Connect Ipod to factory head unit

[badstang123 10+ year member]

I'm looking into a gift for a friend for christmas. She is interested in hooking her Ipod up to her stereo in her car. It's a 2000 Ford Mustang with the Mach 460 stereo in it. I'm just curious as to what you guys think the best way to get the ipod playing through her stereo is. Is it an FM trasmitter? Or something else? And which brand or models would be best. Thanks.

If she has a cassete deck, the cassette adapter suprisingly great quality.

I'm not sure if she does or not (I don't think so though). I'll have to check when I'm in her car next. I'm trying to figure out a way that I can set it up with little or no wires cluttered around though...if that's possible.

What do you guys think of that Griffin itrip. It's almost seems too easy. You just plug the ipod to it and your ready to go without plugging it to anything else? Am I seeing that right? Anyone used this unit?

Are you talking about a unit that broadcasts the iPod over FM radio? If so, those usually ****.
