Got them too - but in between, need some CCR, Charlie, Willie and even Beach Boys.......... (tho not much of the new stuff)

dave, i buy from crutchfield. they have a retail store and sell refurbished units. all new just had some kind of damage , scratches or what not. for my shop dog the kenwood receiver was 79.00 normal price was almost 300. i buy quality speakers without grilles. those neat little plastic grilles set you back 40 bucks

Shine - you got me doing some more digging and searching (my JVC did originally come from Crutchfield) and I came up with a much lower priced way to keep my existing stereo. They don't carry this particular gadget, but at ~$25 plus postage, a lot cheaper then the ~$300 for the other alternative. It's called an IR repeater for the existing remote. Regardless, more wires under the carpet

(Several on Ebay as well)

just a thought but how about getting a stereo that can use steering wheel mounted controls, and putting the buttons somewhere easy to reach/ radio in the trunk?

IC2, I tried to catch Dan the last couple of nights but he has been working late. I just called him and he says essentially you need the IPOD, an IPOD audio cable, an amplifier, some speakers, and a volume control. He said any competent stereo shop can fix you up with all the parts you need and the only thing you see at your dash is the small volume control knob.

I'll try to pin him down this week and get more specifics, but he was running when I called him.
