Query: Barely Functions As Specified

I was overly excited to have bought this product. Not only would I not need to purchase a separate head unit that plays MP3 files, but I wouldn't need to burn music CDs anymore. Well, IF this iTrip thing would function properly. Griffin says that you get the best sound quality on a station that has nothing but static. You won't find many living in L.A. Once you do, however, there is so much static that you hear during songs that aren't very loud. Louder songs will mask the static. i.e. a slow love song versus rock. Not only that, and I don't know if this is just a defect of my iTrip, after a couple of songs, the intended radio frequency will take over and shut my iTrip out. Its not my volume level because I'm not even touching the player. Nothing but disappointment for a product I very much wanted to enjoy and give a good review for.
