"there's nowhere in my car to plug my iPod in..."

I feel that same struggle, but now it's with new vehicles thanks to bluetooth becoming the be all/end all to music device interfacing. When I bought my Mercedes a couple years ago, whether it had a way to plug my iPod classic in was a determining factor for me (and it did).

I still run my iPod when I'm listening to music in the car, a much smoother and less distracting experience. The only thing worse than not having a way to plug my iPod in is having to use a god-awful touchscreen, the bane of modern vehicle media centers. IT HAS NO HAPTIC FEEDBACK, HOW CAN I USE IT WHEN IM DRIVING?!?

Thankfully, most manufacturers are coming to their senses - Mazda has eseentially axed any touchscreens for future models. They're waking up....slowly.
