I want to listen to my ipod via the car speakers using an auxilary input because its a direct line to the speakers, and what i have now is the cigarette lighter plug in which connects through the car radio, and it has miserable connection/quality. Its a 2005 base model vibe pontiac with automatic transmission and on the radio theres the cd/aux input option but there is no auxilary input, and trust me i know what im looking for. however, there might be one on the back but i dont know because i havent disconnected the radio. i want to be able to plug my ipod in using the headphone jack, not the docking port, so this would work with mp3 players as well. what can i do? is there an adapter i can buy that will plug into something on the back?

My father has been refurbishing a 1967 Pontiac LeManns for several years. He is ready to start shopping for a car stereo but wants an easy to use car stereo with a buiilt in ipod dock. Not a cable he has to plug the ipod into but a dock he can just slip the ipod into. I know there are new, factory direct cars out there that have such docking stations and am wondering if fabricating such a docking station into the dash or console of the car is the only way to make this happen. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have already seen several car stereos that offer a built in cable and jack for an ipod but none that have a docking station as part of the stereo itself.

Thank you
