That said the only downside I see here is lack of 3rd party support. If I buy an iPod I can get the necessary bits to control it from the head unit of my regular car stereo where the iPod pretends to be an CD changer. Doubt I'd ever be able to do that with this.
Compusa has a farily decent selection of them, BestBuy has a terrible selection and Fry's has hardly any out at all.

That said, you are correct about the CD changer interface, the ipod is pretty unique when it comes to that.
