Default iPod to OEM deck?

Any suggestions on using my iPod with the stock deck? I finally purchased my first iPod this last weekend would like to use it in the car since I spent so much time loading music. I know I can do the AM/FM thing, but they never seem to work that well. If you know of one that works well let me know. Otherwise, any ideas on hard wiring it?

Thanks,

Chris

Default Do you want ipod control on the factory radio or not?

Im ordering an AUX adapter from Crutchfield, I would rather use my ipod to control features and dont care about seeing track info on screen. I dont play/look with crap when Im driving-just my personal preference. If you want full functionality go with Icelink or the like for a bit more $. I too, just got my first ipod this month-welcome to the 21st century.

Default I should have clarified.

No, I don't want to use the radio interface, but just use the iPod controls. I just want a clean connection instead of using an AM/FM thing. Thanks for your help.

Default this setup works for me

I've got this in both my cars right now and like the set up/integration. And the cradle is now iPhone compatible.

Your looking at about $300 for everything. Probably a little bit more than the ICELink, but it's readily available.

S4 is UTK, so I can't get a pic, but here are a few in my Jeep Grand Cherokee

Then go to Crutchfield-get Aux adapter if you have a CDC
