Anything out that is similar to the Harmon Kardon Drive+Play?

My g/f wants something for her car for her iPod. When I installed, I did a bunch of the Drive+Play with mixed results. They've come down a ton in price (looks like they're around $60 on Ebay, used to sell for $200), so might pick one up for her car.

Anything new out there that's comparable/better then the Drive+Play?

if you are keeping the stock HU just use the peripheral piece,

Otherwise if you want to drop some cash, alpine '07 HU line will offer all those capabilities and then some.

I have never been a large fan of the drive+play.

As mentioned above, Peripheral make decent units. As does PAC (Pacific Accessory Company).

With a Drive+Play, the signal will be FM quality (if that matters), whereas with the other units it will be CD/Digital. Also if you go the D+P route, get the FM Direct (Modulator) or it will have static and you will constantly be changing the frequency.
