    Monster's iCruze plays iPod on car stereo



    http://www.macworld.com/news/2004/11/03/icruze/index.php/?lsrc=mcrss-1104

    High-end audio cable company Monster has announced a partnership with audio designer SoundGate to create iCruze, a device that allows you to play your iPod library on your car stereo without transmitting the music over an FM frequency. It connects to an existing CD changer or satellite radio port and enables you to control your iPod with the steering wheel or CD player controls; an optional display lists song title and artist, if the car stereo's head unit doesn't display text. Both companies expect to ship the iCruze later this fall for US$199.95.

    There's no information available on their website; (I saw the press release on another site and checked it out immediately). They do give the impression that on a Mercedes-Benz you can control it from the steering wheel.

    However, while I hope it will be compativle with Porsche's MOST, I doubt it :-(

    The description says it plugs into "an existing CD changer or satellite radio port" which likely is a problem for the '03+ cars (with MOST), because there is no CD changer port--the CD changer is connected to the MOST bus by a fiber optic harness.

    Perhaps it would work if it's connected to the satelite radio port...no...that's right...there's no satelite radio available for 911s...

    Hopefully will work for pre '03 cars without MOST.
