iPod question

I haven't been to this site in forever, but it seems that the search function is disabled....i'm sure this has been talked about, but what are my options for playing my iPod mini through my 2002 Bose system? i don't like the cassette player thing, and i don't wanna do FM transmitter...any factory adapters/hardwiring options, and how much would they cost? thanks guys, have a great new years

I read where there are Ipod adapters where you can use your factory radio and steering wheel controls but cannot find more info on if these are availible for the Max.

i just got my cassette adapter from eBay yesterday and it works just fine. i don't think i sacrificed that much quality to use the cassette adapter. b/c i have no clue about car audio, this was my best bet.

I think I'll be getting an iPod later this month thanks to Christmas money. I have a tape adapter that I guess I'll use until I get tired of how tacky it looks. I've heard of so many grounding problems with the hard-wired iPods, so I'm not dropping another $100 on a stupid cable if no one can get it to work properly.

...and oh yeah, this is assuming my iPod money doesn't go to the stupid Nissan dealer to fix that annoying rear o2 sensor DIE P0138!! ...uh, sorry, must be late.

I've got the Apple dock, but haven't wired anything yet. I was using my old cassette adaptor, but the wires are so annoying. I bought an iTrip to use temporarily. $35 is basically like free...lol. Quality is ok, not that great though...
