aux port in the arm rest? Just plug it in and change the radio to aux, you dont get to control the ipod unless you have the ipod connection.

get yourself over to babybmw.net • Index page for more advice

Use the cable with a multi-pin connector on one end and a 3.5mm stereo jack on the other, rather than a 3.5 to 3.5mm cable, the sound quality is much improved (although the standard business HU and speakers are pretty woeful anyway).

BTW, it's BOUGHT, not BROUGHT... [/pedant]

Seconded.
Got ours off ebay for a couple of quid.
Surprisingly good quality, they've withstood child use for ages.
