iPod 'Drive + Play' Car Audio Solution From Harman Kardon

The Harman Kardon Drive + Play is an integrated iPod docking system specifically designed for automotive use. Drive + Play features complete iPod control with full browsing capability.





The Harman Kardon Drive + Play iPod system includes such components as a backlit LCD screen featuring five lines of iPod menu text; a five-button navigation control unit which mimics the iPod's user interface with its four buttons that control the play/pause, forward, backward and iPod menu functions; a rotating dial around the perimeter; and a center button for the "enter" command; "the brain" that serves as an information processor and connecting port.

The brain houses a wireless FM modulator with five factory-set frequencies and one definable by the user; a 3.5mm audio output jack that connects Drive + Play to any vehicle that has an auxiliary input; and an auxiliary input that allows the user to use Drive + Play to route other audio signals, including satellite radio, into the vehicle's audio system.

Drive + Play also charges the iPod when docked, displays customized user menus such as playlists and user preferences, and shuts itself off when not in use.
