does anyone know what vehicles, if any, came with a radio with an aux jack that will fit our cars?

grab this and add your own jack. you lose CD changer if you have one, and make sure you have the 10 pin jack in the back

thanks man.. i'm definitely considering that as my last resort.. and i'm not worried about not using the CD changer i don't have, lol.. that's what the 8 gig SD card in the phone is for, more than enough for me. i just wanna plug in my blackberry through the headphone jack on the phone and listen to music via the micro SD card... oldschool style, lol. that's why i was wondering if any OEM head units had the AUX jack.. i could grab one from the yard for like $30..

according to that, the round faced stereos never came with aux stock. i dont see any on ebay or amazon either doin a quick browse.
are you completely against aftermarket decks? because you can get an mp3 deck with usb, aux, all those goodies for around 50$ at Amazon and would prob be better than OEM.

They make an AUX that tees into the antenna cable. You just have to tune it to a certain station. This is not the ones that send a signal that the antenna picks up. A better set up than those POS's It is what my brother uses for his SiriusXM. I have no clue where he got it tho.
But it should work on any radio, without sacrificing any features.
I would murder 8 gig.

damn... i searched all over earlier and couldn't find any either.. just seein if anyone knew anything i didn't.
i'm not completely against aftermarket units.. i've had a few over the years and i was actually checkin a few out today. i do, however, like the look of the OEM and want to try my damnedest to keep it, haha. just one little plug coming out of the cubby below the radio that i can stuff in there when i'm not using it..
nice and clean.. i like that. i'm not real huge on car audio and just wanna keep it simple. if there's no OEM units that have it i'm gonna just end up getting that set up you linked cg..
and 8gig is pretty big for me.. i just swap out albums on the card from time to time.. different moods, different set of albums.... i don't wanna hear happy shit when i'm pissed off and vice versa, lol.
