Product Description:
The iPod has gone wireless and its contents can be transmitted over select FM radio stations. And that’s not all! You can also use this with any MP3 or digital media player - even a PSP! Say “Hi” to the newest member of the DLO TransPod family, the TransDock micro. Enjoy your iPod’s music in your car while you keep your iPod fully charged with the DLO TransDock micro. The DLO TransDock micro is based on the award-winning design of the DLO TransPod. It plays any iPod’s music over any car stereo. The TransDock micro is the most flexible, cost-effective car solution for the iPod you can buy. It comes with a removable USB charge and sync cable that can be used at home or on the road. That’s an added $20 value! TransDock micro also features a beautiful black and white color scheme that matches any car’s interior as well as your iPod. The TransDock micro broadcasts the iPod’s music to any FM radio frequency from 88.1 to 107.9 while keeping it charged.

Customer Reviews

you get what you pay for.. by B. Dumas
This product is worth what you are paying for. Of course it has static 50% of the time, but that all depends on where you are, but turn it up and it’s not so terrible…but it’s still kind of lame. It hasn’t broken yet since i’ve had it…which has been a month. Not a bad product!

Pretty Good by C. Volenec
I read alot of good things about this transmitter working well and having a large fm station base to search from. And it definitely delivers in that aspect. I’m glad I didn’t waste my time or money with the low budget ones I saw. You have to turn the volume up on the device before you plug it into the transmitter or it sounds weak. If you try to turn the volume up once it’s all connected, the difference in volume is severly minute, however if you disconnect the device, turn it up, then reconnect, the volume is much louder and clearer, I’ve found. I try to remember to turn my mp3 player up before I connect it.

My only real gripe is that when the item was deliverewd, the faceplate was popped off and the volume buttons on each side had fallen off. It wasn’t that tricky to get it back on. I did have to tape the faceplate on to keep it from falling off and spilling my volume buttons again, but whatever. There is infrequent hissing and buzzing, but that’s radio for you.

The housing around the faceplate is not very sturdy, but the sound and frequency of channels make this device worth the money in my opinion.

Not quite Happy by T. Munyer
I have conflicting thoughts on this item. It didn’t fit in my lighter because it stuck out too far for my gear shift, so I had to put inside my center console outlet leaving the cord hanging out. Luckily it is very powerful and the signal makes it to my radio fine through the closed console.

The major downside, is I do not have many available fm channels so I get interference, hissing and sometimes a morse code sound.

It is very simple to use, and I will continue using it until I can get a hard wired stereo.

Works great by Bo
I took back a Griffin itrip in order to purchase this. I wanted a transmitter in order to play my ipod on my boat, which did not have an aux hookup. I had heard good things about DLO products in general although had heard nothing about this product specifically. On the river, the receptions were comparable between the itrip and the Transdock micro, but working on the boat in the driveway, the DLO gave me a much better signal and transmission than the itrip, no matter how many channels I tried transmitting to. It is also very easy to use and to program. It is a nice size…inconspicuous and easy to adjust to where ever the placement needs to be. I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend this transmitter.
