I think that the result will be much better with a kind of preamp, instead of a headset out.

I'm sure it will be better!
Can't wait to plug my portable DVD player in there...

Yep. Mine will be in the passenger footwell, above the net where the plastic is. And my dealer installs a power outlet there for me too.

Hey,

Just plugged in the Belkin Car adapter, the small ampli makes a huge difference.

It's a must if you want to plug your Ipod in the Aux in.

If I understand correctly it is not possible to use your steeringwheelbuttons to change songs with the Ipod because the aux is only an option to get sound in your stereo.

Correct. You can switch on your steerinwheel the source and adjust the volume.
