Tips & Warnings
The iTrip can broadcast music in either stereo or mono. Choose "LX" for mono, which produces a cleaner, crisper sound, or "DX" for stereo. Select "LX" or "DX" by holding the iTrip's frequency selector down for 5 seconds.
The iTrip will regulate the volume of the music it sends to your radio so you can control the volume from the stereo. To begin with, set your iPod's volume to its maximum. Turn it down if the music sounds distorted.
Itrip will play your iPod's music through any radio, not just your car stereo.
