DLO TRANSDOCK CLASSIC USER MANUAL

Using a Cassette Adapter or Your Car’s Auxiliary Input

TransDock Classic can be connected to your car stereo with a cassette adapter

or  a  mini-to-mini  cable  for  cars  with  aux-in  jacks.  This  is  great  because

TransDock Classic will provide access to the superior line out signal from your

TransDock Classic to your cassette adapter or car input, while still cradling and

charging your iPod.

The AV-Out port for these applications is located on the right side of  TransDock

Classic. Simply plug your cassette adapter or mini cable (available separately)

into the Line-Out jack on the right side of TransDock Classic, then plug your cas-

sette adapter or mini cable directly into your car as you normally would.

Using Other MP3 Players or Devices

TransDock Classic will also transmit the audio from other devices like MP3 play-

ers, portable gaming systems, portable DVD players, etc. To do this, plug your

device into TransDock Classic’s Aux-In jack using a standard male-to-male mini

cable  (available  separately).  TransDock  Classic  will  broadcast  the  attached

device’s audio over your car’s FM radio. 

When  TransDock  Classic  is  broadcasting  audio  from  another  device,  it  is  very

sensitive to the variable output levels of that device. To get the best sound and

performance  in  this  situation,  you  will  need  to  adjust  the  volume  level  of  your

device  up  or  down  very  carefully  until  there  is  no  distortion.  Then,  control  the

overall volume of the audio with your car stereo’s volume, not the device.

I can’t seem to find a comfortable fit for TransDock Classic in my car. 

All car interiors are different in the placement of their auto power outlets. 

It can be challenging to fit TransDock Classic into certain cars. Start by loos-

ening the Charger Arm for complete flexibility when attempting to fit the unit

into your car. Then, try using the Extension Arm to fit difficult or out-of-the-

way positions. If you have tried all possible adjustments and still can’t find a

good connection, please visit our website at

My music is playing, but there seems to be a lot of static.

Use IntelliTune to automatically find the optimal frequency to broadcast your

iPod over your car’s FM radio. Then, tune your car’s FM radio to the frequency

displayed on TransDock. 

My radio will only scan/seek to occupied FM stations.

Many car radios default to scan/seek mode for tuning, so they automatically

tune to a radio station. Also, most of these radios can be switched to manual

tuning (consult your car or stereo manual on how to do this).
