30 percent of 2006 vehicles offer iPod integration
Apple on Tuesday said that 15 automakers now offer iPod integration as on option on their 2006 vehicles, according to Leftlane News. That means about 30 percent of new cars can be equipped with special hardware to connect the digital music player directly to the car's stereo and stereo controls. Unlike simple FM transmitters, true iPod integration means there's a physical connection between the car's stereo and the device, resulting in optimal audi quality. Better still, iPod integration means you can use the steering wheel or dash controls to change songs. Apple has yet to update its "iPod your Car" website, but there's still plenty of information for 12 brands.

We were needed to transport our three young children in a safe, reliable vehicle. We wanted something that wouldn't cost a fortune to run and that be backed by a company that actually took customer service seriously.
The Honda CRV parts has been faultless. The longer we have it, the more we like it. We spent the extra money to get the top of the line model with easy to clean leather seats. The wide flat rear seat allows us to fit in three child seats, which was of crucial importance. The height of the vehicle makes getting the children in and out easy. There is enough room in the rear for both our Labradors or a large baby buggy.
Customer service from Honda has been excellent. Lots of phone calls to make sure we are happy. They come out to us to service the car which is very convenient as we live some distance from the dealer.
All in all, it's the perfect vehicle for us and was money well spent.
