Doubts about AUX Cable

Hi all!
I purchased a used 2007 987 Boxster recently which came with an AUX cable from the CDR-24 unit. I never bothered to ask the previous owner about how the AUX cable worked since I assumed I just need to plug in my iPod and listen to the music. Turns out it's not as easy as that. I don't know if a FM modulator is installed or a Dension (I assume these are the only two options available). Any suggestions how to determine which one is used and how to get the AUX cable working ? Thank a ton for all suggestions and help!

P.S.: I have the basic sound sytem (Not sound plus or Bose installed)

Thanks for the reply Tony. I was just wondering how to access the AUX input from the stereo system ?

hmm. I have a 981 so the aux-in jack is in the glove box. I'm not sure where that is located in a 987.

Tony, the 987 comes with a CDR-24 unit that does not have a AUX input. And hence there are workarounds to get an AUX connection. Since I inherited my Boxster from a previous owner, I dunno what workaround he has used and hence I dunno how to use the AUX cable to listen to music on my iPod. I already have an Aux cable 'somehow' hooked on the Boxster's default head unit, the CDR-24
