seamless integration of iPod and Auto

i wonder when we can add a BMW as an upgrade with an iPod purchase at the Apple store.
- Gilt0010
uh, that's Bimmer.
Beemer if you're on two wheels.
Sorry for being annoying.

so why didnt they make some sort of holder for it? "hook your ipod in and let it knock around in the glove box"

what will happen next?

i heard that the new taco bell burrito can now be seemlessly intergrated into your refrigerator.
Who cares? damn just turn the little spinning wheel thing. who the fuck is apple's target market on this one? sorry, i guess some have a beamer...i do not. pitty though : /

they'll just build an iPod right into the car. It'll connect thru 802.11 to your existing wireless network and sync itself with iTunes when you pull into your garage or driveway.

ipods look so nice, why the hell did they put the wire in the glovebox? so you get into the DRIVERS seat and you have to reach over to the glovebox in the PASSENGERS seat and plug in your ipod?!? blipn stupid if you ask me. why couldn't they incorporate it for easy access?
beamers suck anyways.
Q: What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW.
A: A porcupine has it's pricks on the outside.

this guy seems to think the sw111 is a pretty nice car :)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/w…sw111...hahahahaha (actually, i don't know shit about beamers and a co-worker had to point out to me that the guy actually had the keychain upside down...it was actually the M5 logo) jokes on me sort of
- Gilt0010
Man, you guys are payin attention to the wrong Bimmer drivers. If you ask a BMW driver which model E30 ran an S14 engine, I guarantee you that guy will NOT be a dick. (S)He'll know sh*t about his car. Screw the white collar that leases it cuz it's in his price range.

I'll stand by my porcupine/BMW statement.
- Gilt0010
HOLY CRAP!!! That's the M5 Logo, not SW111.
Laugh freakin' out loud!!!

ok for the haters.
First, it's in the glove box because you don't have to fuck with it. The iPod is controlled by the audio panel built in the car.
Secondly, it's in the glove box to remain out of the site of theives.
It's dope, you know it so get over it.

this should be in every motorized vehicle

not too ideal:
Their CD players STILL can read CD-TEXT or MP3s.
Specifically, the problems with the new adapter are:
1) It doesn't work with most BMW head units since nearly everyone has an upgraded stereo and/or NAV and/or a CD changer and/or Sat radio. The adapter only works with the entry level unit. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
2) The unit fits in the glove box. The Z4 Roadster has no locking glovebox. Not really all the convenient.
3) The read out on the head unit is "Tr 01," "Tr 02," etc, and not the track title with band info that the iPod gives out. The BMW head units can't handle this kind of info.
----I am a fan of Apple and the ipod but this is a dumb marketing ploy- the Volkswagon holder made more sense.

big deal ive had my ipod running thru my car headunit for ages
have a much nicer holder on my dash for it also, rather than glove box
