Amazon.com Product Description
The DLO TransPod is the ultimate iPod car accessory. The TransPod plays music from your iPod over your car stereo, it charges your iPod, and it mounts iPod wherever you want it--and it works perfectly with the new video iPod and iPod nano. The TransPod broadcasts the iPod's music to any FM radio frequency from 88.1 to 107.9 while simultaneously charging and cradling the iPod in the car.

This model comes in black, but it's also available in silver and white. The all-new DLO TransPod features a smaller, sleeker design with a beautiful curved form and easy-access controls.

 DLO TransPod All-in-One Car Solution for iPod (Black) September 19, 2008

The sound for this Ipod Transpod was absolutely horrible. I sent the product back and I'm still waiting to see if I'll get my refund. I'll never buy electronics from amazon again.
 Good Buy July 30, 2008

The DLO transpod works well. Sometimes you need to change stations that it transmits a couple of times in a 8 hr period. (I work as a pizza delivery driver.)Once you find a main channel though it generally works very nicely.
 Great Product July 17, 2008

This is probably the best product, also, the best company for creating this type of device. I've tried all other fm transmitters and there is always static, not on this product. I push down my antenna in my car and get "cd quality" sound. Worth it!

A really good product, works as per description, found it helpful that it boosts the iPods low volume output to the car sterio unit by using the bottom port. Looks good and i'm well pleased with it. Price is fair.
 Good enough for most driving June 27, 2008
Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase. Sound quality ranges from good to fair, at times. If you're in the middle of nowhere, there's usually no problem finding an open station; setting the unit to that frequency; and playing music at a decent volume.
There is a challenge in metro areas, even when there is no station broadcasting on a given frequency. Despite, say, 90.3 FM being nothing but white noise on the car radio, this unit struggles to maintain a clear, undistorted, continuous signal when set to that frequency. Also, the volume of the original content is attenuated, making it hard, and sometimes impossible, to `crank the music.'
The TransPod has some design usability challenges, too. It is very annoying that you have to remove the iPod from the dock to scroll downward, or use the round dial when navigating on the iPod. In fact, this really bothers me, taking it in and out of the "shoe" all the time, having to take my eyes quite a bit off the road. The TransPod could have been designed better to allow for this while driving.
For $50 this is *fair* value for money, but I'd only recommend the unit on that basis of price. If you have more money to spend you might want to; friends that have units in the $100 range seem more satisfied with them.
