You will need one of these from radio shack.
Part# 274-246 for $2.69
1-Ok now take your radio out of the car.
2-Take the bottom panel off with one screw on the back it will pry off after screw is removed.
3-Now there will be 4 gold screws holding the tape assembly in remove those now the assembly is free.
4-Gently pull the 2 connectors from the motherboard and set unit aside.
5-Now time to remove the the faceplate cable pull it strait up now pull volume knob off and go all the way around and pry the clips off and set faceplate aside.
6- Get a clean rag and set the faceplate face side down remove the screws and pull motherboard off and buttons out.
7-Get your aux port over by the volume area and see how much of the clear piece needs to be ground away do so and drill the hole for it.
8-So now for soldering i used cat 5 network cable solder wires on each connector and shrink wrap each one when done i also put one big piece of shrink tube over the whole outlet.
9- now to wire it up cut the middle of wires 1 is your left and 3 is you right, on the 7 pin connector blue will be #7 for reference and follow this wiring chart.
10- Below is what each wire does on the aux port.
Pin 1 - Ground - connect to the stereo chassis
Pin 2 - Left Channel - wire from tape connector on main circuit board
Pin 3 - Left Channel - wire coming from tape player assembly
Pin 4 - Right Channel - wire coming from tape player assembly
Pin 5 - Right Channel - wire from tape connector on main circuit board
