Non iPod hookup

Anybody know a relatively easy way to hook up a non-iPod mp3 player to a stock setup? I'm using the Belkin Tunecast2, but it's a royal PITA to keep tuning it to find an open station. Can I just splice into the harness or something easy like that?

I have the single disk Premium Sound stereo (RDS, auto-volume, all that good stuff). The mp3 player is a Creative Zen W (GREAT player, BTW, and highly recommended!).

Just doing a quick search, how about something like this:

That's pretty cool. For $70 on crutchfield I'm sure you can get it somewhere else for less. So that FRDR-AUX would be the way to go. I was going to suggest a FM modulator "injector"

Looks great, except that I don't think I have changer hookups. Of course, I haven't had the head unit out of the dash yet, so I'm not positive. however, there isn't any changer controls on the faceplate...hmmm...time for a new head unit!

I just found that after a quick search. I would go to www.crutchfield.com and do some checking. They have tons of adapters for factory systems. Surely, they have one that will match up with what you need.

Thanks, DConder. I'll give them a look-see, and see what I come up with.
