Becker in New Jersey has it for $20

I have Sattelite radio bracket that I drilled into the inside wall of the cubby hole below the head unit. When using the nano I remove the Satellite tuner and just place on the Satellite cradle and plug in via the Aux stereo jack.

I really am not a fan of the Ipod design in general even though I have owned three different Ipod models. Its very easy to hit the wrong button and end up out of you songs list and then you have to look down to get where you need to be.
All this happening while you are driving is no good. So putting it in the ashtray is not a good I think. Better to mount it higher to the windshield where you aren't distracted as long. The BMW setup would be ideal-- where you can change songs from the head unit with the Ipod in the glove box.
Alpine sells a headunit that works with the Ipod and you change songs using a glide button on the head unit itself.

my .02 cents
