There is a 9.5 option if you have an input to your stereo - Belkin sells a cigarette lighter doo-hickey that has a dock connector for charging and a fixed (but adjustable) level output on it that you can hook to the stereo. This is nice for multiple reasons.

1. If you're fumbling around with the iPod whilst looking at the road, you don't adjust the output volume by mistake (the headphone output varies, but the output from the belkin jobby doesn't).

2. The iPod gets charged while your driving - good for long trips.

3. The iPod pauses when you turn the car off.

4. The iPod cable is a dock connector which is latched into the iPod meaning that when you go around a corner and the iPod gets lost somewhere on the passenger side - the cable is actually anchored into it, so when you try and fish it back you don't end up with just a cable and a loose iPod.

Yeah, thats the belkin charger that I was talking about a few posts above. It really is the only way to go.

Between the Alpine HU and the Ipod/Belkin combo (even with stock speakers in my subaru) I can clearly tell the difference in MP3 ripping quality. You can't do that with the FM modulator or the cassette adapter.

You can -with very little work- make a clean install for your iPod that looks like it was prety much always meant to be there.
