For tracklisting and albums etc, you'll need to use the MDI interface for iPod

 I guessed it was going to be MDI, a lot of money for just getting the albums and tracklistings. Do you no the best place to get one fairly cheap?

I dont have a cd changer or a slot for it in my arm rest, could this fit into my glove box? as i want to keep my arm rest the way it is.

That one won't fit in your glovebox, though you can remove it from the armrest cradle

To add the arm-rest holder for MDI is about 50 quid in parts btw so you could put it there
