Monster has announced that its iCruze direct-connect iPod car audio solution is now shipping and is available from multiple nationwide retailers such as Best Buy, Comp USA, Good Guys, Ultimate Electronics, and Tweeter.
Monster iCruze enables the connection of an iPod directly to a factory-installed or Alpine M-Bus car stereo through the CD changer port.
It can access different playlists and songs through existing controls and also charges the iPod while driving. The main iCruze unit costs $249.95 and the optional display sells for $99.95.
“Additional interface connecting cables that match specific car models may also be required, which range in price from $30 to $160 depending on the complexity of the OEM stereo,” notes Monster.
