If this is true then I'm gonna buy me one....
I clicked on some of those links that went to the product page of those docks. It appears that you still need to get a mini-jack cable. The difference with those is that the audio from the dock uses the line output, which is a cleaner audio than what the regular headphone output gives you.

Sorry i felt compelled to use a quote from my design professor there.

I use the Belkin unit and it works great, you would need a cable to go from the belkin unit to the aux jack in the car.

The monster unit intrigues me because it works to preserve the battery life, apparently its bad for the ipods to be plugged in all the time and that can destroy their battery life.
It's $65 because the cable is made of silver, which is a better conductor than copper and aluminum.
