looks like it might be a good thing for those who want to keep the "stock look" but run ipod OR is there a better option??

I read a while back there is a kit that uses the cd changer plug in the back of the stock stereo to provide a headphone jack.

I just run a tape converter. Sounds much better than the FM modulated stuff.

IMO, they have the best products for MP3/IPOD connectivity while keeping OEM aesthetics and sounds great.

I tried one of the FM based setups too, and also found the sound quality kind of poor. Depends how picky you are I guess. I ended up changing out the head unit to something with an iPod hookup, and am very happy with it.
