How do those cassette adapters sound?
Hi,
I sent to america when i got my iTrip (about 12 months ago).. as some have said, it has a very limited range and in my BMW hatch the antena is part of the rear window and it's crackly at that distance. I never use my itrip unless it's to play music at a friends house and then the itrip is next to the amp. if they have a spare input i use monster cables for a direct connection but some don't have any so then i use the itrip.
I find that the casset adaptor gets hot after a short while and then starts to make noise in the car so it's not ideal either.
I'm looking at changing my sound system soon so i'm going to be either getting an alpine with their ipod connection adaptor or getting another brand with the ice link plus that i memtioned previously. both of these options alow control of the ipod via the head unit. another option is to use an AUX input and use the ipod controls.

If you would like to have a try of an itrip in your car send me a PM and we can meet somewhere so that you can have a go. i work in the city and live north.
