iPod-Ready Cars

All car manufacturers today are integrating iPod and iPhone functions into their cars. Geekzkrieg takes a look at some of the cars in the market that offer this great feature

It’s a great sales pitch to say that “this car is iPod-ready”. In fact, a lot of car buyers often look for that when making thier purchase. With the rise of wireless connectivity, more and more car companies are taking advantage of the tech and taking music and mp3 to the next level.

Here are 3 cars that stand out

1. 2008 BMW 135i Coupe

The BMW 135i comes with HD radio, Bluetooth integration, USB support and it’s iPod-ready, of course. It also has a DVD navigation system. Being a beamer, you’ll have to shell out some moolah to drive this baby. It’s a great car. But greatness comes at a price, bitch!

2. 2008 Ford Focus

If you’re cheap, then the Ford Focus may be for you. It only costs around USD17,000 but it doesn’t stop there. It’s a technically equipped entry-level vehicle. The bluetooth and hands-free functions are excellent. Plus, the voice activated commands are a big bonus.

3. 2009 Hyundai Sonata V6

The Sonata combines refined design, proven dependability, spirited performance and an extensive list of standard features to increase its appeal to a broader range of customers. For 2009, Sonata raises the bar for value and standard safety technology in the mid-size segment. Hyundai’s sales leader boasts new features ranging from standard USB/iPod auxiliary inputs to available navigation and sport-tuned suspension. Combined with Sonata’s continued leadership in safety - it remains the only mid-size sedan under $20,000 with standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
