Not as good a sound quality as plugging directly in, but an alternative is to use a Griffin iTrip - & PowerPod if you don't want to rely in the iPod batteries.

Yes, the itrip is a low power transmitter that effectively broadcasts the iPod to a spare FM frequency on the cars radio - only has a range of 10-30ft.

So long as you don't turn the iPod's volume up beyond 66% it works very well - you can turn the radio up as much as you like.
