Play Your iPod Tunes with
any FM Radio!
Cut the wires—Sonnet's PodFreq for Apple iPods with dock connector wirelessly broadcasts your iPod's tunes to any nearby FM radio. Find a frequency on the FM dial with no stations, select the same frequency on PodFreq, and play your music—it's that simple. How does it sound? Superb. PodFreq's advanced audio design ensures superior music quality.
Simple Operation
Operating the PodFreq could not be easier. There's no need to plug in cables, no software to install—just turn on your iPod® and PodFreq, extend the antenna, and you're ready to Freq! Once you've tuned your radio and PodFreq to the same frequency, press play on your iPod and crank up the volume on your radio—share your music library without passing around the earbuds!
Great Sound Quality
PodFreq's sound quality is a cut above the rest. Its smooth, extended frequency response and high signal to noise are achieved through the use of premium quality components designed specifically for FM music transmission. While other manufacturers' products are designed around parts made for wireless microphones, PodFreq is designed to be one of the best sounding FM transmitter available on the market.

Value-Added Features
 Unique Durable Design. Available in traditional iPod white or sleek black (for a limited time), PodFreq requires no batteries and uses a very small amount of power from your iPod. Its durable latching case (with built-in swiveling stand) protects your iPod while leaving its controls easily accessible. The telescoping antenna increases the available FM transmisson range (unlike other FM transmitters) and assures a consistent reception.
 Digital Display. PodFreq's digital tuner with LCD display is visible at a glance, so you don't have to fumble around in menus trying to find which frequency you've selected. With a few simple clicks of the up/down tuning buttons, you can select an optimal drift-free broadcasting to any frequency between 88.3 and 107.7 MHz in 0.1 steps.
 Dock Substitute. Since PodFreq connects to your iPod through the dock connector, we decided to add mini-USB 2.0 and FireWire® ports to PodFreq's case—you can charge and sync your iPod(1) right inside it. No messing around with additional cables or docks. Everything is self-contained. Sync and transfer music and files and/or charge your iPod without removing it from PodFreq (FireWire or mini-USB 2.0 cable required, sold separately).
 Accessible Jacks. PodFreq doesn't connect to the headphone jack, so we made the headphone jack accessible—you can plug in for private listening at any time with separate volume control while you broadcast. PodFreq will also continue broadcasting to a selected FM frequency for those looking to hear your tunes.
Compatibility
- Compatible with iPod models with dock connector:
iPod classic, iPod (with video), iPod (with color display), iPod photo, iPod (with Click Wheel), iPod (with touch wheel and buttons)
