Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO), in partnership with ProClip USA, is providing its iPod car solution technology to Volvo Cars of North America.
The Volvo FM Transmitter is a dealer installable iPod solution for Volvo models S40, V50, and XC90. Based on DLO’s patented car solution for iPod, the Volvo iPod FM Transmitter offers a powered cradle for the iPod and iPod nano that transmits iPod’s music to any available FM radio frequency. The Volvo FM Transmitter for Apple iPod is available now through Volvo dealerships for US$139 (installation not included).
The Volvo FM Transmitter for Apple iPod is a dealer installed solution that broadcasts iPod’s music over the Volvo FM radio in stereo sound. It uses any available FM frequency, from 88.1 to 107.9 and frequencies can be selected with tuner buttons. Power is provided via a fuse protected, hard-wired connection to Volvo’s internal automotive power.
The unit is mounted directly to the dashboard and provides access to all iPod controls and functions. An AUX input is also provided, allowing other audio devices like game systems or portable DVD systems to play their audio through the Volvo FM Transmitter.
