Hey thanks for the welcome, all,
I looked into the IPOD integration..and it looks pretty awesome. I'm assuming hiding the wires was not much of a problem under the trim/seats.
I also found this other cool gadget called spec.dock from 2point5 (google it..you'll find tonnes of links) that holds the ipod nicely in place. Does anyone have this installed as well?

I'll share pics soon.
Thanks!
