wish there was a direct-connect (usb, for instance) to the head unit for mp3 or ipod. i've got the 60gb ipod full of music - over 10K songs.
looking into the whole idea of a mac mini (how appropriate) for music, nav, etc...

before I ordered my MINI, this was one of my largest debates. Wasn't sure if I should order the iPOD adapter. I did some research and found out the details on how the iPOD adapter worked in the MINI's and BMW's. When I did find this out I decided against the factory iPOD adapter.
I will go with an aftermarket Alpine hu that has full control of the iPOD.
I am glad to hear that the factory hu will play mp3's. My MA said that the unit would not play mp3's.
I wonder how come they are not aware of this...

Actual uses for my AUX INPUT:
iPod
other digital media player
portable CD player a.k.a. "discman"
laptop <-- fun!
portable DVD player
battery powered guitar amplifier <- fun fun fun!
microcassette recorder/player

Exactly... I have a ton of movies and Navigation on my laptop. Great to use over the HK system.
I also have a USB drive player which connects to the cigarette lighter and offers an Line Out port that works great with the Aux Input. I use by 1 and 2 gig usb keys for just shuffling my music in my other cars... but now i can do away with the cassette adapter in the MINI

However, I will still get the AUX INPUT installed. Why? A lot of folks don't realize the aux input isn't just for iPods, but anything that has (or can be converted to) a 1/8" stereo jack!
