The Best of the Bunch
I forked over the not insubstantial sum of money for the Transpod with intense skepticism. Having purchased, and been extremely disappointed by, two other iPod FM transmitters (Griffin iTrip & XtremeMac AirPlay), I was not expecting much from DLO. However, based on the recommendation of cNet and other generally good reviews on the web, I decided to take a chance.
Two weeks in and I haven't been disappointed. The Transpod seems to have a much stronger signal than my prior transmitte...

You will NOT REGRET buying this product
Do not believe what anybody tells you about FM Transmitters (except me of course). This product works like a charm. You might hear people say that FM Transmitters don't work or that the sound quality is horrible, don't listen. It works great on the first channel (at least in central Jersey). The sound quality is fine and it is incredibly easy to use. It really fits in any car too. In my car I have a unique situation. The ciggaret lighter is jammed in a small corner right next to the gearshift. I...

Probably the best solution for using your iPod in the car
I wasn't expecting a great solution when I purchased this item. I have tried similar products by other manufacturers and was disappointed. However, the Transpod gave me the sound I was looking for in an easy to install and use package.
Interestingly, I bought a direct connect via tape player type unit as well which is theoretically suppossed to deliver better sound quality. However, I found this was not the case at all. The Transpod does a much better job.
My unit also ...

Save your money
I have 3 of the older, white Transpod units. I purchased this one to better match my black video iPod. I was very pleased with the quality of my older Transpod units and have even given several as gifts. Honestly this one sucks. For my taste it is unusable. Maybe it would be passable for rap music, but for instrumentals or music other than gangster type, the music is not clear. It is not static or interferance, and I tried all frequency ranges. The quality of the output signal is terrible. I tri...

Sub-par performance summarizes this item
I was really looking forward to receiving this device so that I could use my Ipod 5G 60G in my car and my wife's Suburban. I wanted to have the ability to play my Ipod in both vehicles and this seemed like an ideal solution.
Prior to purchasing this device I had heard the Griffin FM transmitter in a co-workers vehicle with their Ipod 5G 30G and I was not impressed. It seemed to get any sort of volume out of the device you had to crank the car stereo to max. The music also seemed reall...

Don't get this one!
Don't get this unit. I purchased it because my other unit allows the iPod to float around the car, and I thought it would be good to have it mounted firmly. However, it has such a weak transmission, I have severe to moderate static at all times. I know it is a signal strength or interference issue because, when I pull into a covered structure (garage, tunnel, etc.) the static clears, and sound quality is fair. If you need a transmitter, I would recommend a Kensington 33199 Digital FM Transmi...

Good but can be annoying
This was my second DLO transpod. I had an older white one that I bought used. I figured I would "upgrade" to this one since my iPod and my car's interior are black. overall the thing performed similarly to my previous one, but with a few little changes.
For one the output of this unit is much lower than its older counterparts. That normally doesn't matter if you choose a good empty frequency, but as you start traveling you notice interference much more than you would expect.

I love it -- clear and constant signal
I was skeptical about this device, because I had been using an iTrip with my 4GB iPod, which could not hold a signal for more than a few minutes, even when stationary.
When I got my 30GB video iPod, I gambled with purchasing this device.
As it turned out, I am utterly delighted with it. The signal is clear and constant, even when driving long distances through hilly terrain. Very highly recommended.

Our Favorite iPod accessory!
We have had a wonderful experience with the Transpot In-Car Cradle. Compared to the Griffin iTrip and casette audio adaptor, this device is a jem! We have used it for a few months on several long drives and local city commute, and find that it is worth every penny. It's key for long trips to have your iPod being charged as you drive. Also, the sound quality is great. Far superior to the iTrip. It's a breeze to change the station even while driving through various cities. The arm extends to a con...

difficulty with the ipod mini
I have a mini - bought it a week before the nanos came out - thats what I get for not doing more research.
This transmitter has been great I have never experienced a lick of static. From other reviews I am reading, I guess the kind of car you have it in makes a difference - mine is mostly used in an 06 Mustang. My only problem is that it does not fit the mini very well and the mini has a tendancy to lean back and rattle on the transmitter. I just reach up and push the ipod back down on...
