Something like this I would guestimate could be made for somewhere in the neighborhood of $70-$80.
As for the vario-top "one-touch" device, it's not compatible with our cars and was the reason for me working on the Quick-Touch Top. BTW, the Quick-Touch Top is a 5 wire install and while it doesn't do keyless top operation (don't understand a benefit of it since you have to manually latch/unlatch the top anyways) it does do express up and down of the windows.
Electronically - you switch your stereo off and plug in and power up your iPod/iPhone/MP3 player and the interface box switches on the amp and away you go... Power on your stereo and the interface box switches back to the radio...
Solisto also makes a CD interface for Chrysler OEM stereos equipped with a CD changer for around $150.00 with cable - but you have to mess with purchasing overseas. (unless you can find their USA distributer) But it offers lots of different input options...
