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!
