I've had my 30gb for going on 3 years or so now, never skipped a beat and definitely worth the dough. I also wanted to connect it to my stock headunit in my car and found a solution online for about $100, it also charges it an allows me to change teh song/artist via my steering wheel controls, so I never have to use my ipod. It's called and Audiolink and I bought it about 2 years ago, its fucking dope. They are specially made for each car depending on the plugs available on the back, mine goes into my satellite radio plug thing, its like a square prong thingie, not sure, but I have mine going into my glovebox, its sweet.
