[QUOTE="MattGiaco, post: 404014, member: 29112"] I was kind of late jumping on the iPod bandwagon. In fact, I got my first iPod on Friday! However, I knew that I wanted to be able to use the iPod in my car as much as I wanted to use it with headphones. The crappy factory head unit in my car had no aux input, so I decided to replace it with [URL="http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Pioneer-In-Dash-Player-DEH-P6900UB/sem/rpsm/oid/175103/catOid/-13642/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do"]one of these.[/URL] It has a USB cable that can be run into one of your vehicles storage compartments during install (I have mine in a compartment above the radio). I simply plug my iPod into the cable (using the standard Apple iPod cable) and viola, I can control the iPod from the head unit. I could also plug any USB mass storage media (upto 250GB according to the manual) and play audio files through the stereo. While I spent $300 that I didn't expect, it is worlds ahead of FM modulators or using the aux in (that I didn't have anyway). The iPod is hidden away and it charges while I listen. [/QUOTE]
