need some stereo help sort-of, just a question Options

[opie_7afe]

ok my question is is there any way i can add a aux input into the stereo harness or something...i do not have the amplified system and its the single din with cubby hole under stereo....i have a aftermarket unit in there that came with the car but guess what....its a CASSETTE!!!!!!! a old lady had it before the person i bought it from who only used cassettes so yeah....i probably should get a new unit but i just cannot stand the radio around here so i need something for now....hopefully someone can help me i looked at wiring diagrams but have came up empty handed really...thanks alot guys/gals

cheapest way would be if the existing headunit has RCA input on the back.

If not then get one of those cassette modulators.

^ I had that for a while, sounds like crap. I'd recommend a cheap, cheap bottom of the line head unit with AUX input over that.

oh crap didnt think of rca inputs on back ill google the model of headunit see what i can come up with and i cant use one of those adapters.......its a automatic face meaning it slides down to expose cassette input...that adapter is common knowledge

yeah, RCA inputs and (what are you tryin to hook up?) If it's like ur Ipod or someting- just get a dollarstore earphones/uds and a dollar store AV cable- cut and splice. 2 wires per line. no biggy. dont spend 15 bucks on some fancy pants RCA Converter or somestupid ****... lol.

ok i researched into it i found a converter to go from jvc's cd changer port into rca or a 3.5mm jack thats about 8$ or i can go with a sirus satellite radio fm modulator and use that, this radio has no audio inputs besides the j-bus cd changer plug.......think ill go with the jvc j-bus/3.5mm cord then ill get a fem/fem coupler and install it into the dash somewhere so i can just plug mp3 player into there without having wires hanging out of the dash....thanks for all the help guys....i wish i had the amplified factory sound system as i know i could put a aux input on that.....
