Harman Kardon's Drive + Play 2 (DP2) offers easy integration of your iPod with any car stereo. Just connect your music player to the DP2, then use the DP2's wireless controller and full-color display to access your music, while the DP2 pipes the music into your car stereo.
Easy-to-see display looks similar to your iPod's
The display unit features a 3-1/2", high-resolution, full-color screen, so it's easy to select playlists and songs. A light sensor adjusts the brightness automatically, so the display stays legible during the day, but won't be too bright at night.
You can search for songs by artist, folder, or title. Search through your entire music library quickly with the DP2's Alphabet Search feature; use it to jump to any letter of the alphabet, then search within the songs or artists that begin with that letter.
Wireless control knob mounts almost anywhere
The DP2's control knob works similarly to an iPod's click wheel, so it's a cinch to use. Twist the knob to scroll through the menus, and press the buttons to play, pause, fast-forward, or reverse. Since it's wireless, you can mount the control knob in any convenient spot without worrying about having to hide a cable.
Hooking it up — all of the connections go to one place
The cigarette lighter power adapter houses all connections for the display, your iPod, and the output line to your radio, so everything routes to one place. A built-in FM transmitter delivers the audio to your car's stereo system if your radio doesn't have an auxiliary input. If you prefer a more permanent setup, you can hardwire the power connections and hide the Media Hub behind the dash or in the console. To help make hardwiring easier, the cigarette lighter plug snaps off to reveal a connection for an included wiring harness.
Music by genre
The DP2 keeps track of the songs you listen to and organizes the music by genre, creating its own playlists called "channels." You can further customize the channel content by telling the DP2 to include more or less of particular genres of music.
