Where did I read that the SYNC option was $395.00? I could be wrong. But, I forsee all vehicles eventually going to a USB style port. Just like many, many years ago when a tape player became an option, I bet people were like, "No way!! You mean I don't have to worry about 8 tracks anymore!!!" Then, come the CD's....they skipped all the time from every little bump. But, cars were still being made w/ tape players. Finally, I'd venture to say that just about all these cars have a CD player as standard equipment.
IMO, and I say again, IMO, we will eventually see a radio w/ no more CD's...no more tape players...a simple port which accepts a USB drive (something that you can take out and stick in your pocket just like a set of keys). It'll happen...
And, this is just me, but I have no use for an IPOD. I have my home theater. I have my computer on the other side of the house. I have a Dell Axim which holds however many songs on it I want and I can take that with me to the gym if I want (I really don't use it since there's music playing anyway or a tv hanging from the ceiling). But, I really have no use for an IPOD. I'd much rather have my ears open to anything going on around me than having music playing loudly in my ears.
