Product Overview
TransDock Direct is an in-car iPod solution that connects your iPod directly
to your car stereo via the car’s auxiliary input with the included Aux-In Cable,
while it charges and cradles your iPod. TransDock Direct also includes a
detachable external 12V Power Socket that allows you to simultaneously
charge other accessories, such as a GPS, gaming device, or mobile phone
while enjoying your iPod. For cars not equipped with an aux-in port, the
TransDock Direct will also work with cassette adapters (sold separately).
