This review was originally published in the iLounge Holiday Buyers’ Guide 2005-2006. Please download the Buyers’ Guide for additional photographs.
There’s no iPod-to-car integration kit that compares with Drive + Play in scope: the combination of a large, four-line user-tweakable screen, convenient separate control knob, and your choice of line output, FM transmission, or (optional) in-line FM is unparalleled, though the best sound options require a pro installer to hook it all up in your car. Though cheaper add-ons can together achieve similar functionality, this looks and feels far more sophisticated.
A Note From the Editors of iLounge: Though all products and services reviewed by iLounge are "final," many companies now make changes to their offerings after publication of our reviews, which may or may not be reflected above. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.
