Matt - I took a look at that option, but there is way more wiring mods then I'm willing to do as it would entail pulling most of the upholstery plus all of that wire dangling from the steering column ...... I even mounted the cruise handle under the dash. Good idea - thanks

Don - in effect, that's what I'm ending up doing with the IR repeater. For less then $25 I purchased one of those from Evilbay and will give that a try. My JVC stereo already has an input, it's 50 watts X 4 to my Rockford Fosgate and Kenwood speakers. When it's all over, your (Dan's) suggestion is the way I should have gone. I have a Sansa mP3 rather then an iPod and it has FM stereo radio as a part of the controls. If that IR repeater doesn't work, then will probably go that way, using what I have. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for the idea.

Steve, Thanks (tho could you PM a price to me JIC neither the IR or mP3 system work right )
