DLO TransPod All-in-One Car Solution for iPod (Black) Reviews
I'll never buy electronics from amazon again. 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 work as a pizza delivery driver).Once you find a main channel though it generally works very nicely. Sometimes you need to change stations that it transmits a couple of times in a 8 hr period. The DLO transpod works well.
Worth it. I've tried all other fm transmitters and there is always static, not on this product. This is probably the best product, also, the best company for creating this type of device. I push down my antenna in my car and get "cd quality" sound.
Looks good and i'm well pleased with 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. Price is fair.
If you have more money to spend you might want to; friends that have units in the $100 range seem more satisfied with them. Also, the volume of the original content is attenuated, making it hard, and sometimes impossible, to `crank the music.'. 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. There is a challenge in metro areas, even when there is no station broadcasting on a given frequency. 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.
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. 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. Sound quality ranges from good to fair, at times. The TransPod could have been designed better to allow for this while driving. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase.
The TransPod has some design usability challenges, too. For $50 this is *fair* value for money, but I'd only recommend the unit on that basis of price.
