If you just want to play music all you need is a male to male mini din connector (think headphone cable with a plug on both ends) that will fit into the iPod's headphone jack and the AUX jack in the center console.
If you want to charge the iPod while on the road I'd suggest the Monster charger since it has a 90 degree angle on the cigarette plug end that allows you to close the center arm rest AND charge the iPod at the same time. It also provides a line out jack that will give you better sound. HOWEVER you'll need a ground loop isolator or you'll get "motor whine".
I also added a RF remote for the iPod so I could control it with the armrest closed.
Hope this info helps!

Your ipod will plug into the aux input in the arm rest.
However, the audio quality is not the greatest if you use
the headphone output jack on the ipod. The volume
will also be low. There are two things you could do.
1. Get a dock adapter like the SIK unit.

This will provide full line out volume to the aux input
of the car. They typicaly sell for 20 to 30 dollars.
2. Get a vaistech SLI unit that integrates the ipod controls
into the touch screen of the car. It also bypasses the
I Agree screen by automaticaly pressing the button for you.
