iPod Connector

Does anybody know how I can connect my iPod to my car CD player?  There isn't a little plug socket like I used to have in my last car, seems a bit old fashioned...

Cheap solution is an FM transmitter gadget, which cost from £30 upwards.  Not so good on the sound quality front though, but cheap and easy and doesn't require much in the way of installation.  

 

The more advanced solution is a Dension Gateway, sound quality is much better and integrates in slightly more OEM type of way with the car, they are more expensive though and require a specialist to fit unless you're happy to start fiddling with wiring in your car.

What CD player do you have at the moment?  

 

Its a bit of a pain generally in the Gen1 cars to retrofit something, but certainly achievable.   

 

Umm well it's just a CD player slot and a radio, it's the one that's normally in the car...  

 

The denison thing people have suggested looks quite complicated but if it does what I need then maybe I'll ask Santa :)

 

who can fit these kind of things, no way I can do this

Thanks everyone, I've ordered one (from Santa!) and I have a friend who recommended a local car radio shop who I spoke to and can fit it!! :sSp_bdayparty:

I got my iPod adaptor for xmas (lucky me!) and but it's so complicated i'm not sure i'm going to be able to fit it, i spoke to halfords and they don't fit them because it isn't something they sell, so i'm not sure how to get it done.  So still no iTunes in my car :(

I use one of these in my cheap daily drive, I got this £25 Belkin one from Halfords

It is 'ok' and it's all I wanted for my 30min drive to work, not sure if the higher priced ones are better quality. 

I'd want something a bit more sophisticated for the Cayman though.

The Dension system looks interesting, I'd just need to find somewhere suitable to install it for me, anyone had it done and got a rough idea of fitting cost?
