Ok, I'm tired of using the FM transmitter since I live in a large city and am constantly having to change the station to accomodate for radio traffic. I just bought a used car that doesn't have a CD, but does have a cassette player. I got the cassette adapter, which is better than the FM, but I still don't like hearing the wheels of the cassette playing on quieter songs.

The stereo unit is already prewired for a CD changer in the trunk and has a CD button on the head unit. I would assume that I could run wires from the CD aux. input in the back out into the cabin and plug my ipod right in. Has anyone done anything similar or have any other ideas?
