The '''iTrip''' is an [[FM-transmitter]] made by [[Griffin Technology]] as a [[iPod#Accessories|third party accessory]] for [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s popular [[iPod]] [[MP3 player]].

The iTrip plugs into the headphone socket of the iPod and converts the audio output into an FM radio signal, which can then be picked up by appliances such as car radios. It has a [[range]] of about fifteen feet (four and a half metres), and can broadcast on any FM [[frequency]] from 76.0 to 108.0 [[MHz]] (though the default US configuration is limited to 87.9 to 107.9 MHz). Instead of using batteries, the iTrip draws its power from the iPod through the remote connector port and the [[dock connector]] for an iTrip with a dock connector.

In March 2006, Griffin Technology released the iTrip as well as some of their other iPod accessories for the [[Sony]] [[PlayStation Portable]] (PSP).

A check of the griffin website in September 2010 showsed that the device iwas listed by the manufacturer as "discontinued".
