Hi everyone, I just got a MP3 (not IPOD) player for christmas and was wondering how I hook it up to the IS350? I see the aux jack, but my MP3 player came with no wire to hook it up with. Can I just go to radio shack and get a connecter? Is it called something? Thanks

Sure you can here is the link for the cablehttp://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Belki...oductDetail.do
This will work with any MP3 player.

$19.95 is a bit pricey. You can get a similar cable from Radio Shack for about $5.00. For a real iPod, I prefer a "dock" connector cable that bypasses the headphone amp for better sound, but I don't know if that is possible with your player.

How's the quality of the sound with this wire?!?!

If you hear engine noise/whine in the aux channel, you'll need to buy this.

Get a monster cable 1/8" mini to 1/8" mini if you are concerned about quality, generally in the car audio section of electronic stores.

Plug this into the aux socket, then hook up your aux cable with the isolator and mp3 player into the aux cable.

Most people that have iPods and plug them into either of the two 12 volt power sockets (cigarette lighter and center console) have ground loop problems/engine whine coming through the audio.

No noise occurs when you plug an iPod into the aux channel without the 12 volt power.
