And, is there any way I can amplify or step up the voltage in the iPod cable to provide the required extra juice? I quite like the iPod app the HU came with but ideally I'd like to be able to leave the 160GB iPod in the car for that purpose.

I have a 160GB classic, and it functions fine off the TUN21A. I've never seen the battery die on it. It freezes regularly and needs to be rebooted or refreshed on occasion, but that's because crApple, not the HU.
