l would like to direct connectwith and input if possible?

You can purchase an ipod radio transmitter to play your music from your ipod in your car via your radio. This is what l do, it works fine most of the time. Also, if you have a tape player in your car you can purchase an mp3 tape which is basically a cassette tape with an RCA jack attached which you plug into your ipod.

What no ipod jack!!

Okay, u need to find the MP3 jack first, in lexus cars, it should be in the center storage thing. Then, purchase a dual-plug connector to directly plug it into ur iPod is headphone jack & into ur car is MP3 jack. Consult ur manual to find where the MP3 jack is. Them, go to the Auxilary music mode, or on lexus it is AUX, & turn on ur ipod & play music, though ur speakers in the car need to have their volume turned up. The FM transmitters rarely work well, so do not use those.
