My iTrip arrived today. Great packaging greeted me when I opened the UPS blue package. Similar to the iPod's box, it's white and grey and contains the same type of simple instructions: insert software CD, run installer, sync, you're done.
By default, the iTrip was set to 87.9FM. A quick check of the FCC website for conflicts and I was ready to go. I tried three different stations at random before I settled on 98.1. I tried it on our home stereo--success! Out to the car--success.
So far, it's what I expected: FM radio fidelity. The strength of the signal is very surprising; I can move the iPod within about 15 feet of the car with no loss of quality. As far as volume is concerned, I set my iPod to about 75% of maximum and get good results.
I'd give the product a 4 out of 5 rating. The Firewire plug port is my only complaint--it messes with the port cover on the iPod.
