    Spend $100-150 and get a new radio with the aux input. If you can't do it yourself have the shop install it for you and take it with you when you change trucks.

    I think I remember seeing somewhere some kind of an adapter that connected to the actual antenna connection for the radio. But it might have only been for a satellite radio system, not an Ipod or MP3.

    Schoshe (sp?) makes an aux input adapter. It plugs in the rear antenna jack on the factory radio. It requires a 12v power source. When switched on it blocks out all incoming FM signals and passes your aux input thru. Amazon sells them for about $35.

    Is there anyone still out there listening to CDs?

    I've been thinking of switching to CDs. My 4 & 8 tracks are about worn out.
