iPod Video Driving
01.04.07 - 03:46pm
Cars have been integrated with iPod adaption by more than 70% for 2007. Now car manufacturers are not only playing the music, they are also streaming the video.
Car-stereo units are being integrated into cars allowing consumers to download video from their iPod and play it on backseat video screens. The units are not leaving the driver out either as some allow for the video to be played on the vehicles navigation screen, albeit only when the car is in park.
Alpine Electronics has just introduced an adapter the KCE-415i which has been available in Europe since July and retails for $90. The adapter connects video iPods to the car’s entertainment system. Vice President Stephen Witt says “It’s going to be very popular. The consumer wants to bring these portables into their vehicles.”
