The "idiot-proof" Griffin iTrip has been named top iPod car adaptor in a newspaper road test.
The Observer asked musician Nick Bracegirdle, the man behind Chicane's hit singles Offshore, Saltwater and Don't Give Up, to compare a range of FM transmitters.
Griffin's iTrip came out on top because it was so simple to set up with "no wires or unnecessary buttons involved".
The singer-songwriter also noted that the iTrip "tunes quickly and easily and sound quality is clear".
Kensington's "funky-looking" RDS FM Transmitter / Car Charger for iPod also scored well, because of the way it uses the car radio's LCD display to say which track is playing.
The Griffin iTrip Auto, which charges a user's iPod via the car's cigarette lighter socket while the music is playing, was rated highly, although the reviewer said the way the charger cable flapped around could be "irritating and distracting".
Griffin's iTrip is available for £21.99, while the iTrip Auto costs £31.49 and the Kensington RDS FM Transmitter / Car Charger for iPod carries a £59.99 price tag.
