Is it possible to turn a line output converter into an auxiliary input?

^^

or is there an easier/more efficient way to add an AUX input to a car with a factory HU?

I searched and I don't think this has been asked before..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

you would have to jury rig a ganged switch. Some of the Audio Control stuff has inputs for that but it's pricey.

Nope... Sorry. It cannot be turned into one. For a cheap way, use an old XM or Sirius Antenna module. (the large installed XM unit, Pioneer, ect) . It functions as an RF input. Put your radio on 88.7 (or somewhere in that area) and it will have an input cable that you plug into your IPOD or MP3 player. Cheapest way I know of.
