Wow, I could not agree more with your post. My wife has the nano, it is a great little device. I hate itunes and the propritearty nature of everything that is ipod.

I want to keep my original radio I decided. I like my GPS right where it is.
I think the company is DLO that makes the nice streamlined products. This one is sweet:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8734505&st=ipod&lp=9&type=product&cp=1&id=1201913280723
Now I can't ever complain again about not having money since I'd be buying a toy that is equal in price to what this iPod is that I'll be using 
That's what I'm looking for though, something like this, but not no 8" long.

I use the one from Monster, also available at Best Buy - just a cable, no cradle. I don't like to leave the dock in sight because I believe it invites theft. They know there was an ipod in there and most people take them out and store them in the glove box or center console. The simple Monster version also makes it easier for me to use in rental cars.
In crowded FM markets the transmitters don't work as well - I didn't have good luck with it in San Fran, south Florida and a few other areas.
I agree with you on Apple's arrogance but their products do work well. I now have three ipods - Photo (used in the car and in a dock at work); shuffle (working out); Touch (used at home and when traveling). I've ripped a couple hundred CDs into MP3 format and imported those into iTunes. I like the MP3 format simply because it is so universal and it works in iTunes.
BTW, it may seem crazy to watch a movie on the 3" ipod touch screen, but really, is it worse than watching it on a 7" airplane monitor 8 feet away? The ipod touch is also great with the wifi access, again especially when traveling.

Yup. I used to have that one from Monster. That was a good one. The last one I had was the Belkin one which is also good. I know what you mean about having it stick out and people can see it, but I'll take my chances. I probably won't leave it in the car anyway. I dunno.

I use this one. I like it.

Only has one wire to the cig lighter. Keeps it charged as well. Also It has an auxillery in so if you have something that you want to plug into it such as a dvd player you could do that and listen to it through the stereo.

I bought a digital interface for the Deuce.... plug and play... sound quality is as good or better than XM... http://stores.ebay.com/Integration-Solutions
That guy is SO confident in what he sells you that your instructions comes with his cell phone number in case you have an issue...
I bought the GF a 80gb Classic for Valentine's day.... she loves it...
There are a lot of converters out there... I used to have one that would change AAC... IE.. I by my songs and you buy your songs... BUT we can't share them.... this gixed that issue...

That's a nice one, but I honestly don't feel like screwing around with wiring anymore.
I did some searching and found one that has a special adapter for the Nano.

I'm waiting for it to come back in stock at CC. I I have a DLO docking station for my wife's iPod. Their stuff is top notch and gets good reviews.
