Alpine iPod Ready
Alpine are set to introduce iPod Ready — a new car stereo that links up with your iPod :
With a simple one-cable connection, iPod users will be able to operate key playback features from the Alpine receiver’s buttons and have display of playlists, album, artist and songs on the head unit. The iPod can then be safely stored in the glove box or console because it acts like a portable hard drive connected to the head unit through Alpine’s powerful Ai-Net system bus. The Alpine connectivity solution also provides charging of the iPod’s internal battery.
Cool. The unit won’t be available until the summer, and there’s no mention of pricing yet, but hopefully it’ll reach the UK — and maybe even fit the Mini’s dash...
