One of my intentions with this wood pad was to install a battery-powered remote control for an iPod with 5 very discreetly mounted switches on its side, reachable while driving. I have a Becker Europa II radio, very nice, cosmetically perfect, that I intend to install with very small but powerful amps under the back shelf. The radio has been modified so that if you dial or select via pushbutton "88" or below, a microswitch and relay switches the input to the radio's internal amp from the radio to an external source - the iPod. I have a Blaupunkt Monte Carlo in my 560SL with a steering wheel rim mounted remote, I really like it, and it hasn't gone through one battery in more than two years.
