That is a great kit, and you can get it really cheap from buy.com. Its $20 plus shipping and its the same, brand new $100 Zune Home kit that retails for $100.

Here's the link:

They also have the $100 travel kit which includes a 12v car adaptor, premium headphones, and a nice wired remote control. Its also $20:

Buy em both and mix 'n match!

Also, if you feel like saving even more, there's a 5% off coupon:

Of course, going back to the original question about a head unit that can control the Zune, we probably won't see anything until 2010. Right now, the Sync head units that you can get with a Ford do control the Zune, but they are Ford only till 2010, then you can probably get them aftermarket.

Well, thanks to 8tracks, I got my zune kit from buy.com at a great price, and it got shipped incredibly fast! I ordered it friday, and got it this morning, I got home from my 7:30 class and there is was waiting for me at my door, only downside to the kit is the battery was DOA, but I have read several testimonials on this kit fron buy.com, and it seems to be a common occurrence with this kit, but for this price who cares!
