Default iPod hookup but with no head unit?

I just want to know if there is any product out there that you guys recommend that you can use you connect your iPod to your car with out purchasing the full head unit.

I have a Mach 460 sound system if that matters at all.

Thanks.

I dont think you can do this without doing some complex wiring. I would recommend getting a cheap head unit off of ebay or woofersetc.com... It only takes about 15 mins to put in the new one. All you need is a metal coat hangar to take out your old one.

for now I am using a Belkin Tunecast. basically it plugs into the Cig lighter and then the data port on the bottom of my Ipod and transmitts on a FM station. works ok... But this is one of the reasons I am ditching my stock HU.

Go to crutchfield.com, order the USA Spec device. It plugs into the rear of the headunit, and the cd changer then plugs into that. You don't lose anything, and you can still listen to your ipod.
