Hacking Your iTrip
The Griffin iTrip is great but has a very short range before the signal starts breaking up. In most cases, moving the iPod to the backseat or even the passenger side will cause static and fading in the sound. Here’s how to increase the range to almost 60 feet.

You can put a 9 volt battery in series with 2 1.5 volt batteries and make 12 volts via firewire. 8. You can build a CMOY pocket amplifier for a headphones (Like the one that I have previously written about) 9. You can cut a rectangular hole in the top of the can, and slide your new ipod into the hole. You have made a docking bay. 10. you can cut the altoids can into tiny strips, and wrap it around the antenna of your new griffins radio transmitter and up the ouput signal.
