Hi
Looking for some advice on ipod and car integration.
At the moment I am using 30gb ipod with fm transmitter iTrip - And i hate
it! The quality isn't good enough and I have no holder for my ipod which
means i have to stretch down to the floor in order to skip tracks. Changing
artist is a nightmare and I have to pretty much rely on pre-made playlists.
This kinda defeats the point of an ipod, relying on pre-made playlists
because I could just make do with CDs!!
Now, I want to make best use of my iPod because other than in my car, I have
no real use for it at the moment! And i only bought it in December.
My car is a Ford Ka with a factory fitted CD player.
I have thought about getting a cheap after-factory CD player fitted which
would provide me with an aux 3.5mm audio input.
Trouble with this option is that I have heard the iPod won't give me a loud
enough output and won't be as good as listening to CDs.
Then I came across in-car cd players that can connect to an iPod via USB
cable.
The one I have come accross is Goodmans

They are very cheap to pick up (under £50).
Has anybody got this? What's it like?
I understand you can browse through artists/albums/search etc using the CD
players interface. However, the display looks terrible! It only had 1 line
text!!!
Anybody recommend another?
What solutions are everybody using? Is it just rediculous to think I can
control my music to my hearts content whilst driving? Something tells me
voice-activated would be the best option but doubt this exists!
thanks
Darren
