September 17, 2005 ../ Volkswagen USB Music ConnectionVolkswagen AG announced a USB music option on the Golf, Golf Plus and Touran models beginning in December of 2005. The 195 Euro/$240 US Dollar option will allow drivers to plug in a USB storage device directly into the car's sound system for immediate playback. However, the USB Music option replaces the Six CD system instead of augmenting it.After the Golf, Golf Plus and Touran cars, the option will be available on all Volkswagen models sometime in 2006. Simply plug in a USB device and the contents will appear on Volkswagen's display just like a CD. Full support for ID3 tags, search and current organizational schemes are supported. Volkswagen is the first automaker to offer a ubiquitous USB connection as an option in its models. Volkswagen also announced a special iPod option that will include a 30pin connection in the armrest. Just mount an iPod in the supplied cradle and the car's display will not only reveal the contents, but also allow you to control the iPod as well. Only BMW offers a similar iPod connection. The options made their official debut at the September International Motor Show in Frankfurt. The Future: The Germans have been blazing the digital audio trail and it won't be long for GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler and others to follow. In the meantime, it's a shame that more manufacturers don't simply offer a Aux Minijack Audio Input with their current stereo packages.
