Is Ipod cal-look?  Just kidding! Easy work, you buy a Itrip fm transmitter for your Ipod and just choose a frequence on you Blaupunkt and start listening. Personally I like the transmitter form Griffin; http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip/Happy listening! Beetlebug |

naaa I use my itrip/ipod at my office through 15 year old boom box... sometimes I have to hunt a little and adjust the tuning through the day but it works acceptably.

I agree with Mr DKK here, set the Itrip on a chosen frequency and then find it by tuning the radio. A stronger FM sender may interupt but usually that`s no problem high up or low down on the FM range - as long as you`re not in the US that is  BeetleBug |

can you use the itrip on every mp3 player?
for instance i have a Nokia N91 with 4gb HDD and use it as my mp3 drive, could i use the itrip as well?
p.s. i have a modern radio in my beetle...

The iTrip is specific to the iPod... I think it's because it runs off the internal battery of the ipod. I have seen similar devices that plug into any headphone port. I assume that those would need a battery to power them.

Griffin have a wide range of FM transmitters and I would be suprised if you can`t find one for your Nokia. Itrip`s are specially designed for Ipod. There is also transmitters that charge you phone or Ipod while you listen to those favourite tunes. Best rgs BeetleBug No - I`m absolutely not a gadged freak! |

So you are telling me, once I get an ipod, I can play it through the stock Sapphire am/fm in my GTV?? That would be killer!

You don't need an iPod specifically...just any source with a mini jack headphone port will do.

It`s illegal with FM transmitters here in Norway as well but they do sell it at the airport anyway.
You don`t need an Ipod, FM senders are available for almost every well known Mp3 player - also phones. I already used Ipod and bought the Itrip for it and I`m very satisfied. It looks good, it sounds good and it is very easy to use. I can bring my personal record collection to every party and with me on any trip. The newest Itrips can also be used together with dockingstations and a remote control making it the perfect entertainment center. The fantastic Itunes Record Store makes it possible to download your favourite artists in seconds for around 1 dollar pr song and you can make your own records. The collection of songs on Itunes never stops suprising me and if you don`t find your favourite song there they will add it to the list because they count the number of requests... Easy!
