Ok, the title pretty much says it all. I just bought my wife a Zune 2 to work with her new CX-9. I know I can plug it in, but I am not sure what cord (if any) I need to buy.

I assume that I need a male-to-male type cord to fit into the headphone jack.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
David

You are correct. A 1/8th inch male-male stereo mini plug is all you need.

Like others, I've alos found that if you power the device from the power jack in the arm rest you get a lot of noise in the signal, excessive hiss/static.

Yes you do get feedback sometimes do to a potential differences in vehicle ground points. Simple solution is to buy a $16 dollar ground loop isolator from crutchfield that goes in-line with your 1/8" jack.
