What leads do I need for Iphone to car

I want to buy a couple of leads to connect Iphone 5 to
  1. BMW 5 2007 car sterio. There's a some sort of connector in consul but not sure what lead I need
  2. Fiesta 2006 original radio - is it even possible?

DD keeps meaning to buy one for her car (the Fiesta) but is distracted with uni work. She keeps telling me to get one for my car too. I would pop out and look in my car but as I have a broken leg not possible and I'm home alone!

Thanks

    For leads you'd probably have to buy official Apple accessories, as it seems they did a software update recently that stopped most unofficial (cheaper) leads working with their devices. Really annoying as now my GF can't connect her camera to her iPhone.

    It all depends on what connector she has, it will either be a 3mm jack plugged into the headphone socket on the phone and 3mm jack into the auxillary socket in the car. Or a standard iphone lead plugged into the usb socket in the car.
