The DLO TransDock Deluxe is one of the most full-featured iPod FM transmitters on the market. Beyond charging and broadcasting your iPod, the TransDock Deluxe includes an AV output, an auxiliary input, a remote control, and a USB charging outlet.
The DLO TransDock Deluxe is large and not very portable. The elegance and utility of the TransDock Deluxe depends heavily on the location of your car's power outlet. Video output is limited only to 5G iPod.
The DLO TransDock Deluxe ($129) improves on last year's TransPod by adding video output, a USB charging port, a remote control, and a more attractive design. the TransDock is an unapologetically big, beautiful in-car iPod dock that comes in four pieces: a dock, a stand, an extender, and a remote control. Once assembled and connected to your car's cigarette lighter, the TransDock stands out, both physically and aesthetically from your car's console.
One of the biggest selling points for the TransDock is the inclusion of an iPod remote control that fastens to your car's steering wheel. The TransDock's remote features seven buttons for controlling music playback, station selection, preset selection, and iPod backlight activation. A Velcro fastener and tiny brace is used to attach the remote to your steering wheel. This same Velcro strap can also be easily undone, allowing the remote to be reoriented for right- or left-hand use.
Another notable addition to the DLO TransDock Deluxe is the inclusion of a full-size USB port on the bottom of the iPod charging cradle. The USB port can be used for charging most USB-compatible devices, such as cell phones, MP3 players, Bluetooth headsets, or even a Sony PSP.
A composite video output is also included. While video output might seem like a strange feature for an in-car iPod dock, those of you with rear-seat-entertainment displays will find the option valuable on long road trips. Unfortunately, the video output feature on the TransDock is only compatible with the 5G video iPod at the moment.
The DLO TransDock Deluxe is one of the best in-car iPod dock and FM transmitters available. If you're picky about what you plug into your car's console, however, there are more discreet solutions.
