What are the inputs on your car system?
Unless you tell us what type of inputs your car has it is very difficult to say which cable is required.
Does it have a Composite or Component RCA inputs?

There are 2 cables that will probably do the job to connect the iPad to the car they are:

or

I suspect it will be the first cable (Composite), which includes a Yellow RCA cable for the video, red and white RCA cables for the sound and a USB power cable to a dock connector.
