Can I play my ipod through my car radio by using the jack on the face of the radio?

I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Nano and a 2005 Nissan Sentra with a jack on the radio.

The jack has the diameter of a standard headset jack...I'm not sure what it's for?

Does Apple make an accessory that allows a connection between the ipod and the car stereo through the described jack?

Thanks for the responses. Please link me to the product if there is one.

Also - I'm aware of the FM transmitter option.

    In most cases the jack on the front of a car stereo is an auxillary input. Yes it is for your iPod. Go to Radio Shack (or any place that sells audio accessories) and buy a cable with 2 stereo 3.5mm jacks (looks like a mini headphone plug) on each end.

    yes a 3.5mm wire can connet from your ipod nano directly to your cd headunit
