just a regular quality head phone to head phone stereo cord any length (mine reaches the back seat) you wish goes in the head phone jack of iPod and into the aux jack on the stereo unit.
the girl friend does it all the time.
cheers

Pick up a pocket dock from Sendstation so you can use line level out for the best sound. Everything else is the same as everyone has suggested.
Other wise if you plug into the headphone jack you have to have the ipods volume cranked up too high to hear it.

Not true. I keep mine at 3/4 volume and the sound is fine. I can even turn it way down and still be fine. It has a lot to do with the quality of the mp3/mp4's you have. I have a few low quality mp3's on my iPod, and when I hit those I have to turn the volume up. But for good quality files, even 1/2 volume is enough (though I like to listen loud, so I have the volume at 3/4 and the stereo's volume full on 
)
If you go above approx 90% of the iPod's output volume, with a good quality file, it will distort.

A simple 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable as noted is a better solution.
If you are wanting a more "permanent" solution, many of us have went with the Belkin (or other brand's similar models) iPod "stalks" that plug into the cigarette lighter, and provide a flexible "stand" for the iPod. The iPod plugs into it, it offers a line level out connection, and will keep the iPod charged.

I ran an $8.00 radio shack cable around the perimeter of the dash console. It just so happens that it tucks neatly into to gap around the dash console. (i need to take pics of this). I installed an $8.00 bracket that holds the ipod (nano) where the power window switches would be (i have manual windows). I'll get some pics going soon. it's pretty clean for a 16 dollar mod.
