Aux. Input for Radio
 

Looking for a way to install an AUX. Input into the Stock radio of a 97
TJ Wrangler. No, I don't want to use a FM modulator. (Cheesy, piece of
crap)

Can it be done?
What type of toggle would I need?
Do I have to get the toggle from the dealership, or would a parts store
have it??
Can it only be done with an aftermarket deck?

Re: Aux. Input for Radio
 

Possible but not worth doing. You would have to rip the radio apart and
find where the tuner output is connected to the amplifier. It is probably
part of a printed circuit board too. Then wire in another circuit to feed
both channels of stereo from your AUX device. The good news is that you
don't really need a toggle. A stereo mini-plug serves for this.

You would have to open up the radio and install the electronics for an
input circuit. It can be done, but it is difficult. You basically
would have to re-design the radio.

Re: Aux. Input for Radio
 

If you have a tape deck, you can buy an adapter that converts a mini
jack to a tape. Works will most MP3, CD, Ipods and laptops.

I have one and it works great.
