Hey all, finally got my ipod installed in my car (half way, haven't installed the mount yet, doing so in about 5min =) ) And i really don't like having to hit play each time i turn the car on...

I mean, my cig lighter is switches, so when i turn to ACC or on, it gets power ... therefor, ipod turns on, but paused....

I'm wondering if there's some trick or firmware hack out there (if not, there should be) to make this damned thing auto pause when turned off, and auto play when turned on.

Sure, get an Alpine head unit (http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/item_info?p_item_name=CDA-9851&p_category=10&p_subcategory=20&p_main=10) and the KCA-420i iPod adapter (http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/item_info?p_item_name=KCA-420I&p_category=10&p_subcategory=20&p_main=10) .

It starts playing my iPod immediately after turning the car on, right from where I was last listening to my iPod.
