Default Auxillary input?

Is there an inexpensive kit out there that will allow me to add an auxillary input to the factory radio in my '06 GS300 w/o nav?

How cheap are you talking? $10 bucks you can get a tape adapter....$200 you can get an ipod adapter with aux input as well...

Tape adapter is the cheapest, most cost effective route. Plus you can actually use the "TAPE" setting for a change.

ha i have to admit i was pretty shocked when i got in the gs for the first time that it had a tape deck still. i figured with all the money you spend on the car it wouldnt have a tape deck and would have an aux input for ipods. hell my sisters vue has one and it was like 1/2 the price.

The 2008 model year GS has an AUX Input located in the backside, inner portion of the center console.

Yeah, Unfortunately they did not think of adding an input on the 07 , even though I-PODs and MP3 players were soooo popular !
