I would find out for sure before making the decision - and research it. The time involved in a clean install is the biggest expense. Go with the right equipment even if it costs more - otherwise you will just lower the value of your car.

And bonus you can use it with other mp3 not just your Ipod! nothing quite as fun as driving down the highway with your laptop on the passenger seat going threw every song You've ever had + is you have wireless internet youtube while driving! *Please note I am not liable for your *** wrecking your car while watching **** with the sound cranked threw the car speakers while driving!

I've only had my car for 2 weeks. Right now, the ashtray works pretty well for holding my blackberry (which is my mp3 player, navigator, phone, etc). But it is a pain to keep it charging (and when using the navigator, it has to be plugged in because the screen will drain the battery).

By the way - I'm using a simple jabra 700 (or something) bluetooth to fm modulator (and speaker phone). But as I'm driving down the road (or stopped at a red light) other peoples music overpowers mine. One of these days I'm going to lower the window and ask the other driver what kind of fm modulator they are using!

the tape adapters are ok, i have one too but when you turn the volume on your mp3 too high you can hear buzzing in the speakers. i heard that the fm transmitters or w/e they are called have better sound quality, something like this http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CCQQ8gIwAg#
