GTA Carkit seems to have started with an iphone, ipod, ipad attachement,
and they sell a handsfree attachement for that, but they also sell the
bluetooth, Aux, handsfree, which as it turns out doesn't including the
ipod cable.

I actually bougght an ipod touch on ebay to use with the carkit, but the
seller wrote me that he tested it one more time and it didn't hold a
charge, so he volunteered to cancel the sale. A good thing since the
kit I bought had no ipod connector.

Everyone seems happy with these things. It's surprising they didn't
publicize them more, and selll more.

My prvious car had a built in CD changer, which eventually broke, but it
didn't have satellite ability and it woudln't have had the jack I need
for these accessories.

I actually dont' make many phone calls and I get fewer, and fewer yet
when I'm in the car. And I'm usually happy the the local broadcast
stations. I want this thing mostly because it's cool. (And when I was
in Europe there was no talk radio in English (Talk radio in Greek was
all Greek to me), so I used the cellphone most of the time to listen to
NPR etc. If you get the WYPR app, it has On Demand, and in that it
has just about every NPR program, about 55 of them, including Cartalk
and Science Friday, going back 3 to 10 episodes depending on which
program you choose. It's weird to be driving around Greece listening to
American radio and not on the Armed Forces Network.
