Did Al & Eds Autosound in West Hollywood,Ca inspire Ferrari to use an iPod as the radio in the new Scuderia 16M just like we did two years ago in the F50?
We will never know the answer to that but it seems possible. This weekend I was visiting a Ferrari dealership and noticed something that nobody knew anything about nor did we know was coming! If you choose an iPod interface as an option for your new Ferrari F430 Scuderia 16M there is no radio. Instead it comes with an iPod that has the “Prancing Horse” preloaded to your iPod Touch screen saver and additional Ferrari exhaust notes.
The iPod Touch clips into a specific holder exactly where the radio would go. Obviously there is no am/fm or satellite radio option but you do have a very cool iPod integration. The volume is controlled but a separately mounted + and – volume switch mounted in the center console.
Al & Eds Autosound in West Hollywood did this exact type of integration into a Ferrari F50 two years ago! Very cool Ferrari but why didn’t you make it work with an iPhone? The built in GPS of an iPhone would give Ferrari users so much more.
