Pioneer to ship iPod car stereo adapter in March

Pioneer today introduced a new iPod Adapter for its car stereos. The direct-connect adapter works with the IP-Bus system in more than 3 million Pioneer car stereos, including all of Pioneer's new car stereos, which are being introduced at this week's International CES show. Through Pioneer's IP-Bus system, the CD-IB100 is backwards compatible with more than 3 million Pioneer car stereos. The company says that users will "be able to operate their iPods as easily as they would using the stereo unit, by means of the stereo's front panel controls." Pioneer stereos will display up to eight characters of text including album, artist and song names, with the ability to scroll additional information. While an iPod is docked to the CD-IB100, the adapter will charge the internal battery.
