Week 3 - Thing 7 "Technology Related"

While there's no shortage of ready-made options for connecting your iPod to your car stereo, if you want a truly integrated look you''ve really got to get your hands dirty and rip into your vehicle's factory parts. If you do, you could end up with a ghastly mess, or you could have something that looks like like JPPadula's new-and-improved GMC Denali tape deck here. While it'll likely never play a Huey Lewis & the News cassette again, it will accept an iPod quite nicely, with a full-functioning ejection mechanism and its innards wired up to the vehicle's Kenwood deck to allow for control over song selection. Of course it does have the slight downside of needing to be completely retrofitted for each new iPod, but who says iPod mods always have to be practical?
