Alpine's KCA-420i iPod Interface Available in September

Alpine's KCA-420i iPod Interface
Available in September
07/12/2004 12:38 PM

system_xpans.jpg imageAlpine has finally given a mostly-firm date for its new in-car iPod interface, the KCA-420i, updating their website to show a "late September" availability. The connector is one of the most promising iPod car adapters out there, connecting to any of Alpine's head units that support its Ai-Net standard (which unfortunately explains the relatively cheap $100 price). The KCA-420i also supports Alpine's MediaXpander technology that attempts to add back in the harmonics lost in MP3 compression on the fly, making your so-so sounding compressed audio sound much closer to its CD-quality source (and although I haven't personally heard MediaXpander, I've actually heard nothing but good things about it).

More betterness, and links, after the jump.

Aux-Pod iPod Semi-Pro Interface Kit


Aux-Pod iPod Semi-Pro Interface Kit 07/15/2004 08:59 AM

auxpod.jpg imageIt looks like it's more for hardcore car audio types than your standard, all-purpose gadget tweaker, but the Aux-Pod looks like it might be the in-car iPod interface of choice for those doing a custom rig-up. Although it appears to be mostly just a cable, wiring harness, and interface black box (read: no cradle or holder for the iPod itself), the Aux-Pod kit does allow a full integration of the iPod's controls into your cars built-in switches, so you can change tracks (and maybe more) using the toggles on your steering wheel or head unit. It will even charge the iPod when it's plugged in (unplugged, strangely, it does not charge). (Thanks, Michael!)

alpine_in_dash.jpg imageMacCentral has more details about Alpine's upcoming in-car iPod interface, including the single-greatest quote ever to slip past the lips of a VP of Marketing, "Consumers love a knob more than anything." I've been saying that for years.

The Alpine unit looks nice, though. I think the best thing is that it's part of a whole system, so that any Ai-Net-equipped head unit can interface with the iPod, including using the aforementioned knob to scroll through like you would with the iPod's built-in wheel. Better than iPod Your BMW, that's for sure.

Many iPod users have seen "iPod Your BMW" television ads, which advertise the ability to connect your iPod or iPod mini to the stereo included with several late-model BMW vehicles. That's not the only way to directly connect an iPod to a car stereo, however, and one of the most hotly anticipated solutions is coming this September from aftermarket car audio manufacturer Alpine, the same company that designed and manufactured BMW's solution. The KCA-420i is a new interface box designed to work with Alpine car stereos that include "Ai-Net" command capabilities, and the solution actually offers more functionality than BMW's offering, including the ability to view artist, album and track information.

The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

The September Project
http://www.theseptemberproje ct.org

On September 11, 2004, citizens across the U.S. will come together at their local libraries to discuss ideas that matter to all of us. Through talks, debates, roundtables, and performances, citizens will share ideas about democracy, citizenship, and patriotism. What better way to spend September 11th, recently designated "Patriot Day," than by participating collectively, thinking creatively, and becoming a part of the well-informed voice of the American citizenry? Public libraries provide all citizens open and free access to information. Almost all communities in the U.S. have at least one library. There are over 16,000 public libraries in the U.S., and that's not including university libraries, K-12 libraries, research libraries, and church libraries. In other words, libraries constitute an impressive national infrastructure. Moreover, 96% of public libraries have computer technology that can serve to connect events across the nation, thereby constituting a national and distributed media infrastructure. In this way, the September Project will foster a national conversation with, for, and by the people.
