yeah kenwood do a wee box for their newer head units that fools them into thinking the Ipod is an autochanger so u can change tracks etc from the head unit, and keep ur i pod hidden.
,
Been meaning to get one but have to i pod first, couldn't be arsed spending the money though.

Some car makers are making i pod connectivity an option on their new models!! cool eh

You can get a lead for aux in Nickl0 has one for his, or I got the ipod adapter for my pioneer and its trick as.  I can view the entire library on my screen as well as search and view by track name artist or album name :grin:
