Your options are:
1) Use an external, wireless FM modulator. They are usually powered by the cigarette lighter plug, or batteries. Not the best option, as far as sound quality goes.
2) Use an inline FM modulator - which connects between the head unit and antenna plug. Better than option 1, but still does not have stellar sound quality.
3) Find some way to convert the CD changer input that TOD speaks of, to an RCA or Mini input. If it's 4 wires on the factory harness, soldering a few female RCA jacks would work just fine. I am not sure how an external CD changer attaches to the OEM cd player, so unfortunately I can't offer any better advice on how to accomplish this. If you can provide pics of the rear, that might help.
4) Upgrade to an aftermarket head unit with auxiliary inputs.
Keep in mind that the OEM head unit does not offer excellent sound quality in the first place, so option 1 or 2 might suffice.
