Okay, iPod rant over...get just get the cable and hook it to the AUX input on the 990. Works like a charm.
Though you may not care for the iPod there are several advantages to the docking unit:
1. You don't run the battery down with the docking unit it runs from wall outlet.
2. The output signal is stronger thru the dock output.
3. You can use a remote with the dockoutput to control the iPod.
I agree there are alot of crappy aftermarket accessories for the iPod but the docking unit is not one of them.
