AUX Port and MP3 Player Question

Yes, you need a double ended hadphone jack. They should be easy to find. try your local Radio Shack. Just ask. If they don't have them in stock they will likely be able to order you one.

 

Here, try these:

I got one right before I picked up my car. I had it at the dealer and the saleman asked what that was for...my ipod of course.

 

I recommend something like this:

Auto Kit for iPod w/ Dock Connector

It has two advantages over the plain headphone jack adaptor. It will power the iPod so you'll never run out of juice. It also connects to the line-out of the iPod which has higher fidelity and is not affected by its volume setting.

 

I forgot to mention that you'll still need that same male-to-male 1/8" stereo audio cable.

 

I agree, this is a better option for connecting the iPod. I believe the 2006 still has the 12V socket in there too, so no wires dangling out anywhere.

...and yes, the same cable we discussed is still needed, so you could just get the Belkin part later.

they sell a cable called the imp. This plugs into the port in the bottom of your ipod. You still need the same double male end headphone cable but you don't have to go through the ipod amplifier. This cable also comes with the a charger-- so you can play and charge you ipod. I highly recommend it-- you will probably notice better sound quality too.
