Congrats on the new car.

The ideal way to get the iPod hooked up is by purchasing a VAIStech SLI integration kit for nearly $300. It's an expensive solution that requires removing the radio to install, but it gives you artist/title on the nav display, and control from the steering wheel.

If you don't want to do that, you can just get a cable to go from the dock connector of the player to the aux jack in the armrest. Something like this: http://store.sik.com/merchant.mv?Scr...ry_Code=CABLES
Sounds the same, but not as convenient.

Last choice would be to pick up a cable at Radio Shack that goes from the headphone jack on the iPod to the aux jack in the center console. This solution sounds noticably worse than using the line level output through the dock connector.

Congrats on the new Veehicle! I'm sure you'll love it!

Bichon, do you have a web link to the VAIStech SLI integration kit? I'd like to find out more about it. I'm currently using your third option (radio shack cable) and would like to find a more elegant solution.
