    XtremeMac AirPlay2 FM Transmitter for any Dock Connector iPod:XtremeMac AirPlay2 FM Transmitter for any Dock Connector iPod
    If you're absolutely sick of the wires needed to connect your iPod with your car stereo system or home stereo system, then check out the new XtremeMac AirPlay2 FM Transmitter for any dock connector iPod. You plug the AirPlay2 into your iPod, match the FM Frequency on the AirPlay2 with the frequency on your radio, and then push play. Your music will then be played over the air on the specified channel. It just doesn't get easier than that folks.

    I used the original AirPlay FM Transmitter on my most recent vacation and it worked like a charm. The new AirPlay2 is even better than the original as it comes with three programmable station preset buttons and a large, bright LCD screen for easy viewing day or night. Other difference between the old AirPlay and the new AirPlay2 is the method of connecting to the iPod. The old AirPlay connected to the headphone jack while the new one uses the Dock Connector interface. Finally, don't worry if you have the new nano - the new AirPlay2 is just 7mm thick so it matches the look and feel of the nano.

    The AirPlay2 draws its power from the iPod so there's no extra cables to connect. The device comes in either black or white to match the available colors of the new iPod nano. Other AirPlay2 features include:

  • Large, bright LCD for day and nighttime viewing
  • iPod nano powered and compatible with all 30-pin car chargers
  • Three programmable station presets
  • Stereo/mono settings
  • No software required

    Check out the Product Page for additional information on the AirPlay2 FM Transmitter. You can purchase the new AirPlay2 for $59.95.
