Giffin iTrip and Charger

[Ascentius]

Newbie question to the wonderful (and expansive) world of iPod Accessories. I'm considering purchasing a Griffin iTrip for my iPod Mini. But I also would like a charger that is a cradle. Reason being is this:

1. I really like the functionality of iTrip with it being wireless. Is this compatible with a home stereo system/

2. I would like a Auto Charger/Cradle that plugs directy into the cigarette lighter. Reason being is although the iTrip feeds off of the iPod batter, I would still like to charge it. I figure if I can charge it, it is probably best to do it then.

Is there any good combo of of Griffin's iTrip and a AutoCharger Cradle? I have seen the RoadTrip, and it looks a bit 'clunky'.

Any help would be great, suggestions, practices in use would be great. Thanks.

I just ordered the itrip, I heard good things, but was wondering what everyone else thought. Is the Belkin really that much better?

Well, the iTrip is so-so in my book. After a few days with it, it got a little annoying, but I've learned to deal with the quirks. For starters, sometimes it just locks up and I cannot for the life of me get it to tune. By turning off my ipod then disconnecting the iTrip and plugging it all back in, it fixes it. A pain, but then again, I got the iTrip at a cheap ebay price :-)
