Default Another ipod hookup question

i want to plug my ipod into my stock shaker 500

i DONT have an aux port in the console as in the 07-09's

i want a propper plug in one from the back of the HU to the ipod. and i dont want it to plug into the headphone jack on the ipod, the sound suffers i feel when it does that because of the Equalizer ect...

so any thoughts?
thanks!

I have the iSimple ISFD73 ($150 at BestBuy.com). Cheaper than the Brandmotion that is sure to be suggested, and has two inputs. One can be set up with an iPod interface, and the other can be setup for a stereo mini/RCA jack which you can plug into anything with that output. Also, with some additional cost wiring, you can hook up a satellite or HD radio instead of the Stereo or iPod interface.

I've got my iPod hookup going into the center console. Just plug it in, close the lid, and control the iPod from the Head Unit. The stereo mini/RCA is routed into the glove box. I can pull the stereo jack out the corner of the closed glove box and plug it into my GPS (or any other piece with a stereo mini jack).

As for the guaranteed "iSimple iSucks" that you're about to hear, the guy has no idea what he's talking about. I've had mine in for over a year without a single issue.

Controlling your IPOD from the headunit is the only way to go, screw the aux jack method. It's almost more dangerous to be fumbling looking down at you IPOD trying to change tunes when you can instead be looking straight at the headunit while you're driving.
