Make Your iPhone the center and Soul of Your Car Stereo [Automobiles]

I get so frustrated after I’m in a new car and there’s no method to plug in my iPod. Get with the times, car manufacturers! Or bring them on top of things yourself with the O’Car, a dedicated iPhone-based head unit.

Oxygen Audio’s O’Car has a RDS radio tuner and a 4x55W amp, but the magic happens if you strap on your iPhone. The rotating mount charges your phone and holds it horizontally or vertically, allowing you to play tunes during the iPod app, Pandora radio or whatever else, put your iPhone to work as a GPS navigator, or make hands-free calls over your car’s speakers. Or play Infinity Blade if you’re in bumper to bumper traffic.

Aside from radio, the O’Car doesn’t do much on its own, so hopefully it won’t be too pricey when it’s officially debuted at CES in January. All I know is that I wouldn’t shed a tear if I had to retire that stack of half decade old CD-Rs which are shoved in my car’s every nook and cranny. [ O'Car via Wired ]
