Default Another Ipod Related Thread

Sorry to beat a dead horse, I need a definitive top 5 choices for fm/transmitter/charger for my nano 2gb, I have searched the web until my eyes turned red and cant find a solid yes or no. all of the reviews are either awesome or downright dreadful.

so please help me with your experiences with these issues and i am pooling the top five recomendations and will decide that way. I do not wish to wire it direct to my factory monsson head unit as I am using the ipod in three diff vehicles and the cig lighter is already installed and ready to go.


Thanks for reading my jibberish. as alwasy the opinions here help out alot.

The best I've used is the DLO Transdock ... it's about $100 but it's worth it. Transmitter and charger ... easy to use. I guess this is the new design ...

I have a hard wired Ipod hooked up to my Monsoon deck. It has a circuit that will charge my Ipod when the car is on. I bought it $100 from Best Buy. Crystal clear CD quality music.

Edit: I just read the bottom part of your paragraph. With my set up I can still take out the Ipod whenever I please. Its hard wired but its not permanent.

Before I got the Alpine and hardwired it I used the DLO & it worked great for what it is. I could realy only here the static in between songs othere than that it sounded pretty good.
