iPod transmitters for the card generally have one main problem — they make you take your eyes off the road when you want to change tracks. The DLO TuneStik attempts to change that by breaking the product into two modules — the transmitter pack attaches to the bottom of your iPod, like normal, while there’s a separate remote control that straps onto your steering wheel. It does manage to keep your eyes closer to the road when you want to change tracks or adjust the volume, but if you’re not careful it may interfere with your steering, especially if the velcro strap that attaches the remote to the steering wheel is a bit loose. Strap it tight!
