there are a few ways of going about this.

1. You could get an FM transmitter for about $70

2. You could try and hook up an input wire by using the mobile phone input on the back of the stereo (which is what I would like to do, but I'm not too sure if it's possible...)

Another way.. without having to use a blank cd in the headunit.....

You could also make a basic fm transmitter ( can even by them dirt cheap in kit form ) , but mod it so instead of it having an arial , wire up another arial lead to the fm transmitter with a male & female pass-though arial plug/connector.

So you would have the arial from the car plugged into the female end of the pass-though arial connector, and the male end of the pass-though arial connector plugged into the radio.

You tune the small pot manually on the fm transmiter to a nice clean station, then have it stored permanentlly hidden away behind the headunit/cfp. Mount a small headphone style jack into the cfp or radio face ( which is conected to the fm transmitter ).

By doing this you could easily plug a mp3 device into the jack, then just click your pre-tuned station button on the radio to listen to your mp3's. This is a much cleaner sounding/stonger method than any 'off the shelf' fm transmitter and reciever , as it is wired straight into the aerial.

Just my 2 cents anyway . gl ;)
