Can I plug latest iPod Shuffle into car auxiliary? (link included)

Can someone tell me if the latest iPod Shuffle use this cable/plug to connect to truck's stereo?

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-usb-cable?mco=NDI 3MzgwMQ#overview

I have a regular auxiliary cable that I use for my iPad to connect to the stereo in my truck, but it has 2 male ends.

I haven't seen the new iPod Shuffles up close, and am not sure if the cable in the above link will work. Called Apple, and they weren't sure, either.

Thanks.

It should work, depending on the truck

Well, I can use a dynex auxiliary cable to plug my iPad into the truck stereo. truck is 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 1500. But I don't want to purchase the shuffle if I won't know it will work. Apple couldn't even tell me!

thanks, anyway 🙂

I'm not so sure it will work: have you seen the newest iPod shuffles? I haven't seen them in person, only via Apple.Com . Those little shuffles are small. When I look at the cable that I use with the iPad, it looks wider than the Shuffle! I appreciate your time, though.

I really need to hear from someone who actually HAS one....and uses an aux. ... or someone who can tell me definitively, if it will work or not. 🙂

I have the newest iPod Shuffle, the iPad has 2 ports a Lightning connector which is used to charge and sync the iPad and a headphone jack, the iPod Shuffle only has a headphone jack, but the Shuffle can be charged or synced using the headphone jack, i do have audio equitment that have aux jacks, they do work with Shuffles
