Maybe dumb question, but how do I connect my iPod to the aux port in dash?

[ben__allen]

What type of wire thingy do I need to have to connect my iPod to the stereo using the standard fitment aux port in the dash, under the toggle switches?

I have a 3mm (?) wire jack thingy that I got with my Pod, but it doesn't seem to do the trick?!

Am I being thick??

You need a male-to-male wire to plug into the aux jack and your iPod headphone jack.
It will have the same end that your earbuds/headphones wire has on both ends.
Try to find a good quality wire at a stereo store or order one online.
They're often referred to as "mini audio plugs".
A cheap wire will result in sound distruptions and/or difficulty with your connection.

NewMINIStuff.com should do the trick

3.5mm Stereo Jack to 3.5mm Stereo Jack lead is what you need, as commonly used for computers to connect to external speakers etc.

Logic 3 cable fits bottom of ipod connector and into Aux in car, some people forget to press the Audio buttom and move to AUX setting and select. I had 3.5 to 3.5 cable and was not pleased mine winds back in its sely very handy

BMW sell one for £12 that has an aux fitment one end and the other is plugs into where your ipod charger fits as opposed to where your headphones go, much better fit as I found that I got crackling with a male to male lead if the ipod was knocked.

Hope this helps.
