Default AUX Line (how to?)

Ok, I'm sick of those FM Transmitter....the quality is so bad....Does anyone know how I can create an AUX line out of my CD Deck?

My car is an Accord 2000, and it has an aftermarket CD Deck (Panasonic CQ-C3200U)
Thanks for all your help and infos.

u can get an aftermarket antenna for like 10-20 bucks and hook it to ur radio and leave it under teh passenger seat. it'll catch the signal good.

most aftermarket decks have an aux input built in, or available through an optional dongle you have to purchase.

go to crutchfield.com and look up your model.

that is correct. most units will have aux nowadays or aux can be activated through a bus system. Or you can do the antenna or FM modulator method. Its still hardwired and works great for under 30

if you can give us a brand of your unit then maybe i can go in detail what you will need for your AUX to work.

I just took the CD deck out, and see there is this line called "CD.C-IN" which is "CD Changer input cord" (according to the manual). Can I mod this line to be the AUX in? If so, how?

Thanks for all the comments so far

sorry bro, but that unit only has a CD IN. the CD Changer IN can ONLY be trigged by their bus system. there is no "hack" you can do that will trick their system. this is like sony which kinda sucks. the only units that can be hacked are clarion, pioneer, JVC,blaupunkt,kenwood, select eclipse decks and alpine. you must purchase the aux adapter for he panasonic unit. it starts from 60 or so and up. i forgot the model number but i will try to pull it up. i have used one and its good. it allows up to 2 aux devices, and able to control a CDchanger at the same time.
