Basically my ipod mini is in my dock which is connected to the ipod charger and the auxiliary port from my headunit. Its hidden behind the dock and I think it looks great. Maybe soon I will paint the dock black...
Stealth: what I do before driving is set it up to a playlist and then attach my remote to the ipod, so looking at the ipod mini is not necessary, I just switch songs, volume etc. via the remote
Hehe, I tried a ground loop isolator in my setup between the distribution amp and the head unit- and it just caused MORE huM!! but then I put it in between my neons and the DA, and it all went away
