I bought a 7th Gen 16GB iPod Nano for my bike.
Also use it in my RAM 1500, my kid's Jeep, at work and sometimes stand alone.
Those that say get a thumb drive, ONLY if that's the only place you use it.
I took the USB out of the "juke box" and ran it into the TourPak, so I'm not worried about someone having easy access to my electronics.

I have ipod touch that I will not put on the bike. I have a micro sd card with thumb drive adapter and it is great. Album covers and all. Does everything an ipod can do. Search for songs or artist with right joy stick.

I use my iPhone over Bluetooth. Otherwise, I'd be using a USB thumb drive...easy, cheap, and small.

I use the iPod Nano, plugged into my bikes USB. I leave it there. My phone rides in the tour pak, accessed when desired via Bluetooth. When needed I also charge my phone in the tour pak.

Don't waste your $$ on an iPod. I wouldn't even think of using an iPod on this system unless you already have one......anything you can do on an iPod (With the Boom Box 6.5) you can do with music on your smartphone or even better MP3s that you can download to a thumb drive....you won't be controlling your music at 60 MPH from your iPod but rather the system will be doing it so any features of the iPod are typically lost when using it with the BoomBox so the best way to do that is with one of the devices described above.....save the money for the iPod and buy something else for your bike 
Good luck!
