I've been using an iPod Mini in my car and keeping my Touch for use everywhere else, particularly because it's touch screen would be a bigger hassle to use in a car.
Here's some backstory, lately my Mini has really been crapping out on me, first the battery depletes quickly and I have to recharge it every couple days even after only a few hours of use, and more importantly the buttons have become very unresponsive, working sporadically if at all. After restoring and such, I've decided it's too old to be worth my time and I don't want it to cause me to get into an accident. I can't send it to Apple anymore either because it's out of warranty.
So now for my question, I'm looking into Touch mounts to make it actually usable in my car, first does anyone have any experience with either of these mounts?

My second question, I heard it's possible to get the remote that come with Macbooks to work with the Touch to flip between songs and menus. How can I configure it to do so? Right now it's synced with my Macbook Pro.
[EDIT: Ah, looks like I would need to buy the Apple Universal Dock ($50) in order to use the Apple Remote with it. Could be troublesome to try to connect to a car jack and aux at the same time.]
