GoLink iPod Cable - $99
The cost is for the actual cable which is clever piece of equipment indeed. It links your iPod to the car’s computer and, using the app, relays information to the handheld device. You need to have a real ‘play’ on the application, but you will soon get the hang of it. Your engine codes, weird noises and general running issues will soon be soundly diagnosed. The app will probably not be able to fix the issue, but will certainly point you in the right direction. We absolutely love this clever cable and app, and so will you!
