I believe that Alpine is the only company that is interfacing with the Ipod. They manufacture the BMW HU. I am sure that others will be out soon enough. The main reason that it is taking so long is the complexity of the Ipod interface. It docs, charges, and communicates with the periferals all through the same port. There are some HU's that are having difficulty using a aux input for this reason. Most aux ports only except up to 1 volt. The ipod uses a five volt interface and will cause alot of noise. Newer HU's are increasing the input to this range.
