DLO TransDock Micro

To listen to your music player in your rental car you can hope it's equipped with a headphone jack for a direct-to-the-stereo connection, or you'll need an FM transmitter. What's that? You connect your music player to the transmitter, and it transits the music from your music player through the car radio via an open FM frequency. The best FM transmitters offer frequencies out to the outer fringes, from 88.1 all the way out to 107.9, which are most likely to be vacant (or nearly), even in New York and LA. The TransDock in the photo is an old one for the classic iPod, but the company sells a wide variety of FM transmitter models. The iPhone TransDock micro sells for $70.
