If your car doesn’t have an aux-in line, the iTrip AutoPilot with Smartscan Technology does the work for you. It broadcasts the music from your iPod to an open FM frequency on your car’s FM stereo so you can play your tunes through your car stereo’s speakers. RDS technology shows song information on your RDS-enabled car radio display. Setup is as easy as pressing a button — Griffin-exclusive SmartScan technology finds the perfect frequency setting for you. In fact, it scans the radio dial for the three best frequencies, then saves them automatically to 3 programmable presets for easy recall at the touch of a button. AutoPilot playback control puts a set of iPod play controls in easy reach.
