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.

I installed an auxiliary input in my 2004 TJ. The key is your radio must
have the CD changer jack on the back of the radio. The hardest part was
trying to plug the cable into the back of the radio without removing the
radio. I could not figure out how to remove the radio so I removed the
glove box door and the lower dash panel to the left of the radio and
reached behind the radio from each side and stabbed the cable into the
jack. It was not easy but the aux. input works great for my Palm T5
playing MP3's.

Back in the day when CDs were new, I had an FM modulator that wired in
between the antenna and the radio. It worked really well compared with
the FM trasmitter types. I think you can find them today for DVD players.

Re: Aux. Input for Radio
I looked into one of those for my Jeep because I really hate having the
wire from that cassette adapter hanging out of the dash. The guys at
Circuit City said the cassette adapters work a lot better and the FM
adapters tend to introduce a LOT of noise, and these were the kind that
wire in.
I believe him, he talked me out of a sale.
However when we talked further and he found out what radio I had (a nice
old Pioneer), he found an adapter that connects to a square port in the
back of the radio that adds a couple of RCA jacks. Works great, but it
doesn't really help Mark because he has a factory radio.
