Well to start things off, I had my iPod touch 1st gen. stolen out of my car, and finding out that the cable I use to play music over my Alpine headunit will not work with my newly acquired iPod touch 2nd gen. has prompted me to look into other ways to have all my music with me in my car as well as be able to play it over my stereo.
I found this lovely little A2DP receiver online very cheap:
Here
I know it is made for use with headphones, but it will work with anyone who has an AUX in on their car stereo.
Now my next issue was to cover charging so that I would not be left with a dead DROID after driving around town, and so I found this cheap Belkin car USB charger:
Here
With these two items I should be able to use my DROID, wirelessly even, for music in my car as long as I am not in need of charging at that moment. I have these items ordered and will post again once they are received to update you guys on if everything is working as expected!
P.S. If any of you are looking for this setup and also have an Alpine headunit with the M-Bus adapter on the back, I found this M-Bus to RCA adapter:
Here
I already have an RCA to 3.5mm jack cable that I am planning on using, but they can be found quite cheap as well at local stores.
All in all, this has cost me less than an iPod cable that would work with the newer iPod I have, and makes everything much simpler, reducing the number of devices I carry. Hopefully this helps someone, I am curious to see what the audio quality for A2DP is while streaming music from the DROID, anyone doing this and have advice?
