Uh, you getting the USB/aux input set-up?? If you are, the radio shows what is being played right on the display. And if you hit the track button on the radio, it shows artist/album information also.

Should have been more clear. Im going to be going thru the AUX. Dont plan on upgrading to the USB interface for $500....but I do want to be able to have the IPOD somewhere easily visible, as opposed to setting it between the seats etc.

pick up a proclip from www.proclipusa.com and run a Griffin AutoPilot or similar (my setup). iPod is pointed towards the driver, within reach, is being charged and has a filtered line-out for sound. rockin'.

Proclips are good and so are Kuda mounts. Proclips are easier to install but IMHO Kuda looks better (more OEM). Go to the their website and they have tons of examples.

Ours sits in the big cupholder, sometimes sharing space with a big cup (or can or bottle). I'm using input too with a headphone jack to AUX input (3.5mm to 3.5mm I think). Sometime soon I'm going to get a 3.5 to dock plug as I've heard it sounds better.
