Exhibiting at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit
this week, the auto maker said drivers will be able to select and
listen to their music by artist, album or playlist with either
radio or steering wheel controls. Selections will also appear on
the radio's display screen.
"We're thrilled that over three million Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge
automobiles will offer great iPod connectivity in 2006," said Greg
Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product
Marketing. "Over 40 percent of all cars sold in the US in 2006 will
offer iPod connectivity."
Chrysler joins 16
other auto makers that currently offer iPod integration in
their veichles.
"Customers have been asking for iPod connectivity and we're excited
to make it available to so many of our vehicles in 2006," said
Randy Ewers, director, Mopar Accessories Portfolio Team. "We're
providing the largest number and range of automobiles with iPod
support of any automaker, allowing Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge owners
to bring and listen to their entire music collections."
The optional iPod Integration Kit for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge
model lines will be available to customers for US$175 plus
installation. In addition, the solution can be retrofit to many
model year 2005 vehicles, Chrysler said.
