iPods in Cars
Friday, August 4, 2006 at 12:14AM iPod automobile interfaces such as cassette adaptors and FM transmitters have proven to be a popular option for new iPod owners, but their days may be numbered, if Harris Interactive's research is any indication: more than half (52 per cent) of consumers who own or use an iPod in their vehicle, and 14 per cent of all adult vehicle owners, said they're extremely or very likely to consider purchasing an interface for their vehicle.FM transmitters and cassette adaptors are the least preferred. Instead, respondents want either an auxiliary jack, Bluetooth, FireWire or USB interface.

Nope, I want a standard DIN size unit that has a front panel that lifts up and allows me to pop in my iPod into the unit. I want it to withdraw the iPod into the unit and close the front panel. I then want to be able to see the iPod info on the front panel and control it either from the front panel or ideally some sort of remote control on the steering wheel (or utilise the existing audio controls)
When the iPod is not docked I suppose I'll also need an MP3 dual layer DVD drive, an FM radio, a memory slot and a USB slot.
Not much to ask!
