Good idea indeed. Pity we only get stripped down versions of cars built overseas sold at the same price in SA. I'm betting that the IPOD capability will be sold here as an "extra" and not as part of the vehicle.
Ford/Mazda still don't sell cars with MP3 capable CD players this country whereas the same models in the UK and Europe were launched with that feature. My question is WHY??? The MP3 capable CD-units even LOOK same (case and point the CD Frontloader in the new VW Polo) yet we don't get them in South Africa.
