actually, i saw on ipodlounge.com in the ALpine interface thread, someone used the Ipod armor which is an aluminum(?) box that snugly holds/protects the pod. they mounted it using velcro. it looked realllly clean. im going to install it somewhere hidden so if some dick breaks into my car he wont even know i have one and take it. cuz that would suck. I plan to only take it out when i want to load more music. the only time i really listen to music is when im in the car so id like to be able to leave it in there ALL the time but i would if it was stolen; after transferring all that music onto it.

ive seen the Rio, Zen, and Sony but I didnt know if they have a bitchin interface for them like Ipod does. with the Alpine unit you can control your pod with your Alpine HU. I believe Stinger just made an inteface that will let you hook it up on any radio, including stock, and control it with your steering wheel buttons. another company makes this too which i saw on cardomain.

my radio does mp3 and i was thinking about doing that but im just sick of driving around using cds. theyve gotten scratched. many of my cdrs have started flaking apart.they fall out of the visor and I hate to fumble through books while driving. i like to carry A Lot of cds so i can pop anything in when i feel like it. thats why the ipod will be perfect for me.
