Hi,

I own a 2001 Honda CR-V and was wondering if any had anyone has advice
about how to get an auxiliary jack installed. Is there a cable or
something that I could install? I bought an Ipod and want to be able
to play music in my CR-V (and do this as inexpensively as possible). I
know that there are FM tuners to do this but from what I can tell they
don't work all that well. I don't have a tape player in the car to buy
a tape adapter.

Thanks for your help,

Craig

If there is no input on the unit, there is not much you can do.
Was there a seperate tape deck unit sold for your CR-V? If there was, there
might be a way of hacking into the input for the tape deck.
Or, you could get a tape deck from a scrap yard and get a tape adaptor.

On the other hand, lot of stores offer a non question 10 day return policy.
You can buy an FM adapter and see by yourself how it works.

I use the PIE for XM and an mp3 player. I don't think there is a better
solution.
