I hear they don't work very well, especially in larger cities. The
integrated ipods in the BMW and now Mercedes and others are very cool, with
a display on the dashboard, controls on the steering wheel etc. I know there
are after market companies that will integrate it, but I'd like to se what
Nissan has up its sleeve......

Unfortunately, Nissan has nothing currently "up their sleeve" when it
comes to Ipod (or other MP3 player) integration. Neither do any of
the other aftermarket manufacturers who displayed their wares at the
recent SEMA and CES shows. Something about the Nissan/Infiniti radio
interface that prevents it.
That said, I believe the new Pathpuppy had the identical external AUX
3.5mm input that is on the Armada and Titan which will allow you to
plug your Ipod directly into the stereo system. You still won't have
control over it from the steering wheel controls (which is what you
seem to want), but it does beat using the RF adaptors and the tape
type units. Look for the input on the lower center dash, marked
'AUX'.

Do you know if this is true of the Bose system as well?
