    Get a aux cable (make sure you buy a stereo aux cable and not mono) to connect to where you put earphones in the ipod then plug the other end into the aux connection on the cars stereo.
    Im pretty sure a vz would have an aux connection on its factory stereo, and if you have an aftermarket stereo then there definately will be.

    While the iPod touch does have bluetooth (which the Nokia CK100 uses to connect to mobile devices), I'm not sure as to whether its possible to connect it to a phone kit. Your best choices for connecting your iPod to your car are either:

    - Plug an FM modulator into your iPod (cheapest and easiest option, requires NO modification to your car whatsoever, but also the worst sound quality)
    - Have an AUX input installed in your factory head unit by Phreddy (ASR Audio)
    - Remove the factory head unit and install an aftermarket head unit

    -Auxillery input, like a headphone jack but into your car.
    - Radio Transmitter, cheap, easy but crap quality
    -New Head Unit, i got myself a nice pioneer headunit with a usb connecter and ipod integration so name, artists and albums, you name it comes up on the screen along with great quality music, much better than a aux cable. My head unit cost about 250 bucks and about 40 to install with a facia kit.

    If you want to maintain the factory look of the car, plus have full control via your steering wheel and HU Clicky I have installed a couple and I think they work a treat plus well worth the money.. The designer has also managed to sort out the VE as well.
    Cheers,
