ok my dilemma- no mp3/aux input. Solution?

[sethbuckner 10+ year member]

ok so I drive a 2007 volvo s40 that had only a CD player and radio, no aux input. I cannot buy an aftermarket deck because the lcd for my stereo is integrated with my AC Controls. And FM modulator/transmittors have generally shittty sound quality. Is there any other hardware methods for aux input to your stereo? I'm in the process of building a box for my DC lvl4 XL and i'm pretty sure it's going to bang to the point of my CDs skipping like crazy. I will probably try putting dynamat or other sound deadner on the exterior of the CD optical drive to reduce vibration/skipping. Any advice?

thanks in advance

i'll look into them. EXTREMELY INTERESTED!!!!! Give me any info you have on them! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif And i'm still going to get that amp from you soon. I just had a few other financial priorities (I.e. - buying a new passenger side mirror some idiot knocked off). But yeah lemme know if you have one, how they work, and the price tag. Thanks

I think this will actually work. I may have to do some tricky work tapping into my speaker channels though. I've already tapped into my rear two channels for the RCAs for my amp for my sub. And I have the front two channels untouched. But I was planning on tapping into the other two and running both pairs of RCAs into the input of my 4 channel amp once I get it and then using the 4 channel amp's RCA output to feed the signal to my monoblock amp....

am I explaining this correctly or confuding you guys?
