I now have IPOD and SiriusXM and it was cheap!

I found this Kenwood unit at Crutchfield it plugs into the input in the glove box and your Ipod and satellite radio box plugs into it. It was normally $89 for the KOS A300 and the Sirius box but they had a $50 rebate so the whole thing was $39. I paid $240 for installation and the installer moved my Valentine 1 power cord so I could have the detector up by the visor instead of low on the dash like the previous owner.

Looking for suggestions on mounting the BMW like control knob. I had the installer leave it loose for now until I figure something out. The only idea right now is to use a ProClip mount.

Control knob



Display hidden behind ashtray door



Display close up



ProClip option

Looks nice but what was the concept of this? If you don't have iPod OEM hookup and this makes it?

I have an aux input in the glove box, but it doesn't charge the Ipod and I have to control the music from the Ipod and then I still didn't have satellite radio. This plugs in the aux. jack and allows me to plug in and control multiple things with one screen / control.
