Car Stereo with Bluetooth and iPod control

I'm gonna have a look at this one at the weekend.

It doesn't have 'iPod' controls, just a front mounted aux input, but then again, I don't have an iPod

Looks quite good from the phone side, but (and I may have missed something here) I can't see anyting about an iPod or MP3 player interface, just that it plays MP3's off CD's.

I looked at the rhythm n blue but like the above poster says it doesn't have ipod control - just plays mp3s off the disk

the main reason for the ipod control is because I drive long journeys twice a week and usually listen to audiobooks and the fm transmitter solution is doing my head in - I contstantly have to retune it when as interfearence gradually drifts in - it's a proper itrip aswell. I had tried a tape adaptor from the ipod but for some reason the car stereo in my current car and old car keeps trying to automatically change the tape over???

I was actually in halfords looking at these during the week and I might have to settle for one but I would have liked to have been ale to control the ipod from the stereo so that I can leave the ipod hidden - it will also charge it then.

I have seen some at halfords that are bluetooth and with ipod control but they are a couple of hundred more than the one on the link which I can't justify to the wife
