Can I attach iPod headphone jack to speakers?

Without a radio headunit that has an aux input, no. The ipod will need to be amplified by the radio to get any useable sound from the speakers.

Thanks myfirstyota,

By radio headunit with an auxilliary input do you mean a radio/CD player installed in the car that is connected to the speakers via the factory plug-in wire harness? Or is a headunit something else? I am pretty good with the concepts, but not the latest terminology & technology. The output from the iPod will then plug in to the aux input and will be amplified and sent out the the speakers that came with the car new, correct?

I may install an actual radio/CD player with an input for a digital device such as an iPod. I was looking at some youtube videos and it looks easy to install one. I may temporize with a cheaper solution before I do the radio/CD player though.

Thanks,

R.
