Default connecting the zune to the impala

i recently purchased an 04 impala. everything about the car is awesome except it does not have an aux interface so that I can connect my zune into the stereo. after a few days of doing research and making a trip to best buy and my local car audio shops, I came to the conclusion the best way to get this done is to purchase an auxiliary adapter that plugs into the back of the factory radio. i found this cable on cruntchfield.com ( http://www.crutchfield.com/p_469GM12...&ssi=0&tp=1672 ). Does anyone have experience with this? Is this the best way to achieve the best quality sound possible or am I better off replacing the factory radio itself with one that has an aux input?


p.s. there is a similar aux adapter on ebay that seems to accomplish the same thing but costs twice as much. is it any better? ( http://cgi.ebay.com/CHEVY-IMPALA-03-...item483a73f064 )


p.s unlike some ipod integrations in which you can control the ipod directly from the radio, i don't think such an option is available for the zune and I personally don't mind controlling the zune itself directly
