Default New car. How do i add an audio connector?

Hey everybody, topic says it all really. Bought my first car on friday (Peugeot 206) and i want to hook my ipod up to the sound system in it. I'm trying to figure out if/how i can add something like this:
RCA to 3.5mm Aux-In Link | Dension ice>Link Plus iPod Car Kit | iPod Car Kit Direct
To this:



I figured someone here must know.
Before you say it, i've googled lots with no success. I'm a car noob though so i might be searching for the wrong thing.

there's also something called an iTrip, which plugs into your iPod and transmits a radio frequency so your stereo picks it up - i'm not sure how good they are though, although i could do with finding out as my spare cd's keep rattling and its driving me mad!

Yeah, i've got something like that, but it's not great in town with all the other stations interfering with it and it relies on batteries. If i can't figure out a hardwired solution i'll probably use one of those.

I eventually decided to just suck it up and get a new radio with an auxiliary input. I think that might be the only way to do it.
This one has an ipod connection too.
