I listen to audiobooks while driving. I can change the tape without 
looking directly at the tape player. My tape player is rather high--about 
level with the speedometer. The CD player add-on module is down near the 
cupholders. I didn't have room for the larger all-in-one unit, so I had 
to go with two pieces. 

If one merely listens to a playlist, that would be fine. It's trying to 
read the iPod screen while driving that raised my concern.

The new Griffin iTrip apparently can do just that--you set an exact 
frequency from the iPod.
