DigiDock AC-2115 in-car FM Transmitter
I have been hearing about the DigiDock AC-2115 but it is just recently that I have learned about the clear features of this gadget.
Not knowing that this time, this FM transmitter has been available in the market last February 2007.
Considered as an in-car FM transmitter for any audio device, it has a built-in USB port for charging most generic devices. With a generic audio mini-jack for sound connectivity, one can plug in any standard audio device, which includes iPods. The built in USB port supplies a standard 5 Volt charge to any device you plug into it. That is to charge MP3 players, phones or any other gadget with the use of the standard port.
For convenience, the AC-2115 is rotatable in 180 degrees. For that, positioning the transmitter comfortably wouldn’t be a hard job. However, the device is made with leaner quality, based on Chinese plastic. So, it is quite a bit fragile.
According to thescene.com, “While the blue power LED is useful for being able to tell when the unit is on, the scale and brightness of the thing might give the interior of your car a bit of a UFO movie glow at night.” A bit freaky yet exciting, isn’t it?
As described, this FM transmitter is cheap, versatile and effective without restricting itself to specific brand name compatibility. You could own one with your $40 in the pocket.
To sum it up:
• Pros:
- Cheaper than most competitor products.
- Has built in USB charger for any compatible device.
- Good sound quality.
- Works with any device, not just iPods.
• Cons:
- Fairly plasticky construction.
- Annoying huge, blue LED lights up whole car at night.
