Thanks for that recommendation but $200 is a little over my budget...

Plus I don't really need any automatic muting, music sensing or other
fancy stuff. Just a simple box to plug the iPod in... Is that really
that difficult (read expensive) to fabricate?


I had my avionics guy install a small port in the dash of my 172 that I
can plug a cable from it to my iPod. It works great. I think he charged
me $50. When chatter comes on the radio it automatically mutes the iPod.
Sometimes though I just stick one of the buds in my ear under one side of
the headset and tune out anything on the other side until I hear my call
sign.
