Default Noob, MP3/AUX Help

Just got a 2005 GS 300 yesterday, put in all my cds and to my surprise it does not play MP3s!


I have been searching the forums for most of the day and cannot find a straight response.


Is there a way to hook up MP3 capabilities or maybe a AUX in so I can use my G1 to play music over my sound system? I am sorry I have looked and cannot find any options.


Thanks in advance, great car btw!

To get the aux jack, you'd have to rig it your self, or get an aftermarket double din player.

There are DIYs for both aftermarket radio install and AUX input.

cd player does not read CDs with mp3s on them.

theres no straight AUX IN.

Use cassette adapter(the cheap solution) and trust me, just get sony cpa 9c - best sound out of about 7 diff brands i've tried. Dont bother with those FM adapters.

GromAudio makes the cheapest(about $60 compared to VasTech's $200) AUX IN adapter that plugs in your CD changer port. You lose your CD changer but you get sound from mp3 player.
I gave up on adding a aux input and used cassette adapter for about a year - simple and for $8 you just cant go wrong.
