Griffin Itrip range extender hack

The Spymac forums have a post by Brock Robert’s who illustrates the way to extend the range of your Griifin iTrip for your apple ipod. I must admit that I have the same problem but I am nervous about doing this.. but…
 
‘I was sick and tired of how everytime I pulled up to a traffic light, my iTrip would cut out or hiss. I solved the problem.

1. First, i used a razorblade to pry the unit open.

2. Then, i got a paperclip and tightly wrapped a long section of copper wire   around it like a spring.

3. After taking the copper wire off the paperclip, I slid it over the existing antenna, then with a section of heat shrink to seal it and you would not believe how much better it is.

4. Then I popped it back together, and now its AMAZING!

I have no static in it at all now. and i can go over 60-70 feet away   and it also makes the higs and the lows better.’
