Are you guys using a FM modulator or using the tape deck adapter?

FM Modulator gives you horrible sounding reception, it will sound like FM, and the tape deck is okay, but messy with all the wires, not to mention not as high quality sounding as if you hardwired it to the AUX jack installed by your installer.

How do you install an AUX jack on the ML. I have the MCS with the Fiber optic CD changer and I was under impression that there is no way to have an AUX input unless you get rid of the CD Changer. Is that what you are doing??? If not, how are you having a AUX input.
