Default IPOD HOOKUP

I just recently purchased a '00 Audi A4 1.8T. I want to connect my ipod mini to my stereo. I purchased something that plugs into the cd changer port. unfrotunately i couldnt see any of the text on the car display and the display on the ipod shows the logo for the company. so i have no control of the ipod other than just pushing next on the car stereo. I returned that item and i was wondering what else i could do to connect my ipod to my stereo. I dont want to change the headunit because i like the stock look of it. Fm modulators sound like crap as does tape adapters. are there any other options?

What is this product called, and where can you get it? How much? What if I just have a single disc (no cd changer)?

have never seen anything confirming this...
but the similaritys between the "MP3youcar.com" website and apple's website are so obvious i can't help but to think that they are at least SOME WHAT affiliated with each other..
... hence i would recommend "www.MP3YourCar.com"

i've never heard a bad thing about ice-link, but i just feel better with something that very well may have apple's "nod of approval"

Cool found it.

I wonder how much they'd install it for because I suck at that electrical stuff and I don't want random wires or cables to be visible.
