Surely you liked the car enough without the iPod connector to buy it in the first place so why consider a Corsa over something so trivial. |
Tydo,
Absolutely agree with you on this one. If anyone's like me, they would have researched the Civic to hell before buying it. I knew full well that it didn't come with a iPOD link (I've got a Nano). But to be honest, the amount of things I HAVE got, outweigh the things I haven't.
YES, Honda should've thought about it before, but they didn't.
YES, Honda ARE charging way too much to fit it in.
YES, car manufacturers make loads of money on optional extras.
However, there's not a lot we can do about it. There really are two options here:
1) Pay for it (+£300.00)
2) Get an iTRIP. (+£19.99) This is a small unit which plugs in to the iPOD and transmits (radio waves to the cars' aerial) the output of the iPOD.
I've tried my brothers iTRIP and it works a treat in my car.
