New Potato Technologies has unveiled its new TuneLink Auto for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. TuneLink Auto is an in-car accessory featuring a traditional charging stem with a fast-charging USB port and an auxiliary output for connection to a vehicle’s AUX port. Notably, the TuneLink Auto also features a Bluetooth transceiver and built-in FM transmitter, allowing it to receive streaming auto from any A2DP-capable iOS device, and send the audio to the vehicle’s stereo via direct AUX connection or over FM. The TuneLink Auto hardware is controlled via a free app, and the device also supports automatic switching of incoming calls to an existing hands-free Bluetooth accessory, switching back to audio playback when the call is ended. New Potato’s TuneLink Auto for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch is available now and sells for $100.

I definitely want one of these… lots of features that are lacking in other products. But $35 to ship to Canada? That’s obscene….

But the Kensington AssistOne does all of this and more for less money. I’m looking around for accessories and now that I’ve confirmed I can keep my iPhone in the IvySkin Quattro 4 case and put it into the Kensington AssistOne it’s a no-brainer for me that this is the car-kit of choice.
