Best way to use IPOD in Car

I just bought a car that has an auxiliary output so that I could connect my IPOD and listen to its playlist while I drive. I have a pretty old IPOD (the kind that doesn't even have a color screen!) and I was wondering what type of equipment is out there (if any) through which I could connect it through the aux output.

Right now I am looking at the Griffin TuneFlex AUX for IPOD:

But am not certain that it would work with my old IPOD.

Thanks!

You mean an aux input? Is it a simple mini-jack like the headphone jack on the Ipod? If so then all you need is THIS. If you want to charge while you drive then something like the product you linked to would work and so would any compatible car charger.

My car has an input jack in the center console so I just put my MP3 player in there and it works great.
