Acura Adding Pandora

Nowadays, if you’re driving a car with a CD player and an AM/FM radio, you just aren’t living. Even satellite radio, while much improved over those more archaic ways to listen to music, isn’t as customizable as some of the internet streaming radio options other automakers have been rolling out over the course of the last year.

We’ve got to get with the times, folks, and the times want everyone to have Pandora internet radio in their vehicles. Count the Acura RDX and ILX among the vehicles that will now carry the service, bringing the total number of automakers offering Pandora to 23. In Los Angeles, Acura cars will now join the wave of the tomorrow, and that particular wave just so happens to play really good music.

For those unfamiliar, Pandora allows users to create customized stations based on the artists and bands they love most. If you select the Rolling Stones, for example, Pandora will then put together a never-ending mix of songs that include not only the Stones, but also loads of other similar music from the past and present. It works using the genius of the Music Genome Project, which uses the DNA of songs and artists and matches them up with ones built in similar ways.

So when we talk about this being the future of music, we really aren’t kidding. This isn’t a situation where you’ll be sitting in your car, tuned into the local radio station just waiting to hear your favorite song. This way, you can get right to it, and then hear plenty of other stuff you’ll probably like with a fraction of the commercials. That, folks, is living, and if you want to continue living in the future, check out Center Acura on Facebook!
