Chrysler to offer iPod integration
The Chrysler Group at the Detroit Auto Show today announced that it will be
the first American automaker to provide full iPod integration as an option in most of its 2006 models, reports Leftlane News. Integration will be available on over three million 2006 Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge models, beginning this spring. The optional iPod Integration Kit for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge model lines will be available to customers for the MSRP of $175 plus installation from authorized dealerships. In addition, the solution can be retrofit to many model year 2005 vehicles. For full coverage of the Detroit car show, stay tuned to Leftlane News Sunday and Monday.

Secondly, if they do want that sticker, um, don't you think Chrysler would be savvy enough to already have that %10 baked into the price already?
I initially assumed that you were just joking, but comments sometimes, I figure better safe than sorry. :)
Now Humor would have been; "Hey, maybe they should get 10% of any Chrysler sold! Oh wait, 10% of nothing is still nothing!" (Ba-da-ba)
Seriously though, I wouldn't have said anything if I hadn't seen people post stuff like that and be serious.
Sounds like Vaporware to me.

Chrysler, like Ford and GM, are playing catchup with the Japs and the Koreans. Just wait until the Chinese flood our car markets. Oh boy.
For the first couple of months I drove the car to work, but as soon as I would get home one of my two daughters would jump in the thing and it would be gone all night. The girls love the ride, comfort and room. One daughter has a friend who is 6'2” who has plenty of leg and head room.
Currently one daughter uses the car as her daily driver. I've replaced the engine in my Continental and am back to using it. When I get to drive the car I enjoy it very much.
I need to trace down the door lock problem. It is at least slightly annoying and can be aggravating on occasion. I will also be installing an after market cruise control in the next few weeks. This is needed because if I just try to hold steady pressure on the throttle the speed fluctuates quite a bit. I will check my speed and then a minute later notice that I'm going 10 miles an hour faster. Also teenage daughters need something that will help to keep their speed in check.
There are four of us in the household, each with our own daily driver. The Cruiser is definitely the favorite, as evidenced by the nearly 20K miles put on the car in one year.
