Here's a good thread. Some of these options are very good.

For a simple connection you can go to Radio Shack and just get a male to male 1/8" stereo connector.

try tandy electronics? (thats in australia, not sure about baltimore)

or any electrical/computer/hi-fi store should have it

inside the center arm rest should be where the aux plug is located.

edit: o, you are looking to buy the wire?? radio shack, fry electonic, target. pretty much eveyone have them.

Two words: Best Buy.

The best solution (quality) is to use the Belkin Auto Kit for iPod w/ Dock Connector # F8V7058-APL-BLK (black version) and get a short male-male stereo audio mini-jack (Radio Shack). I wouldn't use the headphone port on the iPod... poor quality and you always have to play with the iPod volume. Plus, the Belkin Connector has a built-in pre-amp for additional volume.

This works great!

I was about to buy the Airclick thing until I realized that damn remote is bigger than the Nano itself.

The above setup looks like this!

i don't think they have a nano specific version yet, but the original version should work too. Remember, any attachment that works in the "dock port" of one ipod model has to work the same on all the others.

How much is that set-up?

I was thinking about getting it but after reading around on a few sites it seems like there is concern with the battery. Do Belkin products really ruin the iPod battery?

the airclick doesnt go through the dock though, at least mine doesnt. it plugs through the headphone jack and theres another little plug thing that it goes into..

Rinalds:

The Belkin F8V7058-APL-BLK is $39 and the audio cable from Radio Shack is about $3.00. I've never heard of the "battery" issue, but this setup works great and sounds as good as CD's.

You can get a used Belkin on Fleabay for about $10 delivered.

I have been using the Belkin charger for nearly three years with no problem.
