After searching around for proper interface, I purchased this (http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=305250&i=581PA11H2Y&tp=120) from crutchfield.
Works great. No kitpit of scanning of blank FM station (since my SUV is equipped with no-antenna radio, scanning is pain in the ass).
Since don't have time to do it myself, got it installed at circuit city for $50.
Worth it. No scratching on dash and no tools digging etc....and working in cold garage.:D

If you have an aux input jack, you don't need anything except a cable.
Works fantastic.
Dolly, I paid $149 + no tax + free shipping + $50 to install.:up: :up:
2gud, this interface works Faaaar better than cassette adaptor, because you can control your Ipod from radio controls as well as buttons on steering for radio control. You can FF the song, skip the song and create 6 playlists and switch the playlists from your stereo. You can hide your Ipod in the glove box.:up: :up: And it charges your Ipod too.
So basically it operates your Ipod thru stereo just like CD players.
Yeda, I can not use cassette adaptor, since my suv do not have cassette player. kaayku garib log kaa mazaak udaataa hai. Apne ko tere jisa options daalne kaa nahi parwadtaa.:o ;)

It's a simple cable that has a "headphone pin" on both sides - you can get it from pretty much anywhere where they sell audio/video equipment. I think I got mine from RadioShack a few years ago.

Its an interface unit to hook up your iPod directly to your car stereo, so you can play/control your iPod directly from stereo.;)

Oh .. ok....
SO now you can listen to your ipod while driving? Isntat that dangerous? Plus the earphones are kind of an annoyance while driving, no?
I thought the whole point of an iPod (I dont own one) is to have portable music you can carry in your pocket. Now you connect this to your car - how will you fit the car into your pocket?
