Line In for auxiliary input?

I have the same radio as in this picture:



is there any way to add auxiliary input or line in of any sort (rca or 3.5mm) so I can hook up my ipod to it? I don't think there is any ipod interface either, so I would be happy with a line-in.
Thanks!

Search is your friend

If you are willing toi tear into the dash and access the deck from the rear I suggest searching the boards,

If you are looking for something relatively simple then I suggest you use a cassete adapter and put it in. The door will close with a little prodding and just hook the adapter to the iPod headphone out. This is what I do and no problems.

Unless it is as simple as unscrewing the head unit and tapping into a line, I would rather not touch it, thanks for the suggestion, I think I will use cassette adapter for now.
As alternative, are there any direct replacement radios? like from later models?
