Rockbox and itrip

Nope, it won't. My iTrip doesn't work, so I just boot my iPod up into regular OS to use it. I also have a sounddock with a remote for it. It plays the music fine, but I can't use any controls, like pause, volume control, and skip with my remote when my iPod is docked. I don't mind it though.

While any FM transmitter which plugs into the headphone jack will work, there is no blanket answer for the FM transmitters which plug into the dock connector.  Even though dock-connected audio accessories get their audio signal from the line-out pins (which are always live, regardless of firmware), some of them will not operate unless they are able to communicate with the iPod over the serial pins.  Since Rockbox does not use the dock serial connection, much less emulate the Apple communications no device which expects a serial connection will work.

Someone should compile a quick wiki page for dock-connected iPod accessories known to work (and known not to work) with Rockbox.  Maybe I'll even get off my butt to do it.
