Scion will have Standard Apple iPod Connectivity for 2008

advertisement

Scion will now offer standard fully-integrated iPod connectivity and control across the product line for 2008.

Apple iPod connectivity is standard across the Scion lineup for 2008. Scion's standard 160-watt maximum output Pioneer AM/FM/CD audio system features a head unit with iPod control. This head unit integrates track, artist and album information from the iPod into a one-line display on the head unit's screen. Connectivity is achieved by simply plugging the iPod into a port via a connector cable, providing outstanding sound quality through the car's stereo system and constant power to the iPod. Music is controlled through the head unit and steering wheel audio controls.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I've had full iPod control for a couple years now (via 3rd party add-on deck and interface from Alpine) and I must say it rocks! This is so much more than simply running your iPod through an FM transmitter, or even connecting directly to the stereo via an aux port. This is full control from the deck, with full ID tag display (artist, album, track name, etc.) and full browing of playlists and catalog.

More and more auto makers are jumping on the iPod bandwagon: http://www.apple.com/ipod/carintegration.html
