Alpine Electronics of America Inc. announced Tuesday it is shipping its Interface Adapter for the Apple iPod.

The US$100 KCA-420i enables users using any of Alpineis 2004 Ai-NET in-dash head units to interface with Appleis iPod and iPod mini.

First announced in January, The Alpine Interface Adapter for iPod is a hide-away design and can be installed anywhere in the vehicle. A single cable connects the adapter to the Alpine head unit, while a second cable connects the adapter to the iPod through the iPod dock connector. When the vehicle is on, the Interface Adapter also charges the iPodis internal battery.
