Default Ipod to head unit

Is there a way to set up my ipod with a direct feed into my head unit. Instead of getting one of those FM transmitters n play my ipod through the radio. those things have their problems. I wana set it up so that a Stereo plug runs into my glove box so that i can just plug it into the head phone jack of my ipod n play it directly. Like the BMWs, VW are now equiping their cars with. A stereo jack.


My head unit is the Sony CDX-F5710 i havent looked at the connections in the back since i set up my subs. it says it has an auxilary input so maybe I can use that. but anyother way i can set this up
