Need advance on using PIR #555-28027 to activate iPOD

I am new to circuit design using PIR sensors. Is there a simple circuit I could use to interface the PIR to trigger an iPOD. Basically what I would like to do is have the sensor mounted on a car and have it acitivate the iPOD or some other device with voice recorded commands. Sort of like the "stand back" command heard with the Dodge Viper years ago. This idea is going to be used for a car that is to be entered in a carshow. I am open for ideas.

    EFX-TEK makes the AP-16+ which is a .WAV file player with a built-in stereo amplifier that can be triggered by a PIR sensor. Look at EFX-TEK's website for details.

    Note in the documentation there that you can directly plug a PIR sensor into the AP-16+ and that will trigger the playing of a sound file. The AP-16+ has built-in adjustable delays pre-sound and post-sound so you can prevent retriggering of the sound too quickly.
