Fred:
As I understand, you are using the cb controls to operate the IPOD, does this mean you do not have a CB?, I do have a CB, what do you think about installing the Ipod in the CD changer compartment and somehow connecting it to the CD leads...this way we could use the radio controls in the CD mode, possible? ideas?


thanks for the great info,
Michael

Amazing work! I saw the Burton/Apple ski jacket and drooled but didn't want to spend the cash on it. Now that I see what can be done, I'm going to try to make a patch remote that I can wear on my jacket or slap on the outside of a pack.

WOW!! Thanks for the info, but seems like a lot of work. I just plug my Archos into the Aux plug and snake out the remote. Works fine and no soldering!
