Default iPod Question

Just got an iPod as a gift and was wondering if there was anything that would allow me to use it either in conjunction with my CD Changer, or replacing it as my head unit does not have any inputs other than the CD Changer input.

I have an Alpine TDA-7558 with an Alpine CHA-S614 CD Changer.

Thanks!

Default He is from the TT forum...made blitzsafe adapters for those who have cd changers...

the blitzsafe adapter is the easiest way to hook up the ipod for those without the stock cd changer...

I think his name is jeff bipes...

I have an iTrip too, but I'm not too happy with it. I guess I'm expecting too much from an FM trans
