Mitsubishi i (eye) Play Edition: iPod Embedded





The Japanese are fond of technology in general and the iPod in particular. Ca, we already knew. So passionate that Mitsubishi has released a special edition of its model i (eye) with integrated support for iPod Nano.

A trendy urban car

The Mitsubishi "i" (for taking its "eye") is a city, a mini-MPV Modus sauce, or even smaller. In Japan, even in this kind of vehicle does not hesitate to put a navigation system with 16:9 widescreen touch the center of the dashboard. Behind this screen is motorized plate reading CD (not MP3 compatible), the party tuner and hard drive 30 GB repoduction The music is entrusted to a pair of midrange / tweeter 3.5 cm at the ends of panel and four 16 cm, one in each door. Knowing what are sometimes able automakers, in a small cabin, playback must be dynamic and punchy bass.



Made for iPod

Mitsubishi commercalise this series so special i (eye) Play Edition with dedicated support to the iPod Nano 2 GB (I think it also works with a model 1 or 4 GB). As you may know, this music player is available in white or black. Well so is the "i"! Two body colors available: pearl white or black mica. Inside, down the center console, the site is dedicated to the integration of the iPod Nano. Once it into the holder, the control is done from the touch screen system. Of course, the player is recharged when inserted into the slot.



Fusional

Never a manufacturer had pushed paroxysm this association. Among other automakers, iPod compatibility comes down to a jack in the worst case and a specific plug the iPod in the glove box at best. Fortunately, in the latter case, the control system since the original audio is possible. But to propose only exterior colors identical to the colors of the iPod, there is a step that had not yet been crossed! Only small problem according to Japanese media, it is not possible to copy the contents of the iPod's hard drive audio system. Ah, we can not have everything ...
