"iPod your BMW"

That "iPodYourBMW.com" ad on the top of the page is funny...

An Apple product in a BMW is only funny if you have a Bimmer that's equipped with iDrive, because I think the OS for the iDrive system is Microsoft Windows...

Hmm... I'd better disable norton to find that ad.

I've been refreshing for 5 minutes now and I haven't found it

Could you maybe give a direct link to that banner before I break my F5 button?

Not the ad but close here. And for all of us who don’t have the funds or inclination to spend $25k - $80k for a new mobile case for your iPod but already have an automobile look here.

Wow...that's so seemless it almost looks worth getting in the driver's seat, reaching across to open the glove box, fumbling with the iPod and connecting cable with one hand, then when you're successful, turning it on and finding your song, then closing the glove box.

One good solution, spend $10-20 for a decent Sony or other brand tape deck adapter, and turning the volume of your device to 1% and pumping the volume of you're car's stereo.

The quality is pretty good so long as the device's volume is way down low, and in turn you can pump your stereo way up to get really really loud sound.

Actually that’s what I am doing now, at least until I get the time to build an adapter to plug my iPod into my Jetta’s CD changer connection.

It's a decent temp solution.

And on a stock stereo you cant much tell the difference anyway, so it doenst really matter. I was gonna try to get an adapter for my stereo, but it would cost +$80 USD.

I just use an aux input connector on my Blaupunkt headunit to play mp3s from my iRiver player, same can be done using iPod.

using aux-out and skiping a volume circitry on anything ups sound quality BIG time.
