As above, is there any way to fit an auxiliary input to the stock stereo in my 850? My music taste is somewhat varied and have too many CD's in the car!

I'd rather not swap the head unit for a ugly new one if I can help it.

it is actually easier than the voc thread reads, i did it with mine and found inside the headunit the 3 wires needed are part of the cassette reader and you dont need to have a blank tape inside just manually push the tape deck in to give a constant sound feed ;)
