I was wondering which would be better for my car audio system.. Would it be better to use a 3.5 to 3.5 connector to my head unit or a 30 pin connector to 3.5 to my head unit? I have an ipod btw.

IIRC it will use the digital output instead of the analog if you use a 30 pin cable, which will sound quite a bit better.

Err, nevermind. I just thought about it again, it will also be analog, unless it connects to a digital in port.
So you might want to save that 30 pin connector for charging instead.
