SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: UNUSUAL THINKING MARKS AN IPOD-CENTRIC TRUCK

摘要

When the guys at Scosche decided to showcase their newest Bluetooth gear in a demo vehicle, they wanted to do something innovative with the product, With Nissan chipping in a brand-new 2006 Frontier, they came up with something we almost never see-an audio/video system without a head unit! The innovative use of Scosche's Bluetooth IPBCK interface for iPod makes it possible, constituting the "trick" part of the install. At the 2005 SEMA Show, the IPBCK interface received several new product innovation awards, including Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award and the GM Design Award for Best New Accessory, We included it in our review of Bluetooth products in the January 2006 issue. If you recall, the unit consists of a receiver, the transmitter and holsters for whatever model of iPod you may have. While you would normally plug the receiver into the aux in of your head unit, Scosche cut out the middleman and plugged the IPBCK directly into their EFX amplifiers!
