Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
I have something like that on my Alpine head unit. It also uses the cd
changer connector. I'm using that for my Sirius tuner right now though.
Maybe i'll switch back to the Sirius' RF modulator and use it as an input
for the iPod instead.

Which is easier to carry - an iPod that's smaller than a pack of cigarettes
or several hundred CDs? And even if it should get stolen, I have insurance
and my CDs at home.

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
I agree! I used an Irock! transmitter for awhile with my RCA Lyra
player, but then I got a back input and it's way better. The Jeep is
just too loud for any static to be acceptable.
