Chrysler will be unveiling their next generation in-car entertainment starting with the 2007 Sebring sedan: MyGIG. TechnoRide got a up close look at the technology in NYC and have a very detailed writeup on it. Essentially, the system is based on an embedded MyGiG 20Gb HD. Features include SIRIUS Satellite Radio with Real-Time Traffic, AM/FM radio, CD/DVD player, a 20Gb HD, a USB jack, line-in jack, two audio outputs, Bluetooth hands-free calling and a 6.5-inch touchscreen with voice control. The MyGIG 20Gb harddrive holds the navigation software (removing the need for a dedicated DVD drive like most nav systems). Other features include the ability to rip CDs onto the HD directly in the car, plus the USB port lets you transfer music and pictures onto the unit. They could have sported for a little more than a paltry 20-gigger, but hey, it's one step closer to the "connected car" concept becoming reality.

The embedded SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a single chip in the radio, instead of a separate module, with real-time traffic reporting and the ability to route you around a traffic tie-up.TechnoRide notes that the MyGiG 20GB HD will also initially be offered in the Dodge Nitro and Jeep Wrangler, before being spread across the model lineup of each brand.[TechnoRide via Autoblog]
