i want to hook up my mp3 player into my car. my current setup is what came with the car, stock bose cd player (not a changer, only a single disc player), no tape deck, normal speakers. can someone point me in the right direction of what product to buy to run a wire into my stereo system that i can plug my mp3 player into (into its headphone jack)?

 

headphoe jack definetly wont wors, its for output only, i dont think you can with the stock system?

 

so lets see:

you wan tto have a 1/8" phone plug coming out of the car so you can plug into the mp3 player right?

 

headphone jack as output on the mp3 player, going into the aux input on my car's cd player. this is done all the time.

1/8th or RCA, doesnt matter, i can convert it to what i need

 

got it, though you meant the other way around...

 

theres a modulator u can get from bestbuy. u plug it into the headphone jack in the mp3 player, and tune ur radio to a certain channel. and it will work. dude at work has one 4 his portable mp3 player. i think its only like 25$

 

i dont want something like that. i have an FM modulator and it is a pain in the ass to use. i want to hook something up using wires

 

iisn't there an Audio In RCA plug ins? if there are, can't u just get that Y cable that goes from 1/8" to RCA? I figure that would work

 

THere are no aux inputs. You have to modulate it or nothing.

 

would this work?

My Pioneer head unit had an P-Bus thing for changers and whatnot, and you could buy an adapter that would change it to RCA input, then I just got the RCA to headphone cord, and it's golden! So I guess the advice is to get a new headunit or you're stuck with the cruddy sounding FM thing...
