ok.. i just found this thread and it has been making me giddy. i also want to play mp3s in my car. i have a simpler (though less comprehensive) system in mind. i have a portable cd player that plays mp3s. i have been thinking about how to get that stupid thing to play through my car stereo. now i may have it. but first... a few things....

1. i am sitting here at work and cant go out and check but does anyone know the manufacturer/model # for the 2002 stereo that came with the 6 disc changer (standard on se or an add on option)

2. has anyone tried something similar with this stereo?

3. xterrain.. that was a great detailed post on how to convert the headphones to connectors... i would rush right out and do it if it worked the same on mine.

thanks for any help... and will try to post back any info i get off the back of the stereo once i go look at it.
