Perkins' BWM comes loaded with an iPod that you can manipulate through the steering wheel
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.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Ah -- I have the cassette player dealie too. The coolest is hooking the shuffle up to it when the shuffle's around my neck or in my pocket.
I'm a dork.

I looked into the Belkin cup holder option but I only have two cup holders up front and one is reserved for my ashtray and one is reserved for my latte and that leaves me fresh out of cup holders.

VWs are non-smoking cars. But Charisse is cute.

I love Charisse despite her flaws. Or really, flaw, since I can't think of any beyond the lack of ashtray.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
VWs are non-smoking cars.
How... odd. Do they just assume that all VW owners are non-smokers? Nah, that can't be it. Must be somehow related to the German character, though.
