If I were you, I’d re-think purchasing the DLO Tunestick w/ Remote.  First the performance is subpar.  More static and interference than actual music. Secondly and more importantly, since you can only control the frequency by use of the remote device, your S.O.L. if you lose it.  I contacted DLO and asked if it could be purchased separately and I was told in broken english that it wasn’t available.  So now I’ve paid $60 for a uselss piece of technology junk.  In summary, don’t buy this device.  Look for other FM transmitter alternatives.

I found the FM transmitter to be extremely weak. I have to point it at the car stereo at no more than two inches, or it loses signal.

Alternately you can cup the iPod in one hand, which extends the reach a few feet. But nobody in his sane mind should do this.

I didn’t return this gadget because I found that nearby metal also extended the reach. I put the iPod in a ceiling compartment, and the sound is acceptable, with no static but lower volume than any FM station. That and the fact that the steering wheel remote is actually very useful.

I mean, if you don’t mind the reach problem and my workaround, you’ll be happy with it. At least, I like it in the car.
