iPods don't come with the cable to link to the car or otherwise. They do come with a USB and/pr Firewire cable to connect to the host computer.

I had to buy a cable to connect my Nano and 20 gig to the car. Look on eBay for iPod cable and see where it gets you.....

In the newer cars, there is an Aux in jack in the center console. A cable is made that is basically, 2 male ends of a headphone jack. There's also a cigar lighter plug to power the unit, but in my IS350, there's no way to use it unless the arm rest is tiled up........
