Where to get an iPod

The deed is done, I have in my hand a shiny new iPod, just looking now to connect it to the car, I like the look of the Podgear dock link you sent me, but I was wondering if I could permanently mount it somewhere and run a seperate power feed to it (to free up the cigarette lighter socket).
Could you have a look on the back of yours and see if it looks like this might be feasible?
Thanks, :D

My stereo has a little flying lead out the back of it with a standard jack plug on it, cost a whole £6.99! I use it for my laptop so can run it through the car speakers and can be used for pretty much any mp3 player with a standard headphone socket. Not that i use it for that as the stereo has a built in memory card slot for putting all my mp3s on and there's no moving parts so it dont skip when out playing 8)

I have the Denson Ice Link in the Jeep. Just drop your ipod in the cradle and the stereo head unit thinks it's the mother of all auto changers!!!
Never had it skip, even when on really rough stuff, they're fairly bullet proof.
Oh, and the other thing, if you haven't already got your music stored as mp3 it's worth storing them using Apple's .aif format. (Can be done using itunes). It's a modification of the .mp3 codec, same file size but with much better quality. Almost CD standard!!!

That's my kind of price tag!
Can you remember where you got it from? [-o<

Zebidee has one of those fitted, he gave me a link to a retailer, I was put off initially by the price, but I'm not really too worried anymore about price.
I've had another look at the spec, and it seems that you replace your cd changer with the iPod, which sounds logical, but at the moment I don't think I want to get rid of it.
Still it's food for thought. :D
