Product Description
Go mobile in style with Digital Lifestyle Outfitters' TransPod FM! Plays, charges and mounts iPod 3G, iPod 4G, iPod Photo, & iPod Minis. TransPod FM broadcasts iPod to your car stereo via a digital, drift-free, stereo FM Transmitter. Custom-made to our specs just for iPod, TransPod FM is the ultimate car solution - it charges your iPod while it is playing, transmits crisp, clear music through your car stereo speakers and mounts iPod using two jointed charger arms - so iPod is right where you can access it while driving. Simply slide your iPod down into the cradle. Connect the modular auto charger arm to the back of the unit, plug it into your standard 12v cigarette lighter and you are mounted, powered and ready to roll. Dial an unused frequency on your car stereo's FM dial (nothing but static), then dial the TransPod FM's built-in FM Transmitter to match that frequency. Also features an audio/out jack for use with a cassette adapter or auxiliary plug (cassette adapter and auxiliary plug sold separately). Two charger arms and a dash mount option included in the kit give you the flexibility to position iPod anywhere you want it Supports all iPods with dock connector - including iPod 30GB, iPod 40GB, iPod Photo, & iPod Mini Black

Comment: If you don't have a stereo with an entrance for Ipod, this product will help you a lot, you won't use your CD's anymore.

Summary: Just the solution I was looking for 2005-11-29
Comment: After trying and giving up on Belkin's TuneCast II, I tried DLO's Transpod (White). At $100, it's expensive, but you can quickly forget that when you hear the sound quality. Things I like include the following:
1. It uses the 12V power supply and charges the iPod while it's in use
2. The multiple arms make it possible to fit almost any automobile
3. The transmitter is powerful (overrides most stations even in the Bay Area). I've almost never had to switch stations
4. You don't need to use the iPod volume control. The signal (fixed line out) is directly tapped from the multipurpose socket at the bottom of the iPod.
Negatives:
1. No user defined memory settings
2. No aux-in inputs for non iPod devices
Both these features are provided in the new model - in my opinion, that's a better model to choose.

Summary: Product does what it advertises itself to do. 2005-09-27
Comment: I won't repeat what the other reviews have said about some of the shortcomings of this product (such as the extension arms that go into the power outlet - weakly designed in fact the shorter one broke when I was trying to pull it out again from the socket)But I too used the dash mounted option with some industrial strength velcro and it works fine. I will concentrate on what you purchase the product for - sound quality. I am a former recording engineer so I am picky as to what I want to hear. This unit sounds great but with a few caveats. It only sounds as good as the source quality of the music you are playing and have ripped to the IPOD. Regular CDs ripped at 128kbps sound as good as an MP3 will. Also, I think it has a lot to do with the quality of your stereo in the car. My 2004 Prius happened to have a stock Toyota stereo out of the dealership that rocks. I haven't had to do anything to it. Yes it's true that it doesn't use the IPOD's amp so you might have to turn it up a bit, but it does utilize the EQ in the IPOD. Overall I am pleased with the product once I figured out the best way to mount it in my car.

Summary: Decent but there has to be a better solution somewhere out there! 2005-08-28
Comment: I recently received an iPOD Photo and after loading in tons of CD's I said . . . hey why not buy an all in 1 adapter for my car. My transpod arrived but I had difficulty inserting the adapter into my car's charger. After working that out and using it everyday for a week, it stopped working. I realized that the fuse had blown. It's small and relatively compact unlike the Griffin RoadTrip, but it's a whole lot of drama for the price.
With regard to the quality of the sound through my vehicle's audio system, I am extremely disappointed. What sounds like a million dollars through headphones does not translate to what you hear through fm radio frequencies. I have adjusted the iPOD's equalizer and played around with some options inside my car, but I am extremely disappointed. If someone has a better alternative . . . GOD BLESS YOU but don't waste your money on this product.
