Default IPOD + Navigation Monsoon in GXP...what's the best way...

Hi all.
I have been to several stores and everyone says that the only way to play the IPOD through the factory speakers is with a hard wired FM modulator. I ran a couple of searches and came up with connectors ranging from $27 to $188, none of which seemed all that specific to me. Has anyone else solved this conondrum or am I just destined to ride around in my GXP with headphones on?

Thanks,
BJ

Big reason why I got the Imp over the GXP.

lots of aftermarket cd players have an auxiliary input on the back. if you were going to go that route sooner or later just get a cable with red/white rca cables on one end and a 3.5mm connector on the other. then you just plug your ipod in when you use it or hide them if not.

if you didnt want to change a whole lot, an fm modulator is cheap and can be hidden quite well. the iriver works quite slick and looks nice too.
