Here is a comparison list of all of the ipod integration units available.
http://www.myg35mods.com/tutorials/aux/index.html
This list is missing 2 of them, the one in frogs post and the PXAMG-A. The unit frog has can be found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...fAudioQ5fVideo. The PXAMG-A can be found here http://peripheralelectronics.com/products.aspx. I think these 2 offer the best features. They all install pretty much the same except for the factory Nissan unit which installs in the trunk. The rest of them install up front to the headunit.
If you want to control your ipod through your head unit and steering wheel, as well as display track info on your headunit you will want to go with the factory unit, the ebay one, or the PXAMG. The factory unit doesnt allow aux inputs, but the other two do. If you want the ability to add hd radio, go with the PXAMG. For SAT, there is an option for the ebay unit, but it is a little pricey. I was reading that the PXAMG might work with the factory SAT radio, but I haven't tried it. If you do want to run the factory SAT and have the unit, I can check it on my PXAMG before you decide which to get. Just let me know.

I'm just going to pick up Frog's since you said it's one of the better ones, and it looks like an okay install with the help of demolition and frog

one question I have is about setting the preset #1-4 buttons to use as controls to change artists and songs. In the directions it says turn the radio to XM4,5,6,7 but I can only get my radio to XM1. I'm wondering if I messed something up during the installation because I have to tap the radio button twice fairly quickly to change out of XM back to FM and AM. If I hit it once it just pauses the song for a quick second then begins playing again. I can change the track to 4,5,6,7 but I don't think that's correct. Frog, did you program the buttons, or did the shop? Does anyone know how to get to XM1,2,3,4,5,6,7?
