good idea woody... but i dont know a thing about ipods. LOL.
I'll be 62 in December and I'm hardly what you would call a techno-geek. I bought a refurbished iPod Touch (33% off) and could operate every function in it within 20 minutes.
ANYONE can master an iPod Classic, Nano or Shuffle in 10 minutes... they are really THAT simple. For your radio, you can buy a simple wire at Radio Shack that will plug your iPod into the radio. I too, can remember when we used to hang transistor radios from the rearview mirror. Hanging an iPod up there today would be the 21st century equivalent... with MUCH better sound.
