Alpine to Release iPod Interface in Autumn 2004

Posted by simoniker on from the over-the-hills-and-far-away dept.

jeblucas writes "Not to be outdone by the recent iPod your BMW news, Alpine updated the details on their iPod interface for those of us who want to spend cash on the sound system, rather than the logo. Apparently announced in January (?), this should be available this fall. Sweet! You can ask for more info by emailing Alpine directly."

  1. Three words: Toyota Prius interface by Samir+Gupta · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It would be the ultimate geek tech marriage: the ultimate geek music player with the ultimate geek car.

    Apparently, these guys have modded the Prius audio/touch screen system to control a XM receiver, complete with onscreen title display, so I imagine it can't be that hard to support an iPod as well, right, especially if Apple were to help?

  2. iTrip sort of works... by unclejeb · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seriously, I wouldn't mind a decent car stereo interface considering my iTrip tends to get interference forcing me to constantly move things around all the time. I have tried the tape cassette thingy too but things get pretty hairy when my feet get tangled up in the cable. Makes it hard to concentrate while digging about the passenger seat area for my sunglasses (or cell phone).
