I got the case & car plug from xtrememac.com - good company, one of the plastic things was missing and they sent me a new one no question. The cord coils which is great for storage and use. Since my cargo van (aka dog kennel on wheels) has only a plain radio I use an old fm transmitter to pump the ipod sound through an unused station. This one plays on any station, not the limited 4 stations on the ones sold now. It is sometimes hard to get a clear station in the city and there is some engine feedback and a whine when the ipod is charging - BUT - it is worth it not having to listen to commercials and songs I don't like. I plan to either get an fm modulator or a new radio with miniplug input this spring. Linda SE Miichigan Ps - imho - dump Norton and get Disk Warrior! I bought it when it first came out - arrived on a floppy disk and it has saved more mac problems than I can count.
