I'm looking for a device that lets me use my iPod in the car.
I'd prefer if i can hide the iPod in the glovebox, there for operating it via the head unit.
My car is a '54 plate MCS with Harman Kardon upgrade, MFSW and Radio boost.

Basically i want to control the iPod via the MFSW and for the iPod to be charged. Will the tracks be displayed on the headunit??

Any help ALONG with a price would be greatly appreciated!!!

Speak to Mike (NewMiniStuff) or Iain (Audio Advice). Think it is difficult to meet all your requirements, but they will know for sure.

gateway 100 is the way to go http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?action=productshow&id=140
Charges the ipod (inc the newer 5 volt ones), lets you control the ipod from the mfsw & stereo. You have access to all your playlists

The genuine MIini one won't charge newer ipods/iphones & you have to name your playlists MINI1, MINI2 MINI2 etc for them to play

Or you could change the stereo for a more ipod friendly one
