DLO TransDock Deluxe for fine automotive iPodding

DLO is shipping yet another iPod dock, but this one is billed as "the world's first luxury iPod car accessory." I don't know exactly what that is supposed to mean, but the TransDock Deluxe does include a RF remote which appears to strap onto your steering wheel for iPod control without removing your hands from 10 and 2 o'clock like your high school driving instructor insisted (or, looking at the picture, maybe you'll be okay sliding down to 9 o'clock). Anyway, the kit has the standard cigarette lighter charger and FM modulator, but also adds some cool extras like a video out jack for an optional rear-seat video screen and even a powered USB port for charging your phone or other accessories.

The TransDock Deluxe $129.99 from DLO.

DLO Care Kit for iPod

Before you slide your iPod into a $750 coat, you're going to want to make sure it is darn clean. DLO has introduced a new cleaning solution (ha! another one.) which promises to keep your iPod tidier than Steve Jobs' desk (you know that man must be a neat freak). DLO Care Kit for iPod comes with three different cleaning liquids:
  • Daily Cleaner
  • Fine Scratch Remover
  • Heavy Scratch Remover
Plus you get 4 cleaning pads and a microfiber cleaning cloth. Not too bad a deal for the low, low price of $29.99.

DLO begins shipping HomeDock Deluxe

This is what Apple's Universal iPod Dock should do. When connected to your TV, the HomeDock Deluxe by DLO offers on-screen navigation of your iPod's music library (C.K. took a look at the original HomeDock in January). It works with all iPods that have a dock connector, and will also let you watch stored videos/photos via S-video or AV. The included 20-button remote may lack Apple's minimalist elegance, but you can use it to search album, artist, title genre and so on, as well as skip, replay, pause, etc. Plus, it charges your iPod while docked.

You can pick one up for $149.99US.

DLO introduces the nanoTune

DLO today announced the availability of the nanoTune, an accessory for the iPod nano that's designed to fill several roles. When connected to your nano, the nanoTune acts as protective case, FM transmitter, FM radio and headphone amplifier (DLO claims a 25% increase in volume, to the delight of audiologists everywhere). It will also connect to your car charger or Apple dock via the built in 30 pin connector.

It seems to add a good amount of bulk to the otherwise sleek nano, but the pictures on the site are kind of small. You can grab one for $69.99US.

DLO iPod solution coming to Volvo cars

I've been wanting a Volvo for quite a long time, though I must admit that my first choice would be a P1800. But, I guess the new ones are OK, too. Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) have announced that their in-car iPod kit will be available as a dealer-installed option (in the US) on several Volvo models, including the S40, V50, and XC90. The kit will work with both the iPod and iPod nano, and run you US$139 (not including installation).

That's nice, but I'd still rather have my classic coupe.
