Slick.  I've been working on building something like that, but as a car receiver type thing which is hooked into the car's audio system.  Then you just plug your iPod in (like putting a tape in) and play your tunes in your car.  No FM transmitter, audio cables, or anything like that necessary.

Pictures please

I've been thinking of the same thing.  We need to get cracking on that.

You beat me by mere seconds. 

That's what you get for being on dial-up.

And at work.    (We've got DSL here.  )

D'Oh!

Ah, nested quotes.  How I've missed thee...

I have found 3 references to the docking bay in a tower, and they all lead here...

but that is a dead link, and I couldn't find anything current.

I'll keep looking though.

Ok...we need a car receiver unit, a bunch of cables, circuit boards, and other spare parts (just in case), a spare iPod dock-connector-FireWire cable to splice into the power system, and a spare iPod dock to rip apart and put into the receiver so that you can hook the iPod in.  Then we need to build the iPod remote right into the unit so you can actually change songs and stuff...

It would be even better to design some sort of software which actually interfaces with the iPod, allows you to control it via the buttons on the car's stereo, and actually see the names of the songs on an LCD...but that would take a lot of work.

That looks kinda ghetto.  For those of you with MDDs, hold your iPod up to the front, see?  It would just fit vertically in there.  You would loose all use of your DVD and CD drives though.
