Looks like I might add this to the install. I knew with the success of the black nano that a full size black ipod was around the corner. Just caught me off guard, didn't think it was being released until Nov. or Jan. I think it will look good replacing my 3rd generation white ipod. What ya think?

I made it for him, and if he would get off his butt you could see how with the pics I took. I mean come on Trent it isnt like you've got two kids a wife and a business to run. Post the damn pics. Of course the best part of the pics is my LS in the background.

:lol: ... cool! That's some nice stuff ... I was going to bury mine inside the cubby but I like what you did much better -- looks cleaner ... but dunno how 'safe' it would be with a ZR ...

Great work though! :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to the pics!

That looks really awesome. Can't wait to see more pictures of this install! The thought of how much it must have cost makes me nervous. haha

They're gonna keep making I-pods smaller and smaller until they have to put a "choking hazard" warning on them.

Depends on whether or not you want your whole library or a partial one ...

Haha, don't get me going on that commercial. I was cracking up so bad. It was a nicely made video though, someone put a lot of time into it.

It's pretty handy. My only problem with it is how slow it can be some times. When you've got a few hundred artists on your I-POD searching for a certain one becomes very time-consuming. It can take several seconds to load each new page of artists, and it only displays something like 5 at a time. I made one large play-list with all of my favorite songs so I usually just let it scroll through that. I like the way it charges the I-POD also.

Diagnosis: It's a much better option than aux. in since you can control it through the stereo, but the technology has a long ways to go.

Console looks very clean, I like it. I would miss my little pocket though.

These are the pics I received from Chad/Encore, the ones he's been wanting me to post for a couple of weeks.
