My car does not have the USB adapter for iPods and whatnot, and I just use the aux jack with a male-male cable to listen to the iPod in the car. The sound quality seems less than ideal. Is there a significant difference between the sound quality you get when running an iPod through a USB adapter as opposed to the DIN aux cable?

I know it's possible to have a stealer retrofit the factory USB adapter, so it might be worth it. Sound quality through my base system is just fine using CD's or the radio, but it leaves a lot on the table when I'm using the iPod. Our 335 with the USB adapter doesn't seem to have this issue.
