Twelve-volt car chargers are a dime a dozen, so Monster thought it was a prime space to innovate. The result is the absurdly-named iMotion CarPlay 3000, which allows you to play, pause and skip tracks on your iPod – without touching a thing.
The iMotion is comprised of the usual kit – a torpedo plug to insert into the cigarette socket, a 3.5mm audio jack and Apple's 30-pin connector – but on the back of the power unit is a sensor that detects hand movements. Swipe to the right to skip a track, swipe left to go back and hold your hand up to pause the music, then repeat to keep pumping the jams. Get more details in the press blast below, but beware, this is Monster, so the price of admission is an unreasonably steep $120. For something simpler – and far cheaper – check out the Gesture Music Player for the iPhone and iPod touch.
