Default iPod Shuffle

I have had an ipod shuffle for some time now and would like to connect it to my radio without the tape deck. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this?

This looks like more than I want to try. I am looking for a product that I can buy and maybe have installed professionally.

20GB Phatbox: $165 online. 10-minute DIY install, then sell the old cd-changer on ebay for $50.
I've got mine set up now and it works great.

Ross, just got an ipod mini myself. So you connect the ipod to the Phatbox or use it instead/ipod ?

Default Instead of, unfortunately.

Audi is introducing a new iPod interface, but I'm pretty sure it won't work with our cars.
What I like about the Phatbox: it's invisible and works with the steering wheel buttons.
What I don't like: the head unit won't display song names; only track numbers.

Default 2nd the Phatbox recommendation.

I have 1200+ songs loaded up to start and still have a ton of disk space left. Need to load up some more this weekend. Agree that the lack of song names is a bit of a drag, but the voice announce feature for artist, album, etc., is better than I thought it would be. Love the Phatbox!
