you need a 3.5 mm stereo cord (try Radio Shack or something) to connect between the aux input and the iPod headphone jack.

Connecting through the headphone jack will require you to adjust the iPod volume and the stereo volume to find the desired sound. Further, this board is where I discovered that you can adjust the gain on the Aux input using the radio preset buttons on the head unit.

If you use an aftermarket charger like the Belkin cable, you can connect your stereo cable between the Belkin cable and the Aux input. That way you use the iPod's dock connection to send the signal to the Aux input and not the headphone jack. I think you would get better sound that way (and you will disable the volume adjustment on the iPod). If nothing else this will save your ears when you put the headphones back in for personal use (since the volume will probably be very high if you used the headphone jack to connect to the Aux input)
