I rented a dodge charger about two months back and it had a built in port where I could plug in my ipod. I was usrprised and very exctied. It was very cool and worked great.
So when I turned in my car I had to go back to using the “tape to ipod” soultion. You know the 20 dollar tape you plug into your tape deck and it has a cord you then plug into your ipod. yes I know very low tech. Well my next car will have both Sirus radio built in and an ipod port.
