^ you have several options. namely, do you want powered or non-powered and do you want one for only iPods or for iPods/iPhones.
if you just want a powered iPod one it'll look like this. a non-powered version looks the same less the small red live wire and black ground wire.
if you need one to work for a iPod and iPhone, it'll look like this. note the yellow video wire - you need this cable for the iPhone even if you do NOT plan to connect the video wire...just tape off the yellow RCA wire and leave it unplugged. again, a non-powered version will look the same less the small red and black wire.
i've purchased one from both of these ebay vendors for $10-$20 plus shipping and would recommend either - they both sell the cables mentioned above:
Exclusive Parts HK
12 Volt Parts

Get a USA Spec. - Yes, it does not work with an XM/Sirius Sat radio. You will need to decide which one to keep. SAT or iPod? Not both!!
- Bluetooth works fine.
- when you set the USA Spec as a Direct mode, you can control the iPod from wheel, radio control (up & down) or iPod itself.
- Your iPod is automatically charged when it plays
- No other cable connection is needed to connect your iPod. (if you need to use iPhone/iTouch, then you will need to get the adapter at Apple ~$25.
- You also have an additional Audio Input for DVD player, Game console, etc.
It's easy to install. It took me about 30 minutes to install it myself.

you don't need to take the "whole dash apart" by any means. did you read my how-to? 3 or 4 simple snap-off pieces immediately surrounding the headunit, remove the 4 screws holding the hu in and pull it out.
mine took 30 min or less as well.

it's normal (or pretty close to normal) with the PAC unit and an RCA to Dock Cable. more noticeable of a difference using their included RCA to 3.5mm headphone cable.

^ depends. from my understanding the Nissan and USA Spec both don't work with early 03 models (production date before 09/02) as they are not satellite capable. remember, all these devices tap into your SAT harness - so you've got to have SAT capability.
if your 03 is SAT capable then you should be fine with either.
