DLO 002-0216 NanoTune FM Transmitter and Radio for iPod Nano Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second FM transmitter I have bought for my car. First I owned the BELKIN, which I do not reccommend at all. It could not hold reception for anything. This one works great! I have a GMC Yukon with a stock radio. I was going to get a new radio, but if you are familiar with GM cars, you'll know that they need an additional $110.00 worth of wires, harnesses and dash kits to put in any aftermarket stereo. Add that to the "Brain" as they call it, you need to make your new stereo iPod compatible and it adds up quick. I just did not want to put $400-$600 into that right now.
The transmitter is great for fm reception too. I love love love that it has that clear little cover that keeps fingers and any surface at all off of my iPod. We all know how badly these things scratch!
My only nitpick's are that it really needs a armband or a pocketsnap. If I wanted to take it with me on a walk or to the gym (to use the fm radio part) I would have to stick it in my pocket or hold it.
Also, I would like it if the back was anti skid for when I set it down in my car. It really slides around, so I set it in the cupholder. Unless I have drinks, then I have to set it on the console where it it constanly skidding around and falling on the floor if I corner too fast. (Or if my husband is driving!)
Lastly, if you live in a area where it is hard to find a good clear station to use, try plugging your iPod earphones into it. This somehow helps clear up static if there is any.
I bought this from a local store and paid about $15.00 more plus tax. I should have bought it here.

The DLO 002-0216 nanoTune FM Transmitter and Radio for iPod Nano is the only Nano accessory you will ever need. The nanoTune combines a powerful FM Transmitter that plays your Nano's music over any radio, with a built-in FM receiver that lets you listen to the radio over your iPod as well. Furthermore, the DLO 002-0216 boosts the Nano's volume by over 25-percent, and provides your iPod with a protective case that still provides you with access to all the iPod Nano's controls.
The DLO nanoTune features a flip-up, clear plastic cover and housing that envelope and protect your iPod Nano from scratches, light knocks, and the wear and tear of daily use. The nanoTune has a built-in 30-pin connector so you can use it with your existing car charger, HomeDock or Apple Universal Dock to sync and charge your Nano without having to remove your iPod from the safety of the nanoTune case. This unit also gives you access to the iPod Nano's click wheel while it's still inside the case, and it can be used as a desktop stand for your Nano by simply opening the clear cover and rotating it back underneath the case.
The handheld DLO nanoTune wirelessly plays an iPod Nano's music over any available FM radio. The built-in FM Transmitter broadcasts your Nano's music in a car, over a home stereo or even a portable radio like the DLO iBoom, and will broadcast over any FM frequency from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz with a range of 10 feet. Simply find an unused or weak frequency on your FM radio, match the station on your nanoTune, and play your Nano's music out loud -- with the volume and quality advantages of your stereo.
Unlike many other FM transmitters, the nanoTune also adds an FM receiver that allows you to listen to the radio over your iPod Nano. When you want to quickly check the weather or a sports score, or simply wish to some music you might not already have, you can just push a button and your nanoTune switches to FM Radio mode. During this mode, the nanoTune automatically pauses your iPod in order to play your favorite news, sports, weather, music or talk radio stations without losing your place in case you are just checking something quickly. This makes the nanoTune a perfect solution for use in the gym, allowing you to quickly switch back and forth between your Nano's music and a monitor's radio stations with ease.
The DLO nanoTune lets you switch modes on the fly, and when in iPod Mode increases the Nano's volume output by over 25-percent via a built-in headphone amplifier. This unit lets you tune the FM radio, and control your Nano using the nanoTune's external controls, which feature buttons for next track and previous track, volume control with headphone amplifier, FM station tuning for both Radio mode and FM Transmitter mode, and Mode selection. When in iPod mode, the nanoTune is powered by your iPod, but since it works with any iPod charger it is easy to recharge your Nano's batteries virtually anywhere. The DLO 002-0216 nanoTune has a stylish black finish that complements your iPod Nano, and it's backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty.
