My 2001 V70XC has a cassette deck and Sony and Radio Shack both sell an adapter so you can play the iPod through a cassette player. It works just fine. I have been using it with my iPod for 3 years.
Generally there are two methods to do that (it works with any portable music device that has a headphone jack).
The first is to use a casette adaptor. This looks like a casette tape but has a cord coming off of it. Just put it in to play as a normal casette and plug the cord into the player. These are self powered (no batteries). See

Maplin sells the cassette adapter

Volvo seems to ignore this wanted feature. BMW has a build in feature to support the iPod. Volvo is probably to anxious to offer such a nowaday option. The iPod is a worldwide very succesful mp3 player. Volvo knows about the issue, but just doesn't seem to put any effort in developing a interface (or whatever) to use the iPod in a Volvo. Just an aux in would do, but no....
