They have these cool things that they'll install in the factories in most cars these days. I think they call them CD players.
Ah, I was pointing out the virtues of adding the Mac Mini to your car over just an iPod, and giving examples of what it had over the iPod, not comparing it to the radio/CD player. I was merely pointing out that it had the possibilities.
The CD could have MP3s on it, too. Very few car CD players can play MP3 discs.
I would also point out that I am offering these as an opinion as to why the people who intend to install a Mac Mini might want to do so, not why I would want to do so.
Mostly because my car cost 1/2 that of the mac Mini ten years ago, and because I'm broke and in no way situated to purchase or even consider such high-falutin devices...
Ironically, I have a car stereo with a cd player, and no car.
That's OK, milady.

"I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates, and you've got a brand new key."

Heh.
I'm disappointed that my '73 Mercury does not have 8-track. Because then I could use an 8-track to cassette adaptor, and then put a cassette adapter in that to connect to my iPod.

My Focus does (with an aftermarket CD/MP3 player). No way to hook an iPod to that, though. I want everything to be able to connect to my iPod.
Perkins' BWM comes loaded with an iPod that you can manipulate through the steering wheel. Sweeeeeet.
I think they come loaded with the hookup, not with the iPod. I seem to recall her taking it in to have them conjoined.
I was so crushed when somebody explained to me that that song wasn't
about
rollerskates.

You would think that VW would have been all over that sooner. And, yet, no shiny iPod hookup in Charisse. I had to buy a Monster cable.

VW's aligned with another MP3 player (Phat Noise, IIRC), sadly.
Did you do your own installation?
See, I don't even consider Phat Noise an MP3 player. It's like a giant Zip drive that costs $800 (not including installation) and I can't strap to my arm when I'm doing housework.

I went with a super low tech option. I bought the monster cable that works through the casette player (which I've never actually used until now). I plug the cable into my mini iPod and then clip it to my seatbelt.
