Griffin RoadTrip Arrives
Today my Griffin RoadTrip arrived in the mail. I actually paid for this little gadget, but I got a few bucks knocked off of it through one of the shops listed on Amazon.com.
It was easy to piece together and plugged rite into my cigarette lighter without any problems. I used a small adapter because my lighter socket isn’t as deep as others. An additional extension was provided, but I was able to set it up without it.
This little product is very handy. I love the fact that I can charge the iPod on my way into and out of work while listening to it on the radio. I was listening to it today with the Belkin FM transmitter that I received yesterday and was very happy with what I could hear.
After I got the mount into position, I locked down the joints with the wingnut screws. The one thing that I noticed rite away was that I couldn’t tilt the iPod towards me. I could tilt it on a vertical plane, but not horizontally. I can still see the screen just fine. I would prefer if I could see it better.
The FM transmitter at the bottom can be detatched and hooked up to my computers USB slot. I doubt I would remove it since I already have the Belkin FM transmitter that I can carry around and can work on two “AA” batteries alone.
