Ipod connector?

Ok so I'm wondering if they make a device to hook up your ipod to your car and allows you to use the steering wheel controls and also uses the stock audio unit.

it just lags a lot. it takes forever to get to the song you're trying to find. i would just recommend getting a different h/u with a ipod connector or just using the aux input

Also if I'm not mistaken the PAL only works in 07's+

*which I see the OP has, so I'll hush up now

i have a sony xplod headunit with a ipod connector (the kind that makes your ipod like a cd changer) and it works nice, it flips through the songs pretty quick and displays the song title or artist name.

the jensen vm9312 and vm9311, are nice and cheap, hook directly up to the ipod, both have fold out screens, the 9312 however is touch screen so you can pick you songs or what ever, with out taking you eyes off the road tomuch
