[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 853094, member: 55399"] What OEM radio do you have? The one cassette/single CD unit? If so, your best option would be an in-line FM modulator. That's what I did, and it works better than an over-the-air FM modulator. Granted, it's not as good as real Aux input, but it's the best you're gonna get with an OEM radio that doesn't have any aux inputs. Here are a few pictures of my setup: FM Modulator (I know, the wires are a mess, but they're covered by the console):D [b][Broken External Image][/b]: I bought a 30-pin connector cable on eBay that plugs into the iPod and has both power out and RCAs for audio. The RCA's go to the FM modulator, and the power wires are connected to a 12VDC constant to power/charge the iPod. I ran the modulator power through a simple toggle switch mounted on the radio bezel. You'll want this if you listen to AM, because the modulator buzzes on the AM band when it's on. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [/QUOTE]
