Pretty sure iPod mode is different to Mass Storage. I think the Stereo is able to access the iPod database rather than just read the files. Makes for a bit better experience I assume.
Does your stereo support Bluetooth A2DP? That's what I use for listening to different things from my phone.

Looks like you can get a Bluetooth MDI cable for £70. Pricey.

No, I can't get that - there's no way my brain would let me buy something so ridiculously overpriced.

I agree. Other option is a Bluetooth to 3.5 mm stereo adapter.
I have one in the kitchen that cost about £3 and works quite nicely, apart from a god awful voice announcing when a device has paired. I'm going to look for one that doesn't do that. But not spend much more than a fiver.

The idea is to get more functionality than plugging a USB drive in - anything going via the 3.5mm means losing the ability to use the controls to skip, display track titles, etc.

Yeah true. It needs to be native Bluetooth rather than bodged on.

In theory you can write a driver to make the (big) USB ports do anything. But if you disable the normal USB stack to do that, then you'd presumably also lose use of other USB devices (storage, network, peripherals).
I'm pretty sure what you want to do is possible, but I've no idea how feasible it is and it would almost certainly be worth getting one of the preexisting alternatives instead.

That's pretty cool. Look out for squeak codes 7500, 7600 and 770.

Are they the emergency ones?
