Some info..
What type of iPod are you getting? One of the new G4 iPods? The Photo iPod? I read another thread where someone purchased an iceLink to hook up an iPod to their 3. You can find it at iPod iceLink . You might want to check that out.
Also, if you're willing to buy a used one, you can check this out: G3 40gig iPod for sale .

i hacked my radio and soldered a cable to the cd input line (you dont have to do that anymore) and ran the cable and put a female 1/8 conector so i can hook the ipod to ma radio.... oh btw u have to use a "blank" cd ( an track with nothing on it ) so u can hear your ipod here is the picture

Check out the VW "pod" edition bugs..They had a charging sync cradle as part of the cup holder. Looks pretty cool. However, at radioshack we sell the iPod "car kit" charges AND connects to your FM radio without hacking up your car..just plug it in.

I didn't like the look of the fake CF trim. I bought a dash strip of off a 2.0L Mazda3. As for the pedals, those are available from Mazda, they are the North American aluminum pedal covers. I also found a similar dead pedal too, an AC Schnitzer knock off nonetheless!
The cheapest way to connect your iPod to your stereo would be either an iTrip or either of these hacks...see post #5.

No, I have a PIE module, an M-Bus to 1/8" cable, a Belkin Auto Kit and an Arkon CM638. The gooseneck isn't powering the iPod and with the Belkin Auto Kit and the PIE module, I have a line level input directly into my stereo.

You realize that that post was from nearly four years ago, right? The soldering input method was popular when the 3 first came out as there weren't any other hardwired methods to use. If you want to add an input I highly recommend going with one of the off the shelf units which just plug into the stereo.... they start at about $50. Check out the audio input thread stickied at the top of this forum for details.
Also a 1/8" connector is the same thing as a 3.5mm jack.... basically a headphone plug.
