Default new iPod interface

Ice-Link
ice>Link:iPod is the ultimate car kit for your Apple iPod. iPod audio is routed through your head unit's CD changer port and keypresses including FF & RW are passed from your head unit (and steering wheel controls in suitably-equipped vehicles) to your iPod resulting in safe control of your iPod while driving.
The site's a little odd in that clicking on links changes the text at the very bottom of the page instead of taking you to a new page.

That is great news - Been waiting for someone to come up with this. I hope they have an interface for Alpine AI-NET sometime soon!

The photo has hot spots. Clicking on the bottom of the iPod reveals
ice>Link : iPod includes a FireWire port for in-car charging of your iPod. 1st and 2nd generation iPods are charged through their FireWire ports; 3rd generation iPods through their dock connector.
Clicking on the radio face yields
When you enter CD changer mode on your head unit, your iPod starts playing. When you return to FM/AM, your iPod pauses.
Looks like they planned this thing well

Funny how these things work out - I bought my 15GB iPod a couple weeks before the mid-model changed to 20GB, and I installed the PIE HON-AUX last week.

Very Interesting! How do you navigate around the Ice-Link Site? Want more information such as pricing, etc., but unable to find.
