GM adds line-in jack to their cars via Engadget
…See guys, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
I hope the rest of the automobile industry would follow suit so we can finally phase out those tape-adaptors, FM-transmitters, or spending quite a penny on modifying our audio setup just to accomodate external audio devices (iPods, etc.).
A line-in jack is pretty much standard to all audio devices, and now that I’ve read that bit of news, I’m wondering why people (including myself) never noticed that glaring flaw in automobile audio. You pay premiums to modify your car setup, or buy a BMW with iPOD support when a simple audio line-in could’ve solved that problem… and would not be limited to special audio gadgets such as the iPODs.
