Absolutely possible. Through the use of an adapter you can connect almost any device to the Aux input. I used a PIE adapter (FRD04-AUX, I think). Check out their website (http://www.pie.net). Self-installation is fairly straight forward. I listened to my Zune on a 3-hour trip today!

So does anybody know exactly what the converters do? My simple mind finds it hard to imagine that it does much more than connect the RCA plugs to the correct 3 or 4 wires in the aux connector on the head unit. If thats the case, sure seems to me that it would be dead simple to build my own if there was a diagram for the connector available. Of course I may well be way off base but other than connect a pair of RCA plugs to the appropriate connector on the head unit, what magic do these little boxes perform that make them worth close to $100?

Also have the PIE connector which works great. Don't know exactly what and how they work, but they are fairly inexpensive and easy to install. I have mine hooked up to my Sirius and Ipod.

Aggiefan,

How did you accomplish the satellite/Ipod connections! I have Audiovox Xpress EZ connected to my PIE interface and am trying to figure out how to connect my Ipod nano
