IPod controls on the new BMW.
Have you guys seen the new comercial for the BMW stereo that has built in controls for the IPOD. What a smart move by BMW to give their customers such a great option. I wish Honda would step up for their customers like that ... could have made their 6 cd changer play MP3's! Why are the car makers so slow when it comes to stereo's? Anyone hear any new news about blitzsafe's IPOD adaptor?

If and when Blitzsafe comes out with an IPOD thing, I will change over to an IPOD. I listen to my MP3 player all the time. If I could control it via my stereo controls, it would be worth the money.

I have a CreativeLabs Zen with a remote. The unit sits in the top shelf of my center console, the remote sits on the center console between the shift boot and the cup holders.

EDIT: I looked up about the ultimate adaptor they making, it probably be really expensive.

I think the BMW unit comes from Apple!
I'm waiting on the adaptor from Blitzsafe that actually allows you to control your ipod from your stereo controls. I know I can spend $100 and use my existing setup and get better sound ... I just don't want to spend the money now if Blitzsafe is releasing this within the next few months.
