio stations that worked perfectly before. I know it doesn't have anything to do with the iPod itself, because I can still listen to it clearly using a pair of headphones.
This product was a dream until the port's covering fell apart. I guess you should be really careful with it and not carry it around in a purse, where it can jiggle around all day.
Nothing compares.......2007-12-12
I bought one with my iPod nano 8g and it failed. It was my fault, however. I let the end that plugs into the iPod fall on the floor of my work truck and my water jug sweat onto the end and the tiny terminals inside completely disappeared within a fungus-like layer of corrosion. I quickly acquired a much cheaper replacement thinking all are the same and I quickly discovered they aren't. Not even close. This tuner is far superior in every way. In this niche, you get what you pay for. I bought a Belkin and let's just say after two months of unreasonable static (I couldn't hardly make out music 90% of the time, seriously), it lit my rather short fuse for inferior junk and ended up being the centerpiece of a hammer-smashing party. I destroyed it to oblivion and smiled with retributive glee until my peers became concerned. I quickly went back online and spent the extra money for my lovely Kensington. My life has actually improved since. The difference: Kensington is a high-quality digital tuner and my Belkin was not digital. I can even put it in my work truck and tune a radio about twenty feet away on a jobsite or even another car or house radio. I love it.

Great idea........doesn't work.......2007-12-26
Apparently Monster has some real quality issues, this is my second bad experience with their products. Unit intermittantly stops transmitting, have to unplug to reset. Autoscan......great idea....needs more work. 120 sec to scan and you still have a busy station. Amazon was great on the return policy though, prepaid shipping.
Excellent Product!.......2007-12-26
This is an excellent product - works exactly as advertised. I highly recommend it, especially if you live in a city with lots of frequencies in use.
Great Product.......2007-12-24
Does go out from time to time, but that's mainly due to the fact I live in LA and there are no free radio stations anymore. Great deal!
Auto scan is a great addition.......2007-12-18
I have tried the old monster cable and wasn't very happy with it as there was a lot of static with it. This auto scan cable allows you to do a search to find the clearest channel. We've had the new cable for about a month and would recommend it to others.
do not purchase if you have the ipod touch.......2007-12-04
I purchased this product last week because a few people i know have used this and said it is the best fm transmitter for the ipod. 5 minutes after it came in i went to my truck to hook up my ipod, there was nothing. I am not sure why, but the radio station will not appear on the ipod touch screen and will not allow you to know what station you are tuned into to set your radio to. On monster's website ( as of 12/3/07) this is the first product listed on the page for touch accessories. After waiting on hold for over 30 minutes to talk to a tech support rep. from monster, i found out that the page on www.monstercable.com was wrong and that if you have a ipod touch, you should not buy this. Monster agreed to send me the correct one in exchange for this one. The one that is being sent to me is the Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus.

IPOD on Wheels.......2007-12-12
It is fantastic. Just buy it. Easy to install and you have your portable Ipod.
Didn't work for me.......2007-12-06
I am surprised to see so many positive reviews on this product but for some reason it just didn't work for me and even the design was very bulky and I couldn't figure out a way to mount it in my car.
I drive a honda accord and my plug resides right beside the gear stick. I had a very hard time in installing this device and finding the right way to mount it so that it does not obstruct the gearshift.
I encountered a very strange problem in finding the right frequency. The device works fine in the morning hours where I could play my ipod at 85.1. But during evening, though I was able to find many unused frequencies, the transmitter just wouldn't work. I got a lot of static which was unbearable and I had to finally return the product.
It doesn't work for me.......2007-11-29
The item looks sharp, particularly with it matching the white Ipod. As far as it actually working, it falls way short.
I live in the NY Metro area and went through all the FM stations and found not one station that the worked with the FM transmitter. Even the stations that had static did not work. My old "cheaper" FM transmitter w/charger and cradle with only 4 preset stations works
I don't know whether the Griffin is not working due to the area or the product. Did anyone else have the same experience? What do I do?
Does it work with IPHONE?.......2007-11-06
I had to take a minute and let you know about this product if you own a IPHONE. Now you dropped allot of money on the IPHONE and you want to be able to listen to it in your automobile. This product does work for the IPHONE, but there are some things that I must let you know before you order it.
1) You will here a slight humming sounds as your drive around. It is not very loud, but you will notice it. This happens because most of us who have our IPHONE do not wish to switch the phone to airplane mode in order to play our music, so if you have no problem with a faint buzzing sound while you belt out a few tunes then this is your product.
2) I have a truck and at first when I was trying to figure out where I wanted the Griffin Road Trip to be placed it appeared to need the extension that is included in the box, so hold on to those small pieces you never know what you will need them for.
3) READ THE DIRECTIONS! They will tell you what each part is for, and before you know it you will have your favorite tunes playing from your speakers.
I have recommended this product to my friends and family, and now to you.
Good Luck!
So far so good.......2007-10-29
I didn't have a lot of hopes in purchasing a refurbished electronics product, but so far this has held up in the few times I've used it. For the money I spent, I'm pleased with the quality of the sound (it's playing compressed music over transmitted radio waves, so again, my hopes weren't too high in the first place) although you have to keep the volume high enough to overcome the natural hiss. Ergonomically, it's built conveniently and safely enough for me to operate without distracting me from the road or bumping my knee. However, this probably has as much to do with the location of my car's cigarette lighter as the product itself. Again, for the discounted price I got it for, its dramatically improved the value of my ipod to me.
