USB Hits the Highway

USB Hits the Highway
I recall reading about a year ago that car stereolinks manufacturers were behind the times when it came to putting the latest technology into their products - not a lot of support for the newest generation of portable media players, for example. Well, that seems to have changed since then, if this article from the Chicago Tribune is to be believed: the writer has a USB port in his car stereo thanks to JVC, says they're readily available from a number of after-market manufacturers and priced between $100 and $1000. Ford and GM will even be featuring iPod-capable stock car stereos starting in 2007, so you can spend 20 or 30 grand on a glorified docking station. It doesn't speak much for the car's quality (somehow I'm not surprised that it's American car manufacturers that are leading the USB-in-car revolution), but focusing on the USB capabilities alone, the future possibilities are endless: audio, video, wireless access - you could probably turn your car into a mobile gaming rig just by loading the right software onto a flash drive.
