GM to offer radio option with music-player ports

9/2/2008

DETROIT General Motors Corp. says it will offer optional radios with ports for personal music players on some of its 2009 models.

The new radios will allow customers to play music from iPods or MP3 players while charging many of the devices through a port like the ones found on most computers.

The new radios are available now on the Chevrolet Cobalt and HHR and the Pontiac G5. By the middle of the model year, they will extend to the Pontiac G6 and Solstice, the Saturn Sky and Aura, and the Chevrolet Malibu.
