that dock in your link won't fit in my car because mine is standard...
I had to dremmel spaces in the ashtray unit, smooth out the bottom of the ashtray door panel (so that when it is opened I could use it as the base for my dock), buy a 90 degree ipod adapter/connector (www.ridax.se), fashioned some sheet metal in order to make my own looking docking station (I 2way taped the ipod connector to the sheet metal box and then I 2way taped the sheet metal box to the bottom of the ashtray), bought an Ipod A/V cable and connected it to the 90 degree connector on one end and to my aux audio and video connecotrs on the other end (I also connected it to my fuse box in order to charge the ipod with an "add-a-circuit"

I ended up ordering this unit from specdoc -
http://stores.homestead.com/2point5/...PKG/Detail.bok
The description on their website isn't great, but this is their AV dock. It doesn't allow the user to control the ipod/iphone from the steering wheel but allows for audio and video out, and comes with a PAC adapter. Add a tv&navtogo unit or avelectric and you'll have video on your nav screen from your ipod. You can also add a dvd if you'd like, both audio and video integration units have additional inputs. I also bought the navigation module from kptech. so I will be able to switch video sources by pressing the enter/OK button on the NAV. Pretty sweet setup if you ask me, and it will look totally stock.

Thanks Ma3aN, but... This mod would be even more off the hook if I had an Iphone because (with the right Iphone) I'd be able to surf the web on my screen...play youtube VEVO videos without wasting any gig space...and nowadays with live streaming sports websites, You'd be able to watch live games on the screen too...SNAP!
