Ok, don't mock me... but I'd like to hook an iPod up to my '90 Corolla.
There are plenty of iPod auto kits, but none for my ancient clunker.

I am more of an electrical/computer guy than a car guy, is there any
way to hook it up, or will I need to purchase a radio with an audio in
jack? (the stock radio in there has a busted casette player, so no luck
on tape adapters).

After this, my next project: GPS.. hah.

No problem - for not much more than the cost of a harness you can have a
whole new receiver / CD player with a front panel aux input.

you may want to consider an FM stereo modulator. I put one into my car
recently and the hook-up is simple. you only need to make a ground & hot
lead connection, plug in the antenna connection and install an RCA
connector. set the radio frequency on the modulator and select the station
on the radio. I have the tail from the RCA wire sticking out and simple
plug-in my MP3 player. works great!

Thanks a lot! I just ordered it. The aux input in nice, it will save
me from having to deal with mounting a secondary RCA/input Monster
cable.

Plus, since I work in the hood, the fact that its only $79 bucks is
good. I will definitely be removing the faceplate.

I also ordered the Haynes repair manual, just in case.

Thanks for your help guys!

You are very welcome. When you get it installed let us know how it

Isn't it amazing how much technology you can buy nowadays for $80 (or in
your case, $28)? Even though I too am in the electronics field (or near
it, anyway) I still am amazed at how little this stuff costs.

I buy used electronics all the time on eBay - just picked up a gigabyte
PCI NIC for $9 delivered - compare that to what they cost just a few
years ago!
