Any Ford Focus owners?

Hi folks

I'd like to be able to listen to tracks on my iPod Touch by plugging the unit into my car stereo. Woe betide me for thinking this was a simple wish! I drive a Focus '53 model.

So far I have two possible avenues (I think). The first is an adapter plug that goes into the 6CD changer socket on the stereo, and gives me a 3.5mm socket. Similar to this:

The problem is I have no idea what kind of connector the Ford stereo has on it. Can anyone help there?

My second option is considerably pricier and I am not sure if it is compatible.

The Dension ice > Link Gateway 100 (http://www.ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk/iPod_Car_Kit/For_Factory_Fitted_Radios/Ford_iPod_Car_Kit/Desion_Ford_Gateway_100_Ipod_Car_Kit/Ford_ice%3ELink_Gateway_100/Compatibility) seems to be compatible with my car but not with the Touch!

If anyone has any knowledge or experience of this, I'd be very grateful for any advice.

I've got a Podgear Cardock FM transmitter - The same as this..

It sits nicely in my lighter socket in the 2000 Focus and works perfectly with my old iPod mini and my new Touch.

You don't get any hassle with interference?

I've been offered a lift in the Feekmobile a few times now and I can't say I noticed any major problems with the iPod. Given the plethora of radio hardware that was in there at the time that's praise indeed. :)

From what to what?

I get the odd burst of breakthrough if my 50 watt VHF wireless goes into transmit if I'm listening to a weak broadcast station but that's about it and I'm sure that's not what you mean!

I've found a frequency that's clear for my journey to and from work, I sometimes need to retune the transmitter if I head off around the country and go into an area where there's a strong signal on the frequency I've chosen for the Podgear thing (94.0MHz) but apart from that, I've never had any problems with it.
