Default AUX input using stock radio - could use some advice

The S2K I purchased has an aftermarket JVC radio with an IPOD adapter setup. I don't have an IPOD and don't plan on getting one. Unfortunately I can't use my phone with this setup.

I searched but I am new to S2000's and I just want to make sure I get the correct adapter as I only want to do this once.

My goal is to remove the aftermarket JVC head unit, replace it back with the stock radio, and at the same time install an AUX adapter into the stock radio so that I can plug in my HTC incredible/anything with a 3.5mm adapter and listen to music off of that.

If anyone has advice what they use or recommend for setup like this I am all ears : )

Thanks in advance

I found this but I don't know if it's the best or if there are any "gotchas"

Sure, $50 : )

I deal with alot of direct connect aux inputs at work and honestly have little faith in them. Honestly I would do a Isimple is77. Regardless of your past thoughts on fm modulators this one works perfect and sounds great. Its hardwired and doesnt broadcast wirelessly like most cheap pices do. There is a switch that turns the mod on and off that you can mount anywhere. It is so strong actually that it will wipe the majority of the AM radio signal when left on.

Best of all it is easy to install and less expensive than other pieces.

i got the same for my03. it work perfectly and it fits perfectly behind the stock head unit. all you need is to purchase mini rca to 3.5mm to hook up to a phone, mp3 or anything that has 3.5mm jack that plays audio.

Crutch field has great customer service and very fast shipping. plus anything over 50 is free shipping

Note this product will only work with 00-03 models that have 14pin connector input on back of the radio not to sure about the 04+ you can call them to verify.

basically you plug it in to where the 6 disc cd changer would plug into and ground the unit. plug the rca

buy 6foot mini rca and run the line to the glovebox

Also if you really want to have a sleek set up you could buy black berry blue tooth getaway to have it streem bluetooth better connection then those fm transmitter

or if you dont want to speed alot of money you could just buy auxiliary set up for the jvc
