But what's going to work best in your ride? Mail order car audio house Crutchfield thinks ithas a better way. The company <ahref="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-GkDNU1DOKKU/mediarelations/digitaldrivethru.html">announced </a>Thursday that it islaunching its <a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/ipodcar ">"digital drive-thru" service</a>, aprogram&nbsp;that matches up your car, your audio system (OEM or aftermarket), and your iPod model, to recommend thebest solution for making them all play together.<br /><br />It appears to be a pretty easy process, and Crutchfield'sdatabase of more than 10,000 cars and car stereo systems means that they're more than likely to have a workablesolution for every situation. An installation graphic shows would-be buyers how to do it (a VW Golf example is shownabove), and Crutchfield's products also comes with an iPod installation guide for you manual-readers out there. (Youknow who you are.)<br /><br />Virginia-based Crutchfield got its started out in the consumer electronics business withcar audio systems, and it remains the company's core business. The digital drive-thru joins Crutchfield's "FindWhat Fits My Car" website tool in the company's customer support arsenal.<br /><br />[Source: Crutchfield]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/31/crutchfield-debuts-digital-drive-thru-for-ipod-owners/">Crutchfield debuts "digital drive-thru" for iPod owners</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 31 Mar 2006 14:02:00 EST.
