Ipod hookup question

I just bought an 04' Eddie Buaer and it has the dvd/tv screen in it. Is there anyway to hook up an Ipod and still keep the factory stereo?

You inputs would be greatly appreciated

I forgot to add in my thread. Other than an FM transmitter, is there an alternative way to hook the IPOD to the stock stereo or using any of the connections of the rear entertainment unit?

i tried the modulators. never happy with them. i now have a device that is hard wired to the antenna cable. it has a male antenna cable that plugs into the radio. you plug the old antenna cable into the female jack on the unit. (you need to pull the radio out). it works off of one of the low end fm stations. 88.8 i think, you have 2 choices. both worked in l.a. i use a pre-set on the radio. turn on the ipod, turn to that station. bought it at a auto sound store. i think about $30. works and sounds great. you will need a standard stereo rca jack to mini-din cable. get them anywhere. radio shack etc. you can also use that same cable to plug into the aux inputs of the dvd player. easier, but not as clean.

I use the aux input on the dvd unit. Works great!
