You can use an FM transmitter that plugs into to cigar lighter, that is the easy cheap way or look at the Crutchfield Site, they have a other solutions at a higher price. But I am tempted to get a malibu radio at a junkyard, then open it up and see if I can tie in a cable to the audio output of the cd player and then add an aux. INPUT JACK to the faceplate. My biggest concern is if the security code will disable the radio and I then have to pay GM an arm and leg to redo the code. Then if the system isn't right I have to see GM again for another code change.Really these coded radios are not for theft prevention they are just another way to squeeze out some more cash
