Car Makers Will Add iPod Integration
Apple Computer Inc. announced Wednesday that it is collaborating with a number of new car companies to enable iPod integration, some of which will also incorporate voice control capabilities for drivers.
Apple says that it will work with Acura, Audi, Honda and Volkswagen to link iPods to sound systems in their newest vehicle models. This brings the total number of car companies worldwide that provide iPod support to 15, according to a recent press release .
Honda and Acura plan to support iPod integration with synthesized audio voice feedback via a recently-released Music Link adaptor. The new adaptor will connect the iPod to existing audio systems in a number of vehicle models, according to a press release from American Honda Motor Co.
A text-to-speech feedback function will read out information about individual tracks or audio controls, compensating for the fact that there is no actual text on the audio screen, Honda spokesperson Jessica Fini told Ziff Davis Internet News.
