Buy a new car stereo that accepts either Auxiliary Cable Input or direct USB connection with iPod. Other than that, you will have to use a radio FM tuner.This. FM tuners generally have a lower audio quality.
if your car has a tapedeck, you could get one of those ipod-to-tapedeck adapters.
try to get a stereo with an Apple licensed interface system - that way you can control the ipod selections thru the stereo....with an aux in option, you still control the plays using the ipod in your hand.

Maji, that's one thing I'm worried about. The way my dash it, it's all digital and it controls my heat/air and everything else. I dunno how they would actually install a cd player. :gloomy

I strongly, strongly, once again advice against this. You WANT to just control it using the iPod in your hand.

i have a friend who has that in her car and it's always a pain in the ass to scroll through artists to get to an album
esp DJ mixes. if musical artists were continents, her collections of musicians with "dj" before their name would collectively make up antarctica

No - I can control my ipod using a set of buttons on my steering wheel, my voice by saying an artist/album/song or by using the nav system touch screen. All of the same sort options, play features and playlists on the ipod are available if you have a proper interface system.
Holding it in your hand is better? with a cable connected? looking down like you are dialing a cellphone number to nav? hahaha no.
In order of best to worst possible solution....
BEST - apple licensed interface system on a car with a proper stereo and an air conditioned compartment for the AV electronics
- 3rd party interface system for stereo without AUX
- audio out -> AUX on stereo
- just wear the damn earbuds while you drive
- Tape adaptor
WORST - FM/AM broadcaster
To say its better to hold the ipod in your hand is to show you just havent had it any better - which is cool. I couldnt have imagined it could be as good as it is with the right set-up.
That's all fine and dandy, ab...but not all of us are multion zillionaires. ::)
