Re: Aux. Input for Radio
 

I also have one for our CD. It works well. That way we can have a
'sport' CD that never skips in our CJ7. The cassette tape drive is
garbage due to all the dust, but it works well for the adapter.

Re: Aux. Input for Radio
 

does your radio have changer controls? if so, then there are a few
products to allow your to tap into the changer line. these have become
especially popular for the satelite radio crowd.

something like this:
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piechryaux.html

thats is the 1st google hit, i'm not endosing this product or seller.

you COULD hack it yourself, but there is fairly little data on how.
the problem isn't getting audio into the thing, it is getting the head
unit to think you have a changer so it goes into the mode where it
takes signal from the changer line.

if you already have a changer, then you can put a toggle (radioshack
should have one that will work for a <$5) in the audio line to swtich
which audio goes to the head unit. that is the easiest case.

if you are thinking about buying one of the above adapters, i would
suggest just getting a new head unit. for ~$100 you can get something
with OK power (better than stock) and at least 1 or 2 aux's.

Re: Aux. Input for Radio
 

If you have any clue about the internal circuitry of the stock radio, you
could splice in Aux Inputs.

No, the stealership will NOT have the parts needed for such a project. Can
you say, customized?

An after market deck with them already built in would be the easiest way to
do this. I assume you're trying to add in an XM receiver, or Sirius. I use
my XM with the XM cigarette lighter power supply/FM modulator, and my radio
accepts this solution very well. My modulator even seems able to overpower
the FM station that sometimes comes in on the channel I selected. I also
used the cassette adaptor, and it worked really well too. My brother has the
XM SkiFi that wires in to the radio through the antenna wire. This system
costs more that the Roady that I use, but it works way, that's W-A-Y,
better. And, no new head unit is required.
