    how easy is it to add an auxiliary port to a factory stereo?
    Buy a new head unit.

    yup.

    super easy to install them. takes an 1-1.5 hours depending on how fast you work.

    order from crutchfield.com and they toss in the wiring harness and the mounting brackets.

    you can pick up a cheap one for 100, or get something pretty decent for 200...or go crazy and drop 1k

    i can't just wire something to the stereo and drill a hole for the port? I'm pretty sure I can add on a multi CD changer to it...

    for 60 bucks...i'd pony up a few more dollars and just go after market.

    it really isn't hard to do an intall. if you can connect 11 wires, you can do it

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
