you have trouble finding a comfortable position for the TransDock, or it happens to block controls in your car, use the TransDock Extension Arm to try another position. 3. Tune your car stereo to 88.5 FM. This is the initial broadcast frequency for the TransDock. If your TransDock is already plugged in, there should be silence. If 88.5 is not an empty frequency in your area (i.e. there is music or talk already on that station) you may hear static.

frequency can be tricky. Visit www.dlo.com/openfm to find the best frequencies in your area. Here are some tips for finding an empty frequency: • Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to 107.9. Don’t just look to the low end of the dial, because there are often empty FM stations in the 100’s that will work great. • When using the scan/seek function on your car stereo, if your tuner stops on 101 and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequencies for an empty frequency.

Be sure to look in the 100’s, not just in the 80’s or 90’s. Try scanning to a strong station, then back down two frequencies - for example 103.5 to 103.1. If that frequency is taken, try scanning to the next strong station and repeat.
