Anyone install a Zune in their 964?

No bad feelings for Microsquish, but there are literally dozens of things for iPods - I have a Belkin unit that is a stalk that plugs right into the ciggy lighter. It holds it up where you can see it (securely), charges it and broadcasts an FM signal that the radio can easily pick up. It isn't exactly high fidelity, but it does okay. I recently drove the 1990 C4 from Ft. Rucker, Alabama to Anchorage (only 6,400 miles!) and used it exactly twice! And I LIKE music!!! The other thing I like to do is just plug in a set of, say, Senheiser headphones and not worry too much about what the speakers think; they'll get over it. Of course, this may not be legal in your area - check with local authorities.

Thanks for the feedback - I found a place for it (for now anyway!).
I have an aux input for the head unit and just needed a mount for th eZune itself... it's fixed to a stalk mount of my own design using some parts I had laying around (the stalk is from a map light and there is a bracket attaching the stalk to the cradle that was a leftover piece from my speaker bracket for my home theater stereo) plus a universal PDA/Cell/MP3 player holder I got at Target.

Thanks for the compliment! That's an IR reciever for the head unit remote - it's actually a little smoked plastic dome, but loooks like a **** in the pic.
It's hard to tell from the pics, but the stalk is actually pretty articulated, so I can move it around, too.

Dustin, how do you expect to manage that bloody gadget where it is located?? You either watch the road or the gadget?!?!? Take care, you hear? Forget the music, you have a marvellous orchestra just behind your back, for chrissakes!!
Cheers!

I ended up changing the location, actually - different mount, too...
Finding a good location is tough in these cars, but I have to have my music.
To all the people who insist on listening to the sound of their engine:
"I know the engine sounds good - that's why I have one!" (I even have a cup pipe and cone air intiake... sounds very good, thankYouVeryMuch)
I enjoy my music when I'm driving - period.
The Zune can play video, but I don't watch movies while I'm driving or anything - thanks for the safety tip, though.
