Harman/Kardon DP1US Drive + Play iPod Control System

The Drive + Play is one of the easiest ways to use and listen to an iPod in the car and no earphones are required. It lets you listen to your iPod over any car stereo with an FM radio or an auxiliary input. More importantly, it has a very large, very visible display that can be mounted conveniently on your dashboard, so you can see what's playing with just a glance.



The Drive + Play consists of three components:

(1) A backlit LCD screen, large enough to present five lines of iPod menu text, yet small enough to be mounted anywhere it can be easily viewed by the driver. The pivoting mount can be attached to the display in any of three positions and provides the user a full range of adjustability.

(2) A five-button navigation control unit with universal mounting options mimics the iPods user interface and can be mounted on the center console or other location
for easy access while driving. The controller features four buttons that control the play/pause, forward, backward and iPod menu functions; a rotating dial around the perimeter that can be used for forward and backward scrolling; and a center button for the enter command.

(3) The brain serves as an information processor and connecting port. The brain houses a wireless FM modulator with five factory-set frequencies and one definable by the user; a 3.5mm audio output jack that connects Drive + Play to any vehicle that has an auxiliary input; and an auxiliary input that allows the user to use Drive + Play to route other audio signals, including satellite radio, into the vehicles audio system.
