San Francisco, Aug 3, 2006 Mazda, General Motors and Ford Motor Company have teamed up with Apple Computer to build iPod-friendly cars and trucks, the maker of the world's top-selling MP3 players said on Thursday. All 2007 model year vehicles offered worldwide by Ford subsidiary Mazda Motors Corp. will allow passengers to easily connect iPods to the radios, Apple said in a release. Similar iPod compatibility will feature in the majority of 2007-model Ford and General Motors cars and trucks for sale in the United States by the end of this year, according to Apple. "Were delighted," said Greg Joswiak, Apples vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. "Now more than 70 percent of 2007-model US automobiles will offer iPod integration, with General Motors alone making it available on all 56 of its models, representing millions of cars and trucks." Glove compartments have been modified to allow iPods to be plugged into vehicles' audio systems, the companies said. Car or truck radio controls were also adapted to pick and play songs from iPods, which will have their batteries charged while driving, according to Apple.
