Mobile phone gadget maker Parrot Tuesday introduced one of the few in-dash car stereos meant for iPhone users. The RKi8400 ($400 in the U.S.) was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
“All iPhone functions — music, navigation of the music directory and playlists and Bluetooth phone capabilities — have been adapted for in-car use,” said Henri Seydoux, Parrot founder and CEO.
The 200-watt unit includes a 2.4-inch LCD screen, allowing iPhone owners to browse tunes by album cover. Hands-free calling works in conjunction with Bluetooth. Most iPods are supported, as well as USB connections and SD cards.
Previous iPhone car stereos used special mounting devices.
