Ipod Shuffle adapter cord?

I received for Christmas an Ipod Shuffle. I'd like to listen to it through my stereo in my car. There is an input jack inside my console. I found an adapter cord that fits into the jack and also the Shuffle but I have to turn the volume up really, really high just to get a faint amount of sound. Could it be a bad cable or is there another way to hook up the Ipod?

Check the radio control when in the Aux mode.
My '07 E92 "Professional" radio has a separate volume control for the radio when in Aux. When I first plugged in my ipod I wasn't getting much volume. I made sure my ipod was turned up all the way and it still wasn't what I expected. Then I find the setting on the radio for Aux volume. Much, much better now. Check your manual if you can't find it quickly on your own.
Good luck!

Thanks. That solved it.
