DLO TransDock Deluxe (2008)

Recently updated to provide video-out compatibility with the late 2007 iPod lineup, DLO's TransDock Deluxe ($130) otherwise takes a detour in the evolution of the family. Unlike the $100 TransDock, this Deluxe version omits the new styling and flexible gooseneck mount in favor of last year's antenna-focused design and older twin pipe mounting system. But it adds a steering wheel-ready RF remote control to the package, as well as AV cables that need to be purchased separately for the standard TransDock. Second- and third-generation nano inserts are included this time, as are last year's silver and black replaceable faceplates, and Deluxe is the only unit in the family with a pass-through USB port for charging a second device.

DLO TransDock (2008)

As the most impressively overhauled addition to the TransDock family, DLO's 2008 version of TransDock ($100) has finally received the gooseneck feature that we've been waiting for years to see as a part of this in-car FM transmitter, charger, and mounting system. With streamlined body styling and open sides, the new TransDock includes an optional stabilizer for the iPod touch, as well as a pop-out circular rear pad to fit various iPod models. In addition to manual tuning, it also supports IntelliTune, a feature that can automatically hunt for clear FM stations to broadcast on. On the bottom are AV Out and Aux-In ports, enabling you to connect another device for audio purposes, or connect TransDock to an in-car video or audio system via cables (sold separately).

Model: TransDock Classic

Price: $80

Compatible: iPod 4G, 5G, classic, mini, nano, touch

DLO TransDock Classic

Based upon a considerably earlier version of the TransDock/TransPod, DLO's new TransDock Classic ($80) is a rounded iPod car mount with an FM transmitter, line-out audio port, and car charger built in. The biggest addition to TransDock Classic is IntelliTune, a feature that enables the unit to find clear FM stations to broadcast on; manual tuning buttons are still available. TransDock Classic otherwise preserves past family features, such as twin plastic pipes that can be joined together to let you position the iPod at different heights and angles; aux-in is also available for connection of non-iPod devices.

Model: TransDock Micro (2008)

Price: $60

Compatible: iPod 4G, 5G, classic, mini, nano, touch

DLO TransDock Micro (2008)

Substantially redesigned from its predecessor, the 2008 version of TransDock Micro is an all-in-one FM transmitter and charging cable with several interesting features. The FM transmitter is found in a car charger mounted bulb that is flexible for positioning on your choice of angles. A silver dial on the front surrounds a blue-on-black LCD screen, together letting you tune stations and activate Intellitune, a clear station finder. DLO's thin, integrated Dock Connector cable is highly case-compatible, as well. Otherwise, TransDock Micro is the most feature-limited product in the expanded TransDock family, intentionally lacking aux-in or -out features.
