Summary: Weak FM transmitter 2007-07-25
Comment: I had a last generation DLO FM transmitter which I bought for $30. It worked great but the lighter plug thing lost some bolts and the wires got torn out so I threw it away.
I was suprised to find the current generation costing $70. I bought this one and the transmitter is very weak. Even on dead-air stations, passing your hand next to the unit will cause it to fade out. At best it sounds like a FM station 100+ miles away.
Overall ergonomics of this unit are good. Its a good fiit in my truck and came with a few 'arm' options. I was mad enough to buy a competitor model to try and it had the same problem. I am guessing the FCC cracked down on them or something. Device does have a 'line-out' so I'lll be buying a casette adapter soon.

Summary: Not as Good as the Old One 2007-06-20
Comment: I had an older version of this DLO Tranpod Transmitter which worked great. Great reception and sound. It even transmitted to 87.9, my preferred empty station. When the old one broke (I had it about 2 years) I wanted the same one, since I really liked the cradle and it worked so well.
BUT the new one IS TERRIBLE! Apparently it's another generation, or something, but it doesn't tune to the station that I want, and more importantly, the sound quality is extremly distorted...when it transmits at all. BEWARE! Don't buy this item! I will be returning mine.

Summary: Good gadget 2007-04-17
Comment: Although the arm could be improved upon, this is a good transmitter. Compared to the Griffin iTrip we already owned, the reception / transmission of the DLO Transpod is much greater. We would definitely purchase it again.

Summary: Good but has some short comings 2007-04-13
Comment: I just wanted to take a minute to talk about some of the things I didn't see in the other reviews. Overall this product is probably the best FM transmitter I had. I tried others from griffin and belkin and they weren't even close to the performance of DLO, but DLO still has some short comings. For one, the arm is quite awkward. You are pretty limited in the locations in which you can direct the arm, resulting in the ipod somewhat pointing away from you and also making it kind of cumbersome to move your shifter around. Overall, it is built very well. The 2nd generation has a usb port for charging your cellphone, which is really nice and video out for the video ipods. I live in a moderately urban environment so finding a station is tough and one thing I noticed is that if I hold my hand or leg to the bottom of the transmitter that I get better reception. Pretty weird? It's definitely the best transmitter out there, so don't consider the others, but you might want to look into other items first.
