   I thought it was about time to share my discovery. One of the normal video ipods will slide perfectly into the ashtray in your saxo, leaving room for the aux cable to come back out and into the head unit. When driving along resting your hand on the gear nob you can reach the buttons to skip songs and can just about see what song it is. My ipods scratched on the back anyway, so no worries

   Could always line it with felt or something to stop the scratches

    Shuffle connects through head phone port to USB. You might be able to get one off ebay?
    
    Is your connecter just a cable with a USB port? If so then thats ok.
    
    If its a direct one from the unit to ipod adapter then your stuck and will need a nano etc rather than shuffle. (Inless there are standard ipod connection to USB port on ebay)
