Dear Intaweb

Look, I know what I want.

I want the ability to receive DAB stations in my car. I happen to like BBC7 and so on.

I want the ability to play MP3s from a reasonable size storage. (A few gigabytes would be fine) No, I don't want to have to plug an MP3 player in: I'd be happy with the ability to put a USB drive in the glove compartment.

I want to be able to use the existing steering wheel controls to be able to change track or station or whatever.

That's all I think I want. I don't actually need the ability to play a CD. Or a cassette.

So why is it so hard to find the right product?

A year from now all cars will have cable radio.

Wait, what?

Hmm, not a bad idea. If it could pick up media servers, then I could just leave all the music on the server at home and listen to that.

It'd be especially useful for the electric cars if they did TCP/IP over power. That way you'd need only the one cable.

Oh, wait ...
