iPod question
Recently bought an iPod which is a truly fantastic bit of kit (converted from my previous negative prejudice towards any Apple related product) and am debating the ICE options available with the S2000.
After a few searchs i've learnt all about the Denison ICE>Link and adaptor to plug into the CD Changer port.
However this still means having to perform more sophisticated track/playlist selection on the iPod wherever i end up installing it in MY02 (unlike 04 owners who have the useful extra space in the centre console).
Is there a stereo on the market that allows you to access the iPod menu structure directly from the stereo?
Probably not but thought it worth checking....

AAC - unless you've got a heck of a sound system in the car, with all the background noise you won't hear the difference. Plus the lossless format is to big filesize-wise so you can't get much on the iPod using that.
That said, its a very personal thing so you're best off encoding some stuff at different bitrates until you find something that's acceptable.
