iPod to car stereo?

is there a cheap, quick, and efficient way to make an aux input on the stock 5th gen sound system? I would like to be able to hook up an iPod without having to buy a special faceplate-receiver..

You can buy a cable that plugs into the OEM cd changer input at the back of your stock CD deck. I've got one and it's just super. I got the idea from Dan (soccer3303). Do a search for further deets.

= $160

so basically I would be paying $70 bucks extra just to have my car stereo buttons control the iPod.. riiight..

Roll with the first option. It's quicker to use the click wheel to get to the 500th song on your ipod than it is to click the fast forward button 500 times on your cd player

You don't need the 2nd part unless you really want to charge the ipod at the same time. If not, just use a cheap $5 rca-to-mini stereo jack cable.

Yes, which is awesome in cars with steering wheel audio controls. Too bad preludes don't have those. It also is a more easy install; Truely plug & play. With the option above it, you have to plug in the harness and also tap accessory power and ground for the add-on charging audio cable.

I bought an itrip for my road trip to St. Louis, it made the drive so much better and it was cheap $40 at Circuit City.

A little bit cheaper than the one you posted. I'm doing this myself too so I can finally stop burning CDs.
