simple answer is no, use the search bar and look up the best ways to go about this. blue tooth music did happen untill 2009 in our cars

Get the GromAudio kit. Plug n Play works great, steering wheel controls work too

i bought an aux bluetooth, it plugs into the aux and you can connnect to it via bluetooth to play music instead of a wire. you can connect to the car bluetooth as well so you can pick up calls.

Search iSimple Bluetooth Cassette.
It’s a wireless Bluetooth adapter via cassette player.
I use one in my 3rd Gen GS and it works flawlessly.
$35 bucks at Bestbuy.

Unfortunately, a lot of cars from this era are missing the proper codec needed to play music through Bluetooth. Personally, I use this --

Amazon Amazon

Having a ground loop isolator is great to keep the static at bay. Hope this helps!
