iTrip sucks in my opinion.

1) It is fairly hard to set a station.
2) Stations are essentially "songs" so if you play your iPod on shuffle it will play crazy "modem like" sounds once in a while.
3) It cuts your battery life in about half.
4) If you go on a trip you will have to switch stations from area to area. (on Long Island, there were ZERO open stations)

I tried mine for a week and returned it. I am using a cassette deck adapter right now, and I am very happy. Sounds better too.

However, if going the radio route, get one that has the tuner easilty visible so you can change them while driving.

depends on where you live

where I live, it works great...sound quality isn't fantastic I'll admit, but the default station is fine (87.9 iirc), and everywhere I drive I haven't had a problem...as for battery life, that's what a car adapter is for :-P

I gave mine away but I would buy this instead.

iTrip sounded like a bad AM radio to me. I like the cassette adapter audio quality a hundred times better. This is in a totally different price range but it is so cool. It even displays the songs, etc on you head unit:
