iPod to car wire and blank CDs
Two questions in one if you could tell from the title. Since there's similar I thought it would be better putting them together.
First question, I have a 2nd gen iPod nano. I'd like to get a wire that attaches my iPod to my car so I can choose songs on my iPod and listen to them. What cord would be best for this? Any to stay clear of?
I'd also like to buy some blank CDs to burn some songs from my iTunes on it and give to my dad to listen to in his car. Years ago we had some blank CDs I used but they were terrible. They barely worked in my moms GMC. The brand was Maxell CD-R cds. So those are out. What are the best blank CDs to use?

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: iPods and Mp3 Players?
First question:
A male to male "auxiliary" cable. (Looks like the end of a pair of headphones on both ends, with two stripes on each end) Get the cheapest you can find, with a rubbery feel to the cord, rather than hard plastic if you can avoid it, and also avoid flat cables, they tend to break the soonest. Don't bother with the gold-plated ones, it just adds expense, not quality.
Second question:
Try TDK, Sony, or Verbatim. They're all pretty good. Write at 4x or 8x if you can. You'll get more consistent results than higher speeds, where you're get dead disks, or bad bits that skip and stuff like that.
Good luck :)

I only have an iPod touch so I'm not sure what kind of plug an iPod nano has, but you can get a cord that looks like a headphone jack (on both ends) to plug into your stereo in your car that'll work, but your stereo has to have that capability. Otherwise if it has a tape player, there are tapes that gave a cord attached for the same purpose, made for cars with stock stereos. Andd if neither of those work there's an iTrip, it's more on the expensive side and plugs into your charge hole on your iPod and connects to your stereo through the radio. Any of these can be found in electronics in a department store. Like walmart, Fred Meyer, target, etc.
CDs you can find really cheap at a big lots, not sure if you have one of those where you live but otherwise walmart is good and cheap also. Get CD-R and I'm not positive about what brand is best, but I've never had trouble with any before.
Good luck (:
