How To Listen To Your iPod In Your Vehicle
On-Road or Off... Here's What You Need To Know

From , former About.com Guide

Dec 17 2006
Did you know that there are 12 times as many 2006 model vehicles with MP3 capability as there were in 2003?

Did you know that there are currently 598 new vehicles featuring MP3 player capabilities on the market?

That's all well & good if you happen to own a newer model vehicle, but what about those of us who don't? It's all but impossible to "retrofit" most vehicles to play iPods over the car's speakers.

In a recent Autobytel online survey, 81% of respondents said they, or someone in their family, owns an iPod, yet only one-third of these iPod users said they've been able to use it successfully in their vehicle.
