Hmmm. last week there was a solution from ProClip that was looking to run around $150.
The DLO looks to be a viable affordable solution.
Can’t wait for the reviews of the members here.

This is what I got from DLO concerning the iPhone:
“Dear Sir/Ma’am,

Thank you for contacting DLO online support.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we currently cannot claim compatibility at this time, DLO products have to be recertified by Apple in order to state compatibility.  We are in the process of this now. 

If you have further questions, please call us at 866-892-4764.

Thank you,
Alicia
DLO Technical support”

I am assuming it actually works but are waiting on Apple.

I just bought this today. It is great in a lot of ways except for one. The sound quality! On my car stereo it produced very distorted sound. I used to have the flexdoc but it is not compatible with itouch 2G. I thought this was a great solution. It was until I heard the sound. My flexdoc had a high/lo switch and that is missing here. It produces volume that is too powerful for my car stereo. I hope others have better luck.

I want to revise my comments above. It is awesome and does sound great. I don’t think it was the units fault. I have an old cassette player and switched and it sounds better. I also normalized my music and put sound check on which helped. It is a nice unit and works great on the new ipod touch.

Did you say you are using a cassette adapter? I bought this at Best Buy this weekend and only had a chance to test it this morning. I have an ‘05 Toyota Highlander/standard stereo w/ a tape deck and no auxiliary port. Didn’t like the sound quality at all connected to my 32GB Ipod Touch (first gen). The lows were okay but the mid to high’s gave a sort of crackling sound (almost the same sound when you have the treble to high). I’m no audiophile but I’m wondering if I have a faulty TransDock or if it’s the Transdock/stereo combination. I’m using the Philips PH2050W cassette adapter. I wanted to eventually upgrade the stereo but for the mean time I thought this could be a okay solution. I’ll test out the stereo with my SendStation PocketDock Line Out USB connected directly to my Touch and see if I’m getting the same sound. Any one have any other suggestions before I resort to returning the TransDock?

What does the gooseneck mount to on the “car” end?

It plugs into the car charger, hence the lack of wires for powering he device. I think it’s great that way, I don’t like wires much.

Of course at $60 I would need to have option to return it if I don’t like it. BestBuy seems to have them online and in-store (in my area) so that’s where I’m heading soon-ish.

I received a respond from their customer service telling me that this device will not work with the iPhone 3G. ;-(

Is this an FM transmitter as well?

CNET’s review of it confirms that is “works” with the iPhone 3G but you will get a compatibility warning from the iPhone when you plug it in.  However, the charging and audio functionality are in place.
