The following story caught my eye http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/01/03/autonet/index.php as it describes a forthcoming system for enabling wireless broadband access in your car via a 3G link to the internet. I can imagine a set-up involving the internals of a squeezebox mounted in the dash and streaming music from my home server via SSH. No more making mp3 copies of flacs to transfer to the iPod, just full access to my entire library, playlists, etc at all times.
For me the ultimate in-car system is just a radio head unit with the (free) Rockbox software built in and a USB connector that I can connect arbitrary portable disks to. It's not a huge problem to hook up an external disk to my PC once in a while and sync it with my library.
Oh, and for the SD guys, a simple thin LCD display with some control buttons (play/pause, next, prev, shuffle, up, down, left, right) with a USB connector, line out to an existing radio would be just perfect too. As I said the software is free, so it shouldn't be that hard to make it work.
