Big ****ing deal. They should have saved themselves the R&D they pissed away on that nugget and focused on overall design instead.

Almost as much as the iPod itself…

They should sell the Zafira here, and do some other things, like add RWD product

sounds like the only ones that would care are actual ipod owners.

DEALER INSTALLED ????? You have to pay the DEALER ???
On your brand new car you just bought ???

Stupid
Stupid
Stupid

GM deserves to die for doing crap like this.

HEY GM, it’s not 1976 anymore !!!!

Whats an iPod?

A year behind even Ford, LOL

I hate that this is iPod only connectivity. Such a marketing buyout scam, oh look, to have an easily accessed mp3 list in your car, you MUST have an iPod!!! BULL****. I don’t have an iPod, but I do have an easily comparable and in my opinion, far better, 30G Creative Zen Vision M. Now many cars have mp3 jacks that simply plug into your headphone slot, which works–yes you guessed it, with every single portable music device!!! But GM here, always the tricky ****s in this business, of course made its jacks iPod only, so as to persuade the buying populace just a LITTLE bit more, as if the influence wasn’t enough there already, to further Apple’s monopoly on the mp3 market! GREAT!!

It’s not iPod only, nimrod, there’s still a 3.5mm aux in in nearly everything GM sells. Get your facts straight. They’re just offering this as an added convienience to iPod owners who want to retain steering wheel controls, etc. So if you’re a geek, you pay $160, if not, you just use the aux in and buy the $10 cable.

Lambo.
Apple rules.
I hate myself for buying a PC
almost as I hate myself for buying a honda

Great responses…

Deanster:
Believe it or not, small things like this can help save a company. You’re just using the tired argument: “Why are they doing _____ when they should be putting all of their money into _____?” The company can’t just magically focus on only one aspect of the business.

mujician:
This is old news. GM has been offering these adapters since early last year. Ford is just getting to it now.

LamborghiniZ:
I’ll never understand why good product throws people over the edge. There’s a universal jack on nearly every radio that GM sells. So, yeah! Those damn scam artists at GM. What the hell were they thinking trying to make product that people want!?

Took too long writing. youngm7 got to it first.

Have to check this out if I get a Cobalt SS =)

Get Real you really need to get real GM is no longer heading that way. you really don’t know your ****. Do you hate GM because your following the same ****ty path your father is taking? Are your parents siblings?

Lambo, same gose for you with the ipod. Two of my kids have the 30gb and the oldest has a 60gb and i have tryed them and they seem really usefull and it is hard to convince me into thinking something is usefull.
I don’t know what makes you so stupid, but it really works!

Hopefully they get full conectivity on the Holden Commodore, it’s just got a 3.5mm connector at the momment.

I’ve got an aftermarket setup with an Alpine headunit and I just leave my ipod connected to it permently (it’s quite old now, old monochrome one 20gb)and it’s good to be able to see track information etc (when you have it on shuffle and have no idea what the hell you’re listening to)

How the **** would I know if all GM cars have a universal mp3 jack?? Why would I EVER be in a GM car long enough to find little tads of “”"information”"” like that?? Good lord I would never own a GM model so thats the kind of bull**** side note info i would never know, however when a story comes out about APPLE **** only, I assume thats what they mean. thats just how it is, but argue with me about it, i know you’ll continue to.

Just about every new car has one ya dum ass, And who even cares if you hate or like Apple, it just meens more good working stuff for us like a GM car. At least you don’t have to repair a GM car ever weekend like you have to with a Lamborghini. Ha and even if i had the money for a ****ing Lambo i sure as hell wouldn’t buy one. I could afford a new Cadillac CTS-V LS6 and have a very nice 1969 Camaro Z28 302 instead. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.

the Ipod connectivity is cool the best way to personalise your car is to be able to carry your music around in your car instead of having to mess around with CD’s, tapes or the crap music on the radio.

Fords Sync will be “factory installed” and will operate much, much more than an Ipod only device. Most of these devices only operate the “next song” feature from the steering wheel control whereas the Microsoft Sync option will voice operate and display all device functions on the factory stereo. This kind of device is what we need in all cars, not a wired, plug in link thats dealer installed…good god.

Does this mean I can watch porn in my headunit while I drive a Cobalt?

Gosh Burmanesski, you’re reference to Lamborghini’s really hit home! It hurts bad! Not to mention how you explaining so eloquently and so full of detail how Lamborghini’s “break down more” than GM’s have turned me away from thrilling, exotic super cars and onto discounted, sub-par quality domestic trash! Also, forgot to point out that you are, yes indeed you are, comparing a small Italian supercar manufacturer (owned by VW I know) to the world’s second largest car manufacturer! THAT’S A SENSIBLE COMPARISON!

And I imagine that most words 3 syllables or more are pretty difficult for you to pronounce.

Getting under Lambo’s skin is like pissing on rice paper. Just a little drop will soak right thru and sting his hyper-sensitive libbie nerves.
.
Time to take a pee. Better get outta my way, Lame-bo.

Idiots, LamborghiniZ is one of the sole voices of reason on this forum.

I agree fully with him, why the **** would anyone know that GM offers a 3.5 mm jack? And the Lamborghini/GM comparison is like comparing caviar to nuggets of goat****.

The best iPod control device remains the Harman KArdon mushroom.

BTW, my old iPod Mini died, and they gave me a credit. I picked up a Sansa e260 (4 gig). Forget it. Can’t make playlists, ****ing confusing interface, ****ty scrollwheel. I tried out the Samsung T9, which is a lot better, but the Nano is better than both combined.

^ iPods are the best for a reason they are the easiest to use and also very intuitive. i had a Sony NW-A300 which was just crap the software was too hard to use and had several problems and battery life was just poor. I upgraded to a samsung YP-K5 which was a cool little thing but the software was very complicated.

“They’re just offering this as an added convienience to iPod owners who want to retain steering wheel controls”

My Saturn Aura has an aux jack and it gives me steering wheel audio controls over EVERY MP3 player I plug into it, not just iPods.

Not like it matters though, it has a 6 disc MP3 CD player which is better than having something plugged into my dash.

Man in so druck right now im having a hard time reading this. i drank to musch Vodka today but i will insult you anyways. My wifes grandfather has a lambo and the stupid thing need s to get fixed every week. i bet you cant peonounce a 1 syllable word in Ukrainian you Fack tard. I Understand that Animal Magic is your favorite show because so many of your relatives are on it. I’m trying to imagine you with a personality.

O **** i just came back to look at what i put down. and holly **** man i can’t drink and write at the same time. My wifes Grandfather HAD a 1985 Lamborghini countach when he was alive. But it was just like every lamborghini breaking down every weekend. I could red line my old camaro all day and it would still want more. The only thing i was comparing was the unreliability MOST exodics have over MOST average cars i just used GM because there in the artical.

LOL!!! ^^ funny, comrade. Maybe the Lamborghini always breaks down because it’s from 1985.

Speaking of drunk, I’m going to get ****faced tonight too. Vashé zdorov’ye !!!!

GOOD
