I have an 02 S2000 and I bought the $60 cable from Crutchfield that plugs a 3.5mm jack into the CD changer port of the OEM headunit. It doesn't charge the Ipod, but it gives CD quality audio.

One thing I would suggest is that you throw away the ear buds that come with either and get a decent set of headphones.
He suggested that anything over fifteen minutes at full volume with ear buds is enough to cause potential hearing damage.
My suggestion for those that spend alot of time on planes is to get a pair of noise cancelling headphones. I have the ones from Koss. If I had it to do over again, I would get the over ear model from Bose.

I got a 40GB iPod two years ago. I have ~2900 songs on it. Many of these were ripped from my own CD's, some from CD's from the public library. I also bought a few hundred songs from the iTunes store. I was so worried that I might lose my music due to hard drive failure, that I recently bought an external hard drive (a 500 GB monster), to back up all my photos and music.
I connect the iPod via the Alpine iPod connector in the S2000. For my Accord, I recently bought a new headunit with auxiliary input. Both setups give me superior sound and is more convenient than playing mp3 files on CDs.

I have the 60 Gig ipod which is great.
my son has the 4 gig nano.
The +1 has a direct jack for audio in the glove box of her S-class.
last week I finally plugged the ipod in, in her car with her.
This week a nano appeared on her christmas list.

I have a 20 GB I-Pod that I have had for about two years. The only regret that I have is that there is NO interface to the head unit for the 2003 S's stock radio. If there where it would plug into where the CD changer unit would plug in to the head unit and display the I-Pod like a CD with all of my playlists, etc.
I have made do with a Monster FM modulator/charger that I can tune to an unused FM frequency and transmit from the I-Pod to the FM antenae while at the same time charging the I-Pod. I have 4140 files on it (17.93 GB) that translates to 12.3 days (295.2 hours) of listening, and never hearing the same tune twice. It is great on road trips.
In the Infiniti, which has a Bose AM/FM/CD/Cassette system I use the Monster to power the I-Pod and a Cassette adapter to listen. The quality is better than broadcasting to the FM side of the antenae (which at best is FM quality, not close to digital quality).
One word of advice. make certain that you have enough room on your hard drive to store your music and manipulate your play lists after the fact as I-Tunes needs the files on the C drive to do that.
If you like music you will love an I-Pod.

I've got a USA Spec adapter from Crutchfield. Crutchfield's website lists it incorrectly as not working with the OEM stereo. It's the same unit that works with 98-02 Accords and 01-05 Civics.
They plug into the changer port on the back of the OEM radio. You can't use the OEM accessory changer with one.
