Thanks for the welcomes and $94 latter (including sales tax and shipping, shipping was pricey but I did not want to drive a hour and a half just to pick up the cord) I was able to get a cord from MINI that was compatible with my stereo (it was a two prong type USB and Audio Jack at the MINI end and stander-ed connector at the Ipod end) Thanks for all the advice I would have never know to even look for it.
I'm very glad to have that working as most of the radio stations around my neck of the woods have a slightly limited play list and don't play all the songs that I like.

Welcome Aboard!
I started using the MINI supplied cord and it was fine. When I tried using the Apple cord one time, I got an error message, so now I only use only the MINI cord and haven't had any problems with that one.- Like x 1

I'm no electronics expert. I just know that when I tried the Apple cord both by itself and in conjunction with an Aux cord (to duplicate the MINI attachment) that no-workie, but the MINI cord works just fine all the time.
Good Luck!- Like x 1
