I have the integrated iPod adapter in my '04 BMW X5 and love it. I cannot wait to get the same type of set up for my 997. The monster FM transmitter sucks in L.A. If anyone knows where I can get an integrated iPod hookup in L.A. now please post it here. Thanks. Once you get spoiled by having all your CDs with you all the time (on the iPod) it's hard to go back to a CD changer. Even my '03 SL500 had an accessory input, so you could hardwire the iPod through the sound system (but you still had to control the tracks from the iPod).
