Question connect MP3 player through CD changer input socket??

Hi.
I want to connect my MP3 player directly to my stereo in my 2001 wrx. The stereo is the standard kenwood double din unit with minidisc and CD, found in the Import version.
I was hoping that it may have had an rca input, but it only has the socket for the CD changer, which I dont have anyway.
Anyone know if its possible to use this to connect an MP3 player?
Thanks, Rob.

sorry, just realised this should be in ICE!!

I haven't got any of the stuff you have but someone at work has an iTrip module for his iPAQ - it transmits on an FM frequency and all he has to do is tune his radio to the frequency and he gets the iPAQ stuff played through his stereo...

Is there anything like this for your player?

there's quite a few sites selling the itrip but have a read through this bit first and make your own mind up...

Kenwood have a switching box in their range to allow you to use two CD changers in the boot. It also has aux input for use with a range of input devices including a portable MP3 player.

I have one in my boot but I don't know the product code for the item. I use it for a Boot changer and a Music Keg at the same time but I could also add my Rio Karma portable player too if I wanted.

Hope this helps
