The thing about this P.I.E. iPod controller is that it actually lets you control the iPod from the radio's CD controls (fwd, rwd, next, etc), not from the iPod itself. Trying to change songs on the iPod while driving is not easy. I would much rather use the CD controls from the stock radio.

And yes, it also charges the iPod, so that's a bonus. I want to simply hide my iPod in the glove compartment or somewhere and have access to all my music.
