Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) ,makers of iPod accessories like the TransPod and HomeDock, have introduced the DLO nanoTune for iPod nano. It combines an FM Transmitter, FM Radio and Headphone Amplifier into one convenient unit. The nanoTune’s FM Transmitter allows owners to play their iPod nano’s music in the car, at home, anywhere there’s a stereo. It also adds an FM radio to the iPod nano for on-the-go news, sports and weather updates. Other unique features include a headphone amplifier, an integrated protective case that doubles as a desktop stand, and a 30-pin iPod connector for use with all existing iPod car chargers and most iPod docks.
The DLO nanoTune plays iPod nano’s music wirelessly over any available FM radio frequency from 88.1 to 107.9. Drivers and passengers can enjoy iPod nano’s music on their next road trip or commute to work. The at-a-glance backlit LCD conveniently displays the current frequency. The nanoTune works with all existing iPod car chargers to keep everything fully powered. With nanoTune’s integrated desktop stand, users can also set it on their stereo and enjoy iPod nano’s music wirelessly in their house.
With a push of nano Tune’s Mode button, the nanoTune switches to FM Radio Mode - providing instant news, talk, sports and weather updates. The nanoTune is also the perfect companion for the health club or gym where TV audio is often broadcast via FM radio.
Switching to iPod Mode, the nanoTune increases the iPod nano’s volume output by over 25%. This makes listening to the iPod in noisy locations like a train or airplane much easier. The boost also helps out when the iPod nano is being shared with a headphone splitter.
As an added bonus, the nanoTune re-positions the iPod nano’s headphone port to the top of the unit, making headphone access more convenient. Owners can control their iPod nano using the nanoTune’s external controls, including Next Track, Previous Track, and Volume Control.
“The nanoTune might be the only accessory an iPod nano owner will ever need,” said Jeff Grady, CEO of DLO. “In designing the product, we realized that protecting the nano was critical. Then, with a transmitter, FM radio and headphone amp, we were working with an end-all, be-all nano accessory.”
Pricing and Availability: The DLO nanoTune Transmitter/FM Radio/Headphone Amplifier costs $69.99 and is available now. For more info please visit www.dlo.com.
I just bought this nanotune and the input doesnt fit the nano precisely. The input is off by a few MM so the plastic covering wont close. Anybody else having this issue?

I just got a brand new FM Transmitter for iPod TTERS DLO and when I tried to plug it in to my car and turn it on I can not seem to get it to do just that... turn on. I have read the instructions and it seems simple enough, however I am wondering if there is something that I am not doing that I should be.
I turn on my car, plug the adaptor into the outlet, put my iPod into the transmitter and then press the power button to turn on the transmitter. Am I missing a step? Please Help!
Thanks
