Default 2007 Ranger Input for ipod

Hi everyone, I need some help. I just bought a new 2007 Ford Ranger and I would like to connect my ipod to the audio system. The Head Unit has a button called "MEDIA" and I was wondering if this is supposed to be like an Auxilliary for an input at the back of the unit. If so, can I buy anything that will allow me to connect my ipod to the unit?

Thanks

Default input for ipod

The manual says nothing about the media button and yeah, I know about the MP3 cds, I just didn't want to have to go through the trouble of burning a bunch of cds and my ipod is now basically useless cuz I only used to listen in the truck. My last truck had an auxilliary right in the front of the HU.

The Mazda BT50's have a lead available as a accessory that comes out somewhere in the glovebox for MP3 players. Ford should be no different.

Thanks ms700, I checked out the BT50 and it seems to have the same HU so I guess the accessory will be the same. I will check to see if I can find one. Thanks a lot.
