Hi guys,
First of all, I know that this topic has probably been beaten to death. However, I am still unable to find an answer that I can be contented with. So posting it here.
I have a 2002 Malibu with a factory installed CD/radio player. It doesn't have a cassette player. Obviously, I would love to play music from my iPhone/usb music stick. I do not mind installing a cassette player and using the aux cassette player or for that matter, even installing a new CD player. However, as I read about installing the new CD player, there seem to be lot of issues with respect to: (a) having to buy lot of accessories to get it working (b) and obviously ending up paying for the installation too, if i get it done outside.
First question: I see a tag on my current cd player which says (CD aux). Does that mean I have an aux connection somewhere? It's certainly not there in the front. If yes, how can i use it to play from my music player with aux input.
Second question: I see that there is a slot available in my dash below the AC controls. Is that space for a cassette player? In that case, can I buy a cassette player from ebay or some such sites and install it?
Third question: If none of the above work, and I do get a new CD player, how hard is it to install it myself? I know the CD player would cost around 80-100. But what about the accessories. I can't just get a hold of a list of all the accessories I would need.
Thanks! Waiting for replies!
