The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
IIRC, there is an adapter you can buy for like 20 bucks when you're getting your stereo installed that will let you use the stuff like volume and whatnot if it's built in the steering wheel. My car doesn't have one, so i'm golden.
GOING FROM WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT WANTING TO USE AN IPOD!
I highly reccomend Alpines brand of Ipod designed head units. I have one in my car and the sound quality is awesome, and the build quality is great. If you're going to get one i'd reccomend splurging and getting the most expensive one. It's really worth it if you have alot of music on your ipod.
If you're not considering getting an actual ipod adapter, why not get the stock head unit and a wired FM modulator? You can get them so they piggy back the antenna and you get virtually no loss of sound quality.

This is it. Works great and JVC is a good brand for audio equipment.
