Default AUX hookup?

Was wondering if you could somehow hook up a AUX setup? I hate all the other options besides tape player..which my car doesnt have :/

My car is a 2005 btw.

I believe this is the thing that most folks who have done this have had luck with:

Gateway 500 | iPod car, iPhone car, USB car, Bluetooth car kit, Video car adapter

The only other real viable option that I'm aware of is using an FM transmitter, which typically sucks.

Your stuck with CDs or an fm transmitter.

The dension is a cool device but unless your good a audio hook ups and what not plan on paying someone to install it.

PaulH413, very well done. How is your reception with a normal FM station? Does it still sound normal?

well it was never really that good since i got my car but it didnt get any worse if that helps any haha. but since ive installed it theres really no reason for the radio when i have pandora on my phone plus a the 6 disc cd player and a whole ipod full of music iSimple - Apple® iPod® Adapter for Most Vehicle Radios (Basic Install Included) - IS77 this is the one i ended up installing and its awesome! it comes with both the ipod plug which charges your ipod and also an auxiliary hookup so if your looking to do this id say get this one just buy it from someone other then bestbuy cause itll be cheaper
