Connecting iPod to stock radio

Connecting iPod to stock radio
My roommate left me his old first gen 20gb iPod (it's a beast). I'm never gonna use it where I go, like in my pocket, so I want to use it in my car. What is the easiest way to connect an iPod to my 02 TL-S?
Can I just bring it to like Best Buy and have them install something to connect it to the stock radio? I DO NOT want to install an aftermarket head unit, because of the Bose system thats already in there of course.

Before you buy any of these units make sure they're compatible witht he first generation ipod, unless you just get a unit that plugs into the headphone jack, like this one:

And in case you didn't know, you don't need to remove the radio to install the blitzsafe. Just remove the passenger side wood panel and then the knee panel. That gives you enough room to reach behind the radio and, with a little patience, connect the blue connector to the back of the radio.

I got the Isimple from best buy and it works great.
Its cheaper than the USA one but still allows you to use your steering wheel controls on the Ipod.

I used it for about 3 weeks before I installed the Kenwood stereo I have now. If you're interested let me know.

Then get a cable like this:

and connect the red/white to the unit, and then the stereo plug goes to your zune's headphone jack.

Yeah, most of the ones mentioned here will work. You need to get a unit like this:
