Confused.. iPod hardwire to 98 Monsoon. I have searched and read through some posts regarding hardwiring an iPod to a 98 Monsoon unit and I'm still confused. What is the best/cost effective way to hardwire my iPod to my Monsoon unit? Can I splice an RCA in there? (I know this wont charge it, obviously charging it would be great but not a nessecity) What are my options.. if you have links to products please dont hesitate to post. (I also have a FM unit for it, but I honestly don't like it too much.

the GM9-AUX unit is $60-100 bucks i think
and there is an iPod2Car that plugs into the GM9-AUX wiring harness
basically the GM9-AUX harness plugs into your CD changer input in the back of your head unit... and then you get either the iPod2Car adapter or the GM9-AUX - to - RCA adapter.
the iPod2Car is over $100.

That's correct - none of those auxiliary or iPod adapters will work with a CD head unit prior to mid-99. They work with all cassette head units but only CD HUs from late-99 or newer models.
Without replacing the head unit your best option is a hard-wired FM modulator. They give much better performance with less interference than the wireless ones. Be sure to get a good one - the cheap ones don't cut off interfering local FM stations.
