Auxilary input

I'm looking at buying a new car, but it doesn't have an auxilary input. Is there any way to install one without buying a new radio?

Does it have a tape player? If it does, buy one of those tapes that has a plug to go into your iPhone. That's what I did, music plays awesome.

That would be money, but I don't have a cassette player.

Having one installed would probably cost just as much as buying a new stereo. Using an auxillary input doesn't give you the best sound quality, although it is better than using a tape cassette adapter or FM transmitter, it doesn't sound as good as it would through a USB input on the stereo. It will also charge it while it plays and allow you to control the music from the deck rather than the iPhone. I recently got one at Best Buy for around $150.

If you can save some money, that's what I'd suggest. Othewise, just go with an FM transmitter. I think you can get those new for around $30.

What are you looking into getting? Information on a year/make/model would be helpful to me.

Don't do the FM transmitter whatever you do. If you live in even a slightly large city it will never work. There is just way to much interference.
