If you have one, where do you usually keep it? i was thinking about sticking the already provided holster on near the dash for quick access.

Any thoughts are welcome!

For a temporary fix (Until I get my set-up in my glove compartment w/onscreen readout in the unit) - I got this relatively cheap thingy:
Kenwood - KRC-335

I use a short RCA plug and lay it in the valet shelf. It fits nicely and uses the on-board sound rather than an FM Transmitter which sounds like crap.

This is the unit I have been using for mine; the Monster Icruze. It attaches to the factory CD-Changer cable and allows the ipod to be controlled with factory settings.

Monster iCruze

Great thing about them is that you can pick them up for under $20 on ebay.

Sound Quality is excellent, the only drawback is that it can only play songs that are assigned to a playlist, and it can only play 6 playlists at a time.

You can get them for $11.00 on Amazon Amazon.com: Monster iCruze OEM Factory Radio Interface for iPod iCruze (MPC FX ICRUZ): Electronics
But with these kinds of reviews, I might be a little skeptical... And to drop from $149 to $10.99 says something too

I completely agree. I was very skeptical of it at first but figured for such a low price, it is worth the gamble. The unit does have its flaws but I feel it is well worths its price and the sound quality is an 8 out of 10. Just my personal view on the unit. I think if someone is looking for a kick-ass quality sound system, this is not for you. But for someone with a budget, it is an easy effective system that allows for integration by means other than a FM modulator. YMMV.

Cheers.
