I don't know - it is different. It looks like a primitive way to put the controls of the iPod up front and center but looks clunky to me.

But then my interior is fairly cluttered so I guess in a way that makes me a hypocrite....

Interesting idea, for sure, but nothing beats have a HU that controls the iPod while the iPod is tucked away in the glove box.

I would worry about whacking the front of the receiver on a quick 2nd to 3rd shift with my manual transmission.

With the SRT suspension, I'd be worried that a decent bump would send the Ipod flying.

Agreed, doesn't look very heavy duty to me.

With the Fusion CA-IP500, you can insert the iPod in the unit.

The head unit's display doesn't look all that great, though.

More here.

my opinion.
