Dallas – RadioTime, the provider of a guide to Web radio
stations and the streams of terrestrial stations, announced that it has
partnered with BMW on what they companies are calling the first implementation
of in-car Web radio. On BMW’s MINI, the MINI Connected option will use a
USB-connected iPhone to access RadioTime’s streaming channels, which may be changed
via buttons on the steering wheel, and viewed on the in-dash display.

The 1st Car Internet Radio was shown at CES 2009 by Blaupunkt and Miroamer, sounds like Radiotime are not the first???
BMW, the first car manufacturer to offer this capability in a production car. It’s a bit of a kluge — steering-wheel-mounted controls send commands over a USB cable to an iPhone, which then changes the channel on RadioTime’s internet radio service.
Car gadgets this year are going to be amazing. No more boring gps’s.
