Aux Audio Jack

Aux Audio Jack
I have an ipod, can I just plug that into the audio jack and hear it through the radio? Or did I have to get the Trip Tunes Advanced? What is that anyways?
TIA

Yes, you can plug directly into that jack and listen to your iPod (Assuming you have an '07 and you're talking about the jack in the center console). You won't be able to see your songs thru the radio, but just keep the ipod out of the console, or setup a playlist.

where exactly is the aux jack located and does it come standard with an 07 v6 premium? also, what does it plug into? the iPod itself? and this will transmit my iPod music through the radio frequencies right? so is there no point in getting advanced trip tunes or itrip or other type of FM transmitter? I'm confused. thanks

Also you're going to need to buy a audio cable to connect your ipod to the aux jack, prolly pick one up at Radio Shack or simmilar.

You just need one of the aforementioned cables. Fortunately for my car, I replaced the whole unit, and got a box, for a CD changer hookup, if I wanted it later, well I eventually bought the Kenwood iPod adaptor that hooks into the port, not the headphone jack. It also charges the iPod, and the sound is immaculate!

Seems like a lot of trouble to go through. Why not just get one on those new stereos with the flash memory card slot. No CD changer, no Ipod/MP3 player, no moving parts!
Here's a link to my tread that I started in the Audio forum.

The adapter won't work with you factory radio. He's talking about hook one up to his aftermarket radio.
For what you want, the 3.5" cable is fine. Sound is CD quality or better. The only way to get better sound is with trip tunes advanced, so it's using the data port from the iPod, but that's about $250.

Much better sound quality than through the headphone jack, volume is constant (meaning you don't have to mess with the volume on the ipod - just on the car stereo), and works with the aux jack in the console.
