IE, would an iPod one work? The reason I ask is Monoprice has some good deals on Zune power cables, but they don't carry an AV cable. http://www.monoprice.com/products/se...d=zune&x=0&y=0 But they have cheap iPod cables and I bet the are actually the same since at least the audio portion would have to be standardized. http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...ormat=2&style=

I paid a total of 28.18 including priority mail shipping and got the AV cable, 2 AC adapters (1 for work and 1 for the dock which is getting hooked up to my TV), 1 cig lighter adapter, and 1 synch cable. I love Monoprice! Now to see if my Harmony remote can be set to act as the Zune remote!

The Zune sounds great! The FM transmitter might be a nice piece to have when a set of RCA jacks are not available.
