Better MP3 headbanging for your hotrod

Tired of using those cassette deck interfaces to connect your MP3 player to your car stereo so you can crank the tuneage while cruisin’ around town? (I still haven’t found a decent wireless transmitter.)

Sony’s new car stereo should solve at least some of that problem - and not just by playing MP3s from CDs (though it’ll do that, too). The Sony CDX-GT610U and Sony CDX-GT616U Car CD Players/Tuners will include a front panel USB port, allowing for plug-and-play goodness from any digital audio player. For an extra bonus, use it with a Sony Walkman and you can control the player from the tuner or from a tiny remote (which is really only good for back-seat drivers) while simultaneously charging the player. It’ll also display the artist data, and besides MP3s, play WMA, AAC or ATRAC files as well. Set for release in January 2007, the Sony site says it is only available in Canada, so get your international calculator ready.
