  • New iPod intergration solution (even better perhaps?)

    http://www.imedock.com/

    From engadget:
    "If you're genuinely frustrated with fuzzy (and "dangerous") FM transmitter results, and aren't exactly keen on wiring up a separate connection for each DAP you own, Integrated Mobile Electronics has your solution. In a presumed attempt to alleviate the frustration of priopritary DAP-to-automobile liaisons (and grab the entire market's attention), the startup has unveiled the iMe in-car docking station. The device, like most other hardwired options, will require a good bit of DIY handiwork (and Excedrin Migraine pills), but will apparently channel audio to your sound system and even video to your LCD-equipped whip. The package will reportedly support the Apple iPod / nano, Microsoft Zune (including the unannounced "80GB" version), Creative Zen Vision:M, SanDisk Sansa, and iRiver Clix right out-of-the-box, and even touts the ability to charge your device while docked. While it's being marketed as an end-all solution to your in-car docking station needs, these all-in-one contraptions should certainly be approached with caution -- and while there's no info on pricing or availability, you can see its potential for yourself at the SEMA expo this month."

    Looks like this could be perfect for some around here, myself included. The added ability to play video through the in dash video player is very cool as well. This may fit perfectly in the g6 in front of the little cubby hole under the climate control. Wait and see!!!

    No info on pricing....which probably means it will cost $400.

      i'm curious as to how many people actually use multiple mp3 players. i would tend to think most only own one or only use one at a time.

        Me too...I have several devices that can play MP3s (PSP, cell phone, PDA) but only use my iPod. The iPod is the only device I have that actually has MP3s on it (other than my computers, of course).

          I only have one that I use for mp3's as well. (ipod) But there are a good number of times where I have friends who have other devices and want to put music on. ie "you've got to hear this song".

          But you're right on the price, i'd say it'll be around 299 to 399.

          The hardwired,charging and non-cigarette adapter using features are nice tho.

                I think he meant an aux input on the head unit.

                    Yea I saw that, but how? Isn't there a lack of an auxillary input into the radio, hence the problem we have now anyway?

                      just checked out their website, g6 doesn't seem to be currently supported. Actually, everything on the page is just a preorder. I really wish the axxess box would work with zune like it does the iPod.
