A lot of stereos have a type of proprietary AUX jack on the back
which they sell [jack] to 3.5mm leads for. Have a look around online.

Help on B3ta shocker.

Would that carry the song info to the stereo display?

No, 3.5mms are audio only.
You'd need to use the iPod jack on the bottom for that. You might get lucky, if your factory stereo's been designed for it.

Even I know that's a no.

My old one
had twin phono sockets, so same principle, but you need a 3.5mm jack to twin phono cable instead.

Also you need to drill a hole somewhere to get the jack end of the cable through to the front so can plug your ipod in.

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, I'd probably drill through the brake lines

I'd be astounded if you managed that
by drilling into your dashboard.

On mine, I could take a fixing screw out from my glovebox, which gave me enough room (stereo out) to get the cable through into the cabin.

It's not hard, honestly.

But he'd need a six foot long metalworking bit.
You just don't get those in Homebase.

I might have to go round to his house to see this happen. It's the sort of thing you can tell your grandkids.

That's my face melted sad when I've crashed because you wanted a story for your grandkids.

If it's any comfort
there'd be a very real possibility that I'd die laughing.
