If the iPod could be directly controlled from an empeg like in dash interface/plugin I just might give it a shot. I tried using the iPod in my friends car on the way to cali and found myself wishing my empeg was in the dash.

Messing with the iPod on the road is just plain dangerous, not to mention that he didn't have all his music on it (I found this out when most of the stuff I wanted to listen to wasn't there....)

I've thought about selling BOTH my remaining empegs from time to time as I feel demand softening, but there just isn't a comparable product out there. If they'd integrated high speed I/O into the empeg I'd probably keep it until it broke, or they came out with the Mk3 (assuming it has a palm tungsten type screen)
