Sir Radfordin Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 There are a few top-end of the market cars that come with a form of docking station built in to the car for an iPod. BMW is one I think, and there has been talk of the MINI having this system. No doubt others will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 yeah I found out about that a couple of years ago, *after* I had the car cassette player changed for a CD player. That was one bad move :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I've got my ipod hooked up to my car!Uses something called an iTrip. I'm pretty sure they're illegal in this country though. :rolleyes: Still......5000 songs at the touch of a button though! :Phttp://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip/ :shutup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juby Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Eventually You and Yours was deluged by mail from people who knew about the Cassette Adapter, they therefore called in an "Expert" to pronounce on the subject.The expert said 1. The iTrip was probably illegal, and 2. The cassette adapter could not produce quality better then a cassette because it used a cassette!J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfactor Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Illegal? wtf would it be illegal for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juby Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 He said it as probably illegal. An expert would have said it either is or is not.But sadly it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 You see it is much safer to plug in the ipod to a special thing which will break and you will then proceed to veer off the motorway at 70mph into a ditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 HiIt is probably illegal as it is a FM radio transmitter.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
