iPod Car Adapter Help
First, please don't yell at me. It's probably there and very simple, but I couldn't find it ... it's all a bit overwhelming to me.
I have a 2003 G35 Sports Coupe with 6 speed manual transmission. And an iPod. My Bose sound system has 4 auxiliary buttons (disc, tape, AM/FM & sat). I'm using the first 3 but don't plan to get satellite radio, so I believe that auxiliary port is just sitting there, waiting.
Is there any kind of adapter that can use this unused auxiliary port so I can run my iPod music through the car stereo?
I've been to every car audio store in town and was told this can't be done without cutting into wires and drilling holes for rocker switches, neither of which is very appetizing. The FM solution doesn't work at all in the area I live ... too many radio stations for starters.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. And TIA.

Thank you, Beta99. The thread led me to the USASpec PA11-NIS which a lot of people seem to think does the trick. I've printed out the tech specs & am taking them to a local installer (the same ones who said there wasn't anything available ... depending on what they say, I may extend my search range to include the whole Bay Area).
Do you happen to know if this model will work for a 2003 ... all the literature says the PA10-NIS is the only one available for that year, but the threads here seem to think the PA11-NIS is the best choice.
el_duderino, you're right, the info (a lot of info) was all there but there were so many options, I thought someone could point me in a more specific direction. But I take your point.
