Generic MP3 through factory radio (1999)

Greets,

I have a 1999 f150 with the original Ford CD player AM/FM radio. Not a CD changer. Is there a way to get an AUX input on this radio so I can play a generic MP3 player? I do not need to control the MP3 player through the radio, etc., I just want to plug in a MP3 player and play it over the audio system.

Thank you.

You will need a FM Modulator, I think a wired one will work better.

To elaborate, the fm modulator (wired) is better then the fm transmitors (wireless) The modulators, are a direct line in, through the antena jack on the back of your headunit, then you tune to a freq. The fm transmitors, are wireless, and are generally weaker signals, that sometimes are overpowered by the other local radio stations. Either way you tune the radio to a specific freq.
