Default Ipod hook-up

I'm lookin for some ideas on how to hook up my ipod to my factory radio in my 98 f150, its got the 6 cd changer that I'd like to keep, I've got one of the wireless fm transmitters, which works but the sound quality isn't that good... any ideas would be great..

thanks much

What would be cool is if you could somehow switch the cassette button to an aux button an wire in a port. Not sure how to do it but maybe an idea ?

thats kinda what I'd like to do, wire in a aux port in the dash but I'm not sure what kind of device to hook up to the radio...

maybe a trip to the local audio shop tomorrow and see what they have

Ya do that and try to get some feedback from people who know a little more in this area. I kinda want to do this also as I use a fm transmitter too and want a direct connection and don't wanna spring for the new deck.

I figured the aux port was possible but I was told at the stereo shop I couldn't reuse my changer
