These Are A Few of My Favorite Things...

Check out an announcement for the integration between two of my favorite products; the Apple iPod and BMW.

Unfortunately, the article does not specifically state my Beemer (a 5 series), but something interesting nonetheless. With Alpine announcing an iPod adapter, you might start to see the iPod replace CD changers and those custom MP3 player solutions.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Now we're really beginning to get into the digital confluence that I've been waiting for. I use my PDA with a dinky 256 meg SD card to listen to music and books on my car tape deck all the time. I can't wait for this to become easier to use and control.

Speaking of digital confluence, here are two other devices that allow MP3 players (one an iPod solution, one a custom solution) through the STOCK BMW radios.

IceLink (iPod)
Phatnoise (Custom)

Both support cars other than BMWs.

Interesting. I wonder if they'll have this available for my Z3.

Right now, we use the $30 iRock from (believe it or not) Radio Shack. It blows the iTrip away, and works wonderfully.
