Shylo, I believe Apple also have a 40G version now.

That is one place to read about it, but in our local mall, we have
an Apple store so that's where I went to buy it. It is very pricey
and they offer various methods of mounting the iPod. Even though
the SHO is a big car, there aren't many convenient places that don't
interfere with driving or use of other things.
