Ipod to Aux Adapter?
Is there an adapter that exists where I can adapt the 30-pin ipod interface to an aux input? I've searched without success.
I know I can take out the radio, unplug the ipod interface, then wire up the aux input, but I really don't want to bother with all that if I don't have to.
Thanks for any insight anyone can offer.

Thanks again for your reply. To clarify, my car does have the 30-pin ipod interface in the glove box.
Yes, what you linked to is exactly what i wanted (assuming I can get it to work). I've seen many adapters like the one you referenced, but they typically state they're intended for an ipod dock and wont work in a car. The one you referenced states it will work in Mercedes, but it also says "cable doesn't work with all types of 30-pin male dock station speaker such as Vehicles with 30pin...".
It's so confusing. I think I'll just buy one or two of them and see if they work. Luckily they're cheap!
If I can get one of them to work, I think I'll get something like the and that way I can have both calling and music streaming cheap and easy while retaining everything in the dash as stock.
