I am going to do the Aux input mod for the first 20 forum members interested. This will be the Blank CD method. The sound quality is fantastic as ay of the guys that attended the Aux Input day can attest. What will this cost you?
$20 labor
+ Shipping both ways
+ parts
You can request a return lable at time of shipping and just include it in the box with the radio.
For parts I will present two options
1. Ground loop isolator method (this will eliminate noise from the sound if charging your mp3 player in the car)

2. No Ground Loop Isolator (no noise if your MP3 player is not charging, this method is cheaper)

The mod will be preformed the same day the stereo is received and mailed back the same day or next if it is too late. You will also receive my guide for taking the dash apart and installing the input recepticle.
When you are done you will have an input jack similar to this for connecting your mp3 player
This is Yaxman's when we finished, ignore thejunk in his armrest :-P
You can put the jack where ever you feel like it. Mine is next to my traction control.
If you just want the cable to be ready to connect to your MP3 player instead of a jack I have those instructions included as well.
