I have read a couple of ways to do it
Connect using a cable via AUX input port. The other way is to use a FM transmitter and tune you stereo into this. Where can you buy these things in Taiwan?
Thing is in my car, there is an AUX input port for a RJ 45 cable (phone) so you can go handsfree and an AUX function on teh car stereo. I wonder is it possible to use this port for connecting my IPOD, and purchase a RJ45 to audio jack cable
Else is there another way to do it.

Very good option.
Plenty of places, but they’re crap and you’re mad to do that if you have aux inputs.
Sounds like a simple way to do it, which should give you a great sound too. I’m a little confused by your explanation though. You have two separate options here? One in the “car” for a phone and one on the car stereo?

One in the car, between the two front seats in the arm rest. It’s a RJ 45 that feeds into the stereo AUX input. Therefore would need to connect between audio out (headphones connector) on IPOD and into RJ 45 female connector. Is there such a thing as a audio jack to RJ45 cable?
Not sure would this input (which is supposed to be used for mobile phone) serve as a conduit for my IPOD audio out

One single RJ-45 would only give you mono. You might have to go with the stereo input on the car stereo.
But certainly, these 3.5 mm audio jack to RJ-45 cables are easy to find (stereo ones with 2 x RJ-45 plugs at least).
fwiw, i saw a cassette-ipod adapter in the ipod store. does anyone even have a tape deck in their car anymore? i was more wondering how the thing would work.
i used to do that before i got a headunit with aux jack
the sound is ok but you get a hissing sound because of the way the info is translated onto the tape deck its probably the easiest and cheapest way to go… i wouldn’t do FM transmitter here because they are not that great to begin with and seems there might be alot of intereference in taiwan
