iPod Nano to Car Speakers

I have a white 2 GB iPod Nano 1st Generation and I want to be able to play my iPod through my car speakers. I already have the USB cable and the car charger, can i just plug the cable & the charger into my car and then turn off my radio and press play...or do i need to by one of those FM Radio iPod converters for a car in order for me to play my iPod in my car?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.10), 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, 160 GB 5400-rpm hard drive

Either that or an expensive retrofit. My last car had a lousy radio so I bought a Sony that had an aux port. There are also some really expensive models that have iPod ports. Another option for some cars is an expensive device that adds an auxilliary input to your factory radio but there can be downsides. For me I have a choice of losing my XM radio or losing audible warnings. And then there's the FM transmitters. I bought a Kensington digital and am mostly happy with it. I say mostly because in some areas there is no free frequency so the iPod is unusable.
