Default Ipod users...Best auto accessory yet!

Hey all:
If you have an ipod this product is for you.

I just installed the HK drive and play. This unit recently price broke $50 which is why I decided to try it. It's still expensive at $150 but beats $200.

The unit effectively give you full ipod control while you keep yours eyes on the road. It consists of a small screen that is dash mounted eye level and a hand controller by the stick. For ipod users the controls are exactly what you are used to so it is very intuitive.

Installation is easy if you have a basic knowledge of 12volt installation and are able to remove a few interior parts (actually pretty easy).

The HK piece will play through FM modulation, or auxiliary input for perfect sound. I use the PIE adapter which makes use of my auxiliary button on the shaker 500. (a note, the PIE adapter is a $90 accessory giving you access to your auxiliary button on the radio, works well).

As another bonus, the HK unit has an additional auxiliary plug. This can be used for Satellite Radio in the future, for instance.

Overall, this piece is as cool as the ipod and I highly recommend it.

The unit can be used with any car... Either with an aux jack in the head unit or with an FM Modulator built into the unit.
