I need something to plug my iPod in for our trip to Vegas. If you got something cheap, or even something I can borrow, let me know

Scott, if you have the money and time, go get the new Alpine deck that works directly to the ipod, even controls the ipod from the head unit. My friend just got his and it is awesome. I agree on the FM modulator. I just bought mine and it sucks. My old tape connector was a 100 times better than that. The of course get the six channel 700 watt amp and sub. I can't believe how good the stock setup sounds with the new amp and sub.
Have fun, what a blast of a drive that will be.

If you have a MY04 alpine deck they have a digital adapter for the iPod called the interface adapter ( model # KCA-4201). The FM modulator tends to suck a bit but this I.A. is pretty sweet. It also charges your Ipod while plugged in.
