I have a 2005 Nissan Altima with the basic audio set-up (not the bose set-up). And I was wondering what the best and cheapest way to hook up my phone and ipod up to the stereo. I do not want to use a FM transmitter and I dont have a place for AUX cable.
Only option is a tape adapter. Im in the same situation as you. I don't have an AUX port on my system so Im stuck with tape deck adapter or FM transmitter.
Your choices are very limited.
Another option (which is what I am planning on doing)
Is upgrade your system

Use that link right there. The bottom left side of that page there is another link that says "CAR FIT GUIDE" and it'll bring open another window that will allow you to insert your car info and find a stereo system that is compatible with your car.
Im thinking about upgrading.
May seem expensive but dropping 100 dollars on getting a new stereo system isn't that bad.
