I found this a while back and figured it'd be useful to post here. it's a generic I/O connector for the iPod that you can solder up to whatever you want...

$4 too makes it quite reasonable...

and just for good measure here is a pinout for the connector:

Wow, thats cool. I might make me a cool car charger + stand or something
