You can get a new CD player for your car (in dash) that has an aux in jack in the front. I think a couple of XM receivers have them too.
Here's an example of one (I'm not endorsing this particular one, it was just the first one that popped up when I searched on crutchfield.com):

what i got so far...
http://www.dehon.org/antoine/MP3…it uses the setup for the cd changer... unfortunately i already have one installed, but i'd gladly disconnect to be able to plug my ipod in directly to the stereo.
i'm going to bring it by a specialty shop tomorrow and get the goods on what it will really take.

did not expect it would be THAT simple...

crutchfield sells a converter that hooks into the your cdchanger controller on teh deck - so rather than control a cd changer you have an aux input... its a little box, but you can usually find someplace inconspicuous to mount it.

After about six omonths of searching and waiting I got an aux jack for my factory Honda Accord radio/cd player from this place:

well after visiting bestbuy, tweeter, and calling crutchfield, it looks like it's pretty much impossible with the stock VW Monsoon system. Tweeter and BestBuy recommended i get the FM modulator. $145 installed, but i get to keep my cd changer's functionality (which the ghetto adapter i mentioned earlier would eliminate). now i just need to figure out if it's really worth the cash for a little better sound.
