iPhone 5 threatens car compatibility
Word on the Street is the iPhone 5 will change its doc connector. Up until now all iPhones used a 30 pin device connector, now reports are emerging that Apple has replaced the 30 pin connector with a 19 pin connector.
Today CNet.com reviewed the changes and how they might impact integration with your vehicle! The complete article can be read here. CNet reviews iPhone 5 connector
Many vehicles today utilize the standard USB interface for iPhone integration, however Cars from Kia, Hyundai, Audi, and Volkswagen use an iPhone cable specific to the car. Those automakers will need to offer an adapter cable with the 19-pin connector, which car owners will need to buy if they want to patch the new iPhone to the car. BMW also used a cable similar to Hyundai’s and Kia’s in its cars from a few years ago. These will also need the new adapter cable.
In the end, it may simply be one more adapter required to connect the two things that make travel most enjoyable, your car or truck and the music you love.

This fun to drive car is sure to impress!
Here is a quick excerpt from the article.
The 2013 Honda Fit EV, has received a combined adjusted Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mile-per-gallon-equivalency rating of 118 MPGe, and an unprecedented low consumption rating of just 29 kilowatt hours (kWh) per 100 miles. With an EPA rated annual fuel cost of only $500 , the fun-to-drive 2013 Honda Fit EV can help consumers get more miles for each charging dollar. Full EPA MPGe ratings1 for the Fit EV are 132/105/118 city/highway/combined.
With such an efficient drivetrain, the Fit EV’s 20-kWh lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery provides the capacity to earn an EPA combined city/highway estimated driving range rating of 82-miles, allowing the Fit EV to surpass the EPA efficiency and range ratings of the Ford Focus Electric (105 MPGe, 76-mile range), Nissan Leaf (99 MPGe, 73-mile range), and Mitsubishi i-MiEV (112 MPGe, 62-mile range). The Fit EV’s exceptionally efficient design – encompassing everything from savvy powertrain design, weight-conscious engineering and effective aerodynamics – makes the most of the Fit EV’s smaller battery. Additionally, the Fit EV battery can be recharged in less than 3 hours from a low charge indicator illumination point when connected to a 240-volt circuit.
