ya i think our options are work on some connection like the post after yours suggested or else get a whole new head unit. I priced it out at best buy for prly under 150 installed and everything. Im just the kinda guy who would rather try and figure it out myself and do a cheap install. Ive also considered going to a junkyard and exchanging my cd player radio for a cassette one and then just getting a cheap tape adapter... although i don't know if the plugs would be the same and if i could just swap it out like that.
My radio is currently sitting on my desk apart so im def working on figuring this out asap and ill letcha know my findings
