BMW revs up the sound systems of its cars with a new high-tech gadget — technology contributor Xeni Jardin talks with NPR’s Noah Adams about a special BMW convertible that comes equipped with an Apple iPod, and talks about the future of music technology behind the wheel.
RealPlayer or Windows Media Player required (yuck) to play the 5:09 minute file which can be found here.

Bluegrass !
cool now all I need is an BMW
So why do they have an iPod audio stream and then require RealPlayer or WMP to play it?????
I guess they just don’t “Get It”. Maybe a chat with Steve will enlighten them.
NPR used to offer their news streams in Quicktime also. But in the last 1/2 year or so (I don’t remember when exactly) they dropped QT support altogether. I’m not a rampant conspiracy theorist or anything, BUT right around the time they dropped QT from their site Microsoft became a major national sponsor of NPR. . .
The alpine solution is much better. It’s only about 230 bucks total and has more features than this.
Funny, that song sound better on my iPod through my earbuds. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”tongue laugh” style=”border:0;” />
Neat idea, but better integration needed. Who wants their iPod bouncing around inside their glove box when taking their “ultimate driving machine” for an enthusiastic spin. Where’s the integrated dock in the center console or dash (or even overhead)? I think the ice>Link from Dension is better solution.
ABQ Peter: you need the RealPlayer or the WMP to view the file, not in order to play music from the BMW iPod…
Damn, it won’t work with my ’01 330xi, though I can’t tell what differences there are between the stereos in the ’01 and ’02 3-series models
