Now, about Ipods. How the hell can I hook it up directly to my car stereo? We use it on the home system and a portable speaker, but not the car. Don't they make car stereos with aux. in jacks? We got one of the FM transmitters and it didn't work with any reliability.

I had a C. Crane FM transmitter for my iPod last year. It worked so poorly, I almost got in several accidents trying to tune in a clear signal when it invariably "floated". Of course I live in L.A. and empty spaces on FM are really tough to come by. And the sound quality was horrible. I finally sold my transmitter on Ebay - I'd doubt that the iTrip works any better (if you live in a big city that is...) The best thing I can do, is use one of those cheap cassette adapters & plug it into the tape deck. Apple really needs to come up with some sort of deck that also plays CDs....
Anyone try the BMW/iPod thing...?
