my Aiwa CDC-MP3/WMA-2 (One of the first large scale production car MP3 players made in the world, has a stealth face which turns itself inside out to a blank black face to match your interior, and only available in the US, basically imported it to AUS) has a stereo jack input for AUX on the front. You could get one of them form the US if you you'r real desperate. I just had to be one of the first kids on the block with an MP3 player int he car (back in 2001) plus I didn't want the hassle of carrying a stereo face.

Most chinese generic stereo's these days have AUX inputs on the front.

If not get a mad quality stereo, then drill 2 holes in the side of your center console (right under your passenger side glove box) and go to jaycar n get 2 RCA female mounts, then wire them to the aux inputs of the stereo. It'll lok nice n clean and you can plug it in n it won't get in the way of the gearshift n stuff. Oh and it won't look ugly on the front of your screen.

Hmmm, so far the other suggestions I've had were both JVC or Aiwa, dont much think the JVC's look too hot tho, how are the Aiwa's ?

I guess I wish Alpine would come out with something nice liek this :)

You can still get an Alpine (i have a 7893B and am intending to use the rear AUX input and have a pair of RCA's feeding in from the back to a stereo plug to the ipod - (havent done it yet)

yeah you can use any stereo with AUX inputs at the back, just get a cable and drill 2 holes make a flush mount on the passenger side (where the feet are) for the plugs, and then when you need to plug in your Ipod, just plug em into those.

Its sort of like a hard mounted extension.

I would recommend the JVC also.

But yeah, you could use any HU with rear AUX, just run some leads.

Could be a bit fiddly if its not close enough to use though. eg on the passenger side.

Does your Ipod have a remote??

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
