also got a samsung but the nexus. the samsungs connection im pretty sure is solely just for charging, unlike the iphone/ipod where the charging connection can play music thru it also =\ think we have to settle for 3.5mm connection if your going to use the samsung for music.

new fg mk2 with the 8in screen is amazing with the pairing of phones and playing music wirelessly. unfortunately that car is out of the price for some people haha

Try this site for a Ipod holder.

We have these for iphone ( same as ipod) cradle holds and charges and you play through ASL amplified.

The charging connection does everything so many fricken things it gets confusing. It also transmits and receives GPS data if an accessory supports it as well as the accelerometer/gyro stuff. It's not noticeable or an issue until you get an accessory like the TomTom GPS Cradle which sends the phone GPS Data through the 30-pin, takes sound through the 30-pin and connects to Bluetooth for phone calls. That's where the iPod connector really shines.

It's a pity the FG MkII screen is not transferable to older cars.

Never say never to an iPhone MAXout, you've got an iPod so they've sucked you in to the ecosystem now :ph34r:

I don't own an iPod Dude. I am going to buy one only because Microsoft haven't brought out there version of an iPod yet and I'm not too sure about the other Mp3 players that are out there.

Also, due to the CD player not being able to play Mp3 CD's and due to owning a manual, installing an aftermarket CD player would only get in the way, it would seem that an iPod is my best bet.

I don't get sucked into things easily. I highly doubt that if I buy an iPod that I'll get sucked in to buying all Apple products. :P

Ah, in that case, make sure you go for any iPod but the iPod Touch. If you get the other ones they're pretty much just storage units whereas the Touch is like the phone...

I thought Microsoft long ago gave up on MP3 players? In fact, most players in the MP3 player business seem to have succumbed to Apple now. I can remember Creative used to make MP3 players.

I will be buying a Touch, don't worry. I prefer to get updated technology most of the time. :)

I have an aux cable coming out of my premium sound icc and it whines really badly. and they are quiet to begin with so the louder you crank it the louder the whine gets haha. that asl kit looks interesting, do you have to pull half the dash apart to fit it and have it and will it integrate with my icc like my current cable does?
