Got this new idea. Just thought I'd throw it out there and see what you all think.

Introducing iDash. The revolutionary auto device from Apple. Forget having to connect an iPod via cable to listen to music in your car. All you need is WiFi and iTunes and of course, a car!

When you pull up in your driveway, the songs, albums, podcast etc... you have checked in your iTunes automatically syncs to your iDash, just like MobileMe for an iPhone.

I figure you can have a small add on on your dash like GPS that connects to your radio OR you can have a complete deck replacement kit so you have an actual iDash where your old car deck was.

What do you guys think?
 
I've been hoping Apple would do something like this ( an enhanced MS Sync basically, with Apple style) for a long time. It seems like a great extension of the tech they already have in the iPhone and if I'm not mistaken they have filed some patents for car-related tech.

That being said, I'm not expecting a product to come to market like this from Apple for a while... unless they go the Sync route and partner with a specific manufacturer. An aftermarket kit would be ideal for me, but it's not really Apple's style.
