Phreak + Drive?

Dear Dr.Pepper:

How soon will cars have USB ports?  I've heard for a couple years that it will be happening soon, but the latest I found on it was a few months old.

Thanks, ghostman

10/31/05: Visteon is racing to help car makers fit their models with USB ports. If it can act fast enough it expects to win big. "It's a major but short-term opportunity," said Hans Eric Destree, Visteon commercial director of mobile electronics. "We'll only get an 18- to 20-month window on this before other providers enter the market," he told Automotive News Europe in an interview.

Ghostman,

The exact date for USB ports in cars will be November 18th, 2006 when Ford releases the new Ford OMFG ZT7.  The USB port will allow you to connect any USB peripheral to your car, but most importantly will allow you to buy new ringtones and wallpapers from www.ford.com.

Love
