However, the Ford Motors have higher plans, to enable the music access from the internet and are using the USB as just a stop gap arrangement until then. Ford Motors has plans to offer a complete music hub on the future cars along with a slot provided for USB and an iPod jock, enabling the user to access the users’ uploaded files on the internet with the help of an on-board computer system through services like Apple’s icloud.
