If you're planning to buy a new car and love playing your iPod or iPhone in the car, you may want to consider a built-in car adapter. Rather than using an FM transmitter or a cassette adapter, some car makers offer built-in plugs for the iPod or iPhone that pipe the music right to the car stereo with great sound and controls built in to the steering wheel or stereo.
Some car makers also support Siri's Eyes Free feature, which lets you activate and interact with Siri from the steering wheel. When using Eyes Free, you can keep your eyes on the road, since your iPhone's screen won't light up, but you'll still be able to call, play music, hear and send texts, get directions, and more.
