I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if changing your am/fm/cd selector switch to a 4 position switch (the 4th being aux. input) would work?

Yes you can add auxiliary audio input to any stereo but you will need to solder a 5 pin aux 3.5 jack into the radio board before the radio preamp after the FM output, there are 2 cables for audio in 2 cables for audio out and 1 for ground,

when you insert the headphone style jack the 5 pin aux jack will stop the audio from the FM and play the audio from the external source

Where is the AUX input of a 2005 Ford Focus?

Does 2002 Dodge Durango have a aux input jack radio?

Nope. But if you have the single CD version of the radio, you can buy an adapter that hooks into the port on the back where the external disk changer would go (search eBay and they are easily found). However, if you have the factory 6-disc CD version, then I think you're out of luck. Though I have seen an owner mod that adds an aux input jack to the front of certain models, but it seems like an expensive proposition if you aren't handy enough to do it yourself. Since I have a ZTS with the 6-disc CD, I'm looking for options other than a FM modulator myself. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions......
