(there is a cubby under the radio right?) Not quite the same but it will work. And with owning that, I don't see the point of me getting the iPod unless I just want to support apple. I will do that when the release thier Intel/AMD processor compatible operating system.

Acutally, *ANY* accessory that you have put in the car that touches the electrical system (XM, Mirror, or Ipod) requires some pretty heavy disassembly of the interior, including (at least) the lefthand side of the dash where the fuse connections are. The mirror also requires removing the trim around the A pillar on the drivers side (the car isn't pre-wired so you have to run the cabling up from the fuse box to the mirror.)

As long as the itunes software is intel-compatible, who CARES about the O/S on the Mac computers? When it comes to the most cost-effective way to listen to 60 gigs of stuff in the car without swapping out a zillion CDs (at least the HCH drive is MP3 compatible - my Accord is not) I'll take it all in one unit, just because I never know when I'll be driving along the roads of NC and suddenly decide to swap from the Branderberg Concerti, to the Dukes of Hazard soundtrack.
You just gotta have ALL the music in one place to make a quick change like that.
(I switched up to the 60gig Video iPod because (a) I thought I was getting the HCH with the ipod attachment anyway, and (b) my first generation Dell Jukebox is now so old/out of warranty that Dell doesn't support it any more, so it had to go, anyway.)
