I hate maplin, they do what pc world do and charge you for not really knowing what you're after.
you want a "3.5mm to 3.5mm" jack lead... i've put links below.

Ipods have good enough batteries to not need charging anyway, especially if you have a dock in the house. In the car you only use the same power as you would in the house.

you'll have to tick cables, or scroll through a few pages to get to the leads on the maplin link, but you can hopefully see the price differences.

Some monitors come with these cables if they have speakers fitted. (if you bought an appropriate monitor you might already have a lead, I did !

Thank you very much. Very helpful I'll have a look at those sites and get a reasonable priced one great tip.
