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.
