James, have you seen the writeup on how to make a true "Aux In" on a BMW tape deck? It might be tougher (maybe easier, who knows?) on that deck...but an MP3 player would be sweet as hell in combination with that!

although it does have that 'vintage cool' about it,
i've settled for a much better quality sound from my new unit.

pics soon (when my brother brings the camera home from school tonight)
