New TransPod color scheme matches more cars

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters anounced today new Black and Siver versions of the TransPod Direct Car Solution ($70) for iPod and iPod mini. The DLO TransPod Direct provides customers with a direct connection to their car stereos that integrates the high-quality line-out audio signal from the bottom of the iPod. The TransPod comes with a built-in charger for the iPod, a cradle to position it for easy access to its controls, a cassette adapter and a mini plug cable. The new Black and Silver TransPod Directs now match most car interiors.

The DLO TransPod Direct Car Solution connects directly to the line output in the bottom dock connector. Users can then plug in either the auxiliary mini cable or cassette adapter to the jack on the side of Transpod Direct to connect to their car stereos.

"The best sound output available from an iPod comes from the 30-pin port on the bottom of the iPod. Merely connecting from the headphone jack at the top of the iPod with a cassette adapter or mini cable does not achieve this level of sound quality."

Like the DLO TransPod All-in-one Car Solution, the TransPod Direct mounts the iPod for easy access to its controls while keeping the iPod charged at the same time. The rotating base arm allows users to position the iPod or iPod mini in their car for easy access.

The DLO TransPod Direct package includes the TransPod Direct Dock, a cassette adapter, a mini auxiliary audio cable, a charger arm and an extension arm so customers can adjust iPod to any position in their car.
