I have an aftermarket radio, so I hooked the ipod into the input of the radio. As for a holder, I have the flexdock car charger/holder Plugs into the cigarette lighter, and has an output at the base of the dock, so less wires are shown. The pic down't have the ipod connected, but you can imagine waht it would look like. I'm not sure about the stock HU. I don't think it has an input. You could get the itrip.
I like the mini ipod, it holds enough for me, and the size is nice. I have all my music on it, about 800 songs, and only about 500 of those I actually listen to.

I use the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It saves me time from having to hook it up to my HU. Mine works great........it isn't CD quality but it sounds good enough for me if I am taking long trips.

ive been doing some research and heard that the cassette adapter is better quality than the fm transmitter so i may go the cassette route...does anyone know if my hu has rca plugs on it if so i am doing it that way :feedback

you definitely need to take a look at these on this site. At least look into it before going another route. Quik LS posted this link awhile ago and I have saved it thinking I will check it out when I get a chance.
