How to receive a clearer iPod FM transmitter signal
Being an amateur radio operator I know a liitle about antennas and how to improve reception. There are several ways to increase the range of the iTrip with resorting to removing your cars antenna and missing your favorite morning show. One of the simplest ways is to use an induction antenna. Get some wire and wrap it around the iTrip if it is small enough wire or make a coil of wire and sitting the iPod with the iTrip in the loops. Run the other wire close to the antenna. Even better run it out the window and through the firewall and out the hood and wrap at least 10 wraps around the base of the antenna and tape it up.
Better transmitters for cars
There are also transmitters that plug directly into a cigarette lighter outlet and claim to use the car's ground as a groundplane for the transmitter. I have an older version of this and it works much better than the iTrip that's now collecting dust. None of the hard-to-use little bleepy audio clips to configure the iTrip either - just a button.
