More Vehicles Add Streaming Radio

A growing number of automobile makers are partnering with streaming radio services, and other entertainment apps for upcoming models.
The latest addition is Pandora streaming radio teaming with GM. The offering is expected to debut in the car manufacturer’s Chevrolet Volt and Equinox 2012 models. Users will be able to control Pandora via the car’s factory stereo system.
Pandora has already partnered with Ford, Mini, Mercedes, Toyota, and Hyundai. More here.
The streaming service offers a free version with advertisements, or a paid subscription with no ads. It has about 80 million registered users.
This news follows Pandora’s IPO filing earlier this month.
