NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW, DETROIT, Jan. 8
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Chrysler Group today announced that it
will be the first American automaker to provide full iPod integration
as an option in most of its 2006 models, with over three million 2006
Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge models offering seamless iPod(R)
integration beginning this spring. Drivers will be able to listen to
their iPod through the car's audio system, select their music by
artist, album or playlist with radio or steering wheel controls and
view selections on the radio's display.

"Customers have been asking for iPod connectivity and we're excited to
make it available to so many of our vehicles in 2006," said Randy
Ewers, director, Mopar Accessories Portfolio Team. "We're providing
the largest number and range of automobiles with iPod support of any
automaker, allowing Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge owners to bring and
listen to their entire music collections."

"We're thrilled that over three million Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge
automobiles will offer great iPod connectivity in 2006," said Greg
Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing.
"Over 40 percent of all cars sold in the US in 2006 will offer iPod
connectivity."

iPod is the number one digital music player in the world, providing
the best way to listen to music on-the-go, at home and in the car. The
iPod economy continues to flourish with accessories made specifically

carmakers currently offer iPod support. For a complete list of
