Great sound. Great looks. SIMPLE and EASY. No wires.October 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't imagine an easier product to use. You just:
1) Open the box and snap the three pieces together. 2) Plug the TransDock into your car's cigarette lighter. 3) Plug your iPod into the Transdock. 4) Press the center button on the TransDock. It will find the best (least interference) FM frequency and display it. 5) Tune your car radio to the indicated frequency.
Now whatever you play on your iPod will play on your FM radio. I'm not an audiophile, but the sound quality is very good and clear to my ears. In my rural area, this works great. I've also had no problems in a nearby mid sized city (300,000+) (and never had to change frequencies). I have heard that in major urban areas you may have problems finding a frequency without competing signals. I haven't yet taken this to a large city, so I don't know.
The construction and looks of this unit are very good. It is black and blends very well with the dashboard in both our Honda Civic and our Toyota Tacoma (both with black dashboards). In both cases it looks well integrated - much less kludgey looking than most aftermarket GPS units, for example.
It fits very snugly into the cigarette lighter - it never moves around while I drive over bumpy roads. The gooseneck can be bent a little if you need, but is very rigid and holds its shape. The neck is fairly short - so the bottom of the unit will be about 3 - 4 inches above the lighter socket.
You can't tell from the photo, but the gooseneck attaches near the top of the unit, not the bottom.
There are a couple of jacks in the bottom of the unit marked "AV OUT" and "AUX IN". I haven't had a reason to use them. They are completely out of view in the car since they are on the bottom side.
Other comments: Since this unit is so easy to plug in and remove (and is so small), it would be very easy to take with you in a rental or friend's car.
My (possibly naive) assumption is that the AUX IN port will let you plug in a non iPod mp3 player.
I have a new 4th generation Ipod Nano. It wasn't clear when I bought the Transdock that it would work with the new Nano. No problems there.
not an improvement in FM transmitter qualityJune 16, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product does not improve on the static issues most FM transmitters have. I live in a rural area and was unable to get clear signals on any station the device recommended.
The flexible stand is a great concept, but it moved around too much while driving that it was distracting.
I was really hoping this product would be the solution to having too many wires in my car, but I unfortunately had to return it.

Sony DAV-IS10 Home Theater System $399.97 - $558.99 from 5 stores. User rating:0.0 out of 5.
The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
