However, the iPod's OWN controls (and screen!) are disabled.  IMO, the BMW adapter is a piece of shit.  It can't do one thing that a Neo iOn or Denison ICElink can't, and those can do things that it can't (control via head unit, steering wheel, OR iPod).  Plus they're cheaper.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JK]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volvo officially adds iPod option]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/17/volvo-officially-adds-ipod-option/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/17/volvo-officially-adds-ipod-option/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah...another $500 piece of electronics to breakdown for my Volvo.

I have already had two of my friends get into accidents from scrolling through their ipods while driving.<br><br>Personally, I have no problem with it.
