    Aren't Opel advertising that the new Corsa has a connection? Looks like it's just a headphone jack though.
    Still, who really gives a crap. That's what FM transmitters are for! And not everyone has an iPod! There are many brands of MP3 players out there without being limited to that sh!tty iTunes.

    opel obviously believe that the average punter is an absolute moron who will buy a car on the basis of it having a 10 cent 3.5mm jack plug or whtever. the saddest thing is they are probably right

    Going by this thread they would appear to be.

    I made my car mp3 ready the other day by buying a line-out dock for my sony player, a dashboard holder and a casette adapter....total cost: €18.

    You were fairly vague with your question, which basically seemed you were looking for a car, with no other concern than an ipod cable. What did you expect?

    ...Its not the most important car issue ...

    Slightly off topic, I have one of these Griffin RoadTrip http://www.iworld.co.uk/iWorldSite/product/all_iPods_FM%20Transmitters/GR_6195RDTRPB/Griffin_RoadTrip_2007_iPod_FM_Transmitter.htm
    in a car with an external aerial at the back and there is interference 'in small towns and built up areas,

    I use the older version of this Kensington http://www.iworld.co.uk/iWorldSite/product/all_iPods_FM%20Transmitters/KE_33424EU/Kensington_Liquid_FM_Transmitters.htm in an estate with the aerial integrated in the side window and there has never been a problem anywhere in Ireland.

    I've heard of i-trips, but not iworlds. Sure it's a similar thing. In my last car i had a €70, radio that had an ipod connection. You could leave the ipod there and never touch it, it would always come on straight away etc. etc.

    My current €200 euro radio, when the ipod dies, if often won't charge it up again, and takes a bit of hassle plugging it in and out tryin to get a bit of a charge to turn it on. It's a pity really when you go out to your car for a long journey etc. and it says no ipod. Charges up and works after a while buy itself though.
