iPod Your BMW Officially Launched

Posted by simoniker on from the objects-of-desire dept.

chasingporsches writes "Apple today announced the iPod Your BMW campaign on their front page. According to the iPod Your BMW page, 'Connect with music like never before behind the wheel of your BMW 3 Series, and X3 and X5 SAV, Z4 Roadster or MINI. With the installation of an integrated adapter developed by Apple and BMW, you can now control your iPod or iPod mini through the existing audio system and multi-function steering wheel. Which means no loss of power. No loss of sound quality. No loss of control.' There is also a QuickTime TV ad available for streaming. Apparently it only works with 2002 or later BMWs and Minis, and the iPod connects to a cable in the glove compartment."

    If you're dumb and have enough disposable income to buy a BMW 3-Series or SUV in the first place, you'll be buying the latest and greatest iPod every few months anyway.

    Huh. I'm actually a little surprised that both of those would be considered by the same person. I have a Mini with which I'm extremely happy, but I've always found the Scion (and Honda's Element) to be deeply, profoundly, laughably, painfully, siezure-inducingly ugly.

    No offense. =)
