Connecting IPod To Car Stereo

Hello all. It's been awhile since I posted in the forums. I just got a 30Gb Apple Ipod and would like some suggestions on how to install and play in my car. Does the back of my Bose headunit have any inputs or do I have to go the FM Transmitter/Cassette route? What about mounting ideas? Thanks for any help you can supply on this matter.

I also want to start using my MP3 player in my car more often. Is there any way to maybe hack the factory deck, so we could hook up an mp3 player to the CD-changer input? That way I can hide wiring behind the deck instead of cluttering up my interior.

As Longest your cd Player or tape deck has Auxilary Input you can do that... My firend 330ci 2k3 comes stock with auxilary input all you need is cable to run to it. Its behind glove dpartement.

the cassette player is pretty damn good on the bose system, just get a sony adapter for it. The FM transmitter would be crappier quality.
