Step one, go to Radio Shack and pay ~$5 for the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. (Be sure to get the one marked "Stereo" because they also carry a Mono plug)

Step two, if you have Std RCA inputs on the deck in your vehicle, then head down to Circuit City/Best Buy (better yet, if you have a Fry's Electronics in your area...GO THERE!), wonder back to their car stereo department. You should find a small black kinda pyramid looking adapter there. I paid around $25 for mine. What it is, is an adapter designed for the iPod. It accepts your standard headphone jack at the black box end, on the other end, it has your two RCA male ends to plug into your deck. I can't remember the brand name, but to give you any clue, my first one came with a $200 deck from Walmart, I forgot to remove it from my truck after I wrecked it, so I went out and bought just the adapter.

Either at the Electronics store, Radio Shack, or WalMart, pick up an iPod cable. You'll know it when you see it. Has a male headphone jack on both ends. Get the "Shielded" one if you can for best sound quality.

If you want to get really fancy, go ahead and grab yourself a universal dash mount kit, run all your wires nice and clean like so all you have to do is grip your phone in, plug in your charger and the stereo cable, and rock-n-roll. That 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter will work on many other phones as well. Plus, if you do get ticked off and buy the iPod, you can use the same setup minus the adapter!

Hope this helped.

I have used this setup for my laptop, phones, iPods, and anything else that uses a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is also an adapter made by the same company that looks nearly identical that I intertwined in my center console with a Dual-throw switch that let me hook the audio from my laptop through the car stereo, and the video through to a dash mounted TV...before I had GPS on my phone (I was using Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007 with the GPS locater....worked great!)
