Blaupunkt's Car Internet Streamer


"Blaupunkt's miRoamer-powered TravelPilot New Jersey 600i internet car stereo"The prototype head unit connects to a cellphone over Bluetooth to access the internet, and uses the miRoamer service to stream 'tens of thousands' of stations on the service -- which the company estimates will consume about 2GBs of data a month, so you'd better hope your data plan doesn't cap you off or charge you for overages. The radio is expected to arrive in the second half of the year for $399, which isn't bad, but doesn't do much good for the squares like us who never swap out their car stereos -- which is probably why miRoamer is targeting 2010 for placement in OEM head units."
