ipod itrip mini or monster icar play

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

Hello to all ipod and ipod mini owners

I'd like to know which of the itrip and the monster icarplay to buy?

the monster icar play let you recharge and play ipod mini into a car by transmitting wirelessly to a empty fm station

the itrip does the same but doesnt recharge the ipod and according to the guy I saw this morning at futureshop, my ipod mini 2G (18h battery) wont lenght more than 2 h with the itrip

my questions is what should I buy. I have no limit for the price as I bought the ipod mini for the car only. Also, is the 2 hours battery is real or the guy only wanted me to buy the icar monster which is 120$ cad here copared to the itrip at 50$ cad.

Is there anything else better or equivalent to these accessoires?

thanks guys

I can get 6 hours out of the itrip mini... I'll warn you though if you leave it unplugged from the ipod for more than a day, you will lose your station setting. It's easy as pie to get back, but it's still a bit annoying.

Looking back I might have gone the monster route, or one of th eother ones that recharges aswell. The problem is though I usually take short trips anyways, and often in different vehicles, so lugging around a cigarette adapter wouldn't have been very feasible to me. If you only drive one vehicle and/or take long trips often, then get the monster

This is for my own car which this is the only one I drive. I usually drive short period and I want to have long enough battery (or the cig plug recharge) for long trip with my wife

About your 4 hours, is it with the 1G or the 2G ipod mini?

I am afraid a lil bit about hte icar play by monster because of the poor rate © it has on ipodlounge.com compared to the (a-) to the itrip.

I could also buy itrip + an independant cig adapter recharge! *shrug*

thanks

I have the 1G mini.

if you're gonna take long trips, then it might be best to just get the monster, especially since it's only for your car.

I have a 3G iPod and an iTrip and love it just fine. Very easy to tune, and quite convienent for the size. The monster equivilent is ok.. but really didnt like it all that much.

my gf got the monster one and we took a trip (9hrs) the other day and it worked fine the whole time. I think she paid 80 USD for it.

i think it has settings so that you can put it on any radio station. not just a choice of about 3 or 4 like many other fm modulators.
