Dealer Options For Connecting Ipod To 2008 Factory Radio? Options

[fiveolddogs]

I recently purchased a 2008 Endeavor from a Mitsubishi dealership. At the time, they promised to add a connection to the factory radio for my ipod. The sales guy told me there were two options. Option one is an ipod-specific connection which plugs into the bottom port of the ipod. He said the downside of this was that it would essentially turn my 80 gig ipod into a giant ipod shuffle. He recoemmended to me option two, basically an aux in allowing me to plug into the headphone port of any mp3 device. Once I made up my mind, I was to call in and schedule the service appointment.

When I called in, I was told that option 2 did not exist for my radio (I have the non-infinity basic single disc radio). He claims there is no was to add an aux in, and I will have to go with the ipod shuffle option. This sounds terrible to me.

I'm looking for for confirmation here from the group that what he's telling me is correct. I'm hoping it's not. Any comments on the ipod shuffle option would also be appreciated.
