I know that the Tech Zone guys mean well when they say they want to show you how to build the Ultimate Mobile iPod, but I just don't know how many of their readers have the kind of disposable income to drop the $7000 in car audio components to do it ;) Of course, the photos are very cool to look at, so...

"There are many companies that make interface modules to integrate your iPod to your car but without a doubt the Alpine KCA-420i is the best. Alpine can teach AMD a thing or two about doing a "paper launch". The KCA-420i was announced back in January at the 2004 CES but have just now hit the market. My advice to Alpine: If you announce a new product, it's best to ship it within a month or two from the announcement date."
