Greg Arroyo: You got it right.

David Lawrence: I got it right, alright. So when people go to do aftermarket audio on their car there is often a pigtail that connects the audio with all the rest of the systems in the car. And now there is a new part of that pigtail that almost anybody who is here on the floor doing mobile audio has to be aware of and that*s a pigtail to grab both the audio and the datastream from the iPod. Would you agree that the iPod is in the process of revolutionizing Mobile Audio?

Greg Arroyo: Definitely it's definitely that*s one addition to Mobile Audio. What we are seeing is that people want everything with them all the time so.

David Lawrence: And they want to centralize right they want one gadget to carry around?

Greg Arroyo: Absolutely so you put your headphones on have in your pocket and jog down the street, get in your car. I love to wear headphones, plug it into an iPod solution on your way so that*s why, sure go ahead.

David Lawrence: No I want to talk to you about your particular solutions but this pigtail we hear about this all the time. It's actually connector that sort of gathers all of the wires together in one bunch, breaks them out at both the headend and then throughout the rest of the car. It used to be you will have to run wires individually all throughout the vehicle but now you get these pigtails, do the aftermarket, is there a market for those particular cables or do you guys recommend that stuff yourself?

Greg Arroyo: There are two ways to do it specifically for the iPod. A lot of manufactures have developed solutions that will allow you to connect the audio into an OE solution like the factory radio.

David Lawrence: Right.

Greg Arroyo: The limitation of those is that you still have to operate the iPod. You just basically get volume and tone controls of the radio. What the aftermarket companies are doing and what currently is really stepped up to the plate with is total control over the iPod. Plug it in, throw it in the glove box and now iPod is part of your radio.

David Lawrence: Alright hang on one second we will take a break we will come break and look at the exact the VRX755VD about that.
