Superior iPod and iPhone Connectivity

Enjoy the familiar operational feel of your iPod and iPhone, with album/artist/song/playlist on-screen display and more. The simple control mode enables system operation using just the iPod/iPhone controls, including ABC search.

As an added bonus, iTunes Tagging via the HD Radio makes it easy to purchase the songs you like.
