Livio Radio makes an the Car Internet Radio app for iPhone and Android that offers 45,000 audio streams. Dice develops audio integration kits. "The Dice Duo is a black box that installs behind your vehicle's dashboard. On one end is a connection that is wired to your car's stereo. On the other is a 30-pin iPhone/iPod dock connector. The Duo works by pretending to be a satellite radio tuner and taking over your car's satellite radio input. However, instead of getting its data from miles above the earth's surface, it's pulling audio data from a connected iPhone," according to cnet.com.

Cnet.com has put together a demonstration video.

A scaled down version of the Livio app is free. $4.99 gets you all 45,000 station streams but the version that works with Dice is $19.99. The Dice hardware is $189.00.
