Admittedly, since I found this on a site called “China Grabber“, this is probably going to be the lowest kind of knockoff goods, but I’m just here to tell you about stuff.

It’s the Wireless Car MP3 Player with FM transmitter, and it’s actually not a terrible idea.

For some of us with older cars that have cassette players, we all know that sometimes you can’t use those cassette adapters to hook in your MP3 or CD or whatever player.  But this bypasses that idea completely by sending your MP3 signal to an empty FM channel on your radio.  It’ll even tell you which by way of a handy dot matrix window on the front.

Sure, it’s not exactly the highest achievement in technology, but hey–for twenty three bucks, if you’re looking for an alternative to radio you may just have it right here.

TomTom, which you may be surprised to know is actually based out of Amsterdam, just recently announced its newest line of navigational hardware, the GO I-90.  It’s a double DIN navigation and radio tool that allows for easy, point to point directions between any two points most anywhere in the world, as long as they’re somehow connected via roadway.

Oh, but this isn’t just another navigational device, either–TomTom brass promises that the device offers  “full radio integration with the car speakers for high quality audio when using spoken instructions, or making hands-free phone calls.”

So not only does it get you from point to point, it also lets you call ahead to tell that point you’re arriving.  That’s actually pretty cool.

As if that weren’t good enough, users will be able to add annotations to the maps via TomTom HOME and Safety Alerts, telling other motorists about accidents, road construction, and those pesky speed traps.  You can also hook your MP3 player to it.

There’s a lot to like about this device, and its ninety nine dollar price tag is just icing on the cake.

It’s not the purple that’s so difficult to cope with but it’s the price of this DiMora Natalia SLS 2 sport luxury sedan concept. And it’s not the V16 that we’re impressed with since it’s too expensive but it’s that MP3 horn tones. Do we absolutely need horn tones? Will we have them changed after every Emmy Awards?

The horn system will come with 256MB of flash memory and a 150-watt speaker ready to put out 110dB sounds. It still costs $2 million.
