You can use a piece from Peripheral Electronics but you will have to loose your CD changer if you have one.http://peripheralelectronics.com/2002/ipod.asp

This piece will give you direct audio input to your radio.So no FM interferance and your radio buttons will control some of the Ipod. Also it will charge the Ipod. You can find these pieces online or I can get you one if you like.

Another option is FM modulated. The sound quality is not as good but some people do not even notice. Also it cost less and is alot easier to install. Most FM modulators you do not even take your car apart. FM modulators can be found at Circuit City, Radio Shack, Best Buy , and so on.

if you have a cd changer you can build your own ipod connector while still keeping the stock changer. look at the c5 audio guide for a how-to. let us know if you have more questions regarding this.

Get a Belkin FM transmitter from Walmart 15.00 and you are good to go.

crap, i just looked at the link and it looks like it got corrupted in the archives. you can email powerdoc (i think that's who has done it) and he could send probably give you a link on how he did it. if he doesn't reply let me know and i'll explain how to do it.
