AUX Port for IPOD, think i found it.

Thanks to someone else on this thread, i checked out GROM audio for a integrated aux connetction for your ipod. I am buying this tonight. Take a look at it see what you guys think. Seems like it will be just a straigh aux cable running from the back of the stereo, finally

ebay = buyer beware.... but the reseller from the link you posted has 99% positive feedback so he's probably legit.

Oh and the one I posted is specifically for ipod,

Can't do this using Aux cable.

But aux is also good because it is not limited to using only ipod.
I can plug in and listen to music from my blackberry, my ipod, and/or whatever cellphone my passengers have....

I Have the Vaistech and it works great and sound quality is amazing. But the grom or the pac are not bad either. And if you get the one with only the ipod cable, you can buy this cable and still have aux. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ipod-Dock-Cable-...item3cb19d8116
