uber noob question. auxiliary input is just like a headphone jack right? so a cd player with aux input that is located in the back, how do you access that if it is back mounted? hence once it's installed at circuit city on my dash, how the hell am i gonna be able to access it to hook up my ipod or something to that aux input? i'm not a ICE guy so don't know my way into car stereos.

Depends. If you're a big guy and there's no way you're fitting your hand back there, then pull the stereo out and go. If you think you can somehow get your wrist in there far enough to plug something in, go for it.

Hook-up a set of patch cables to the inputs and run the somewhere near the front for easy access, or panel mount RCA/Phono jacks are easy to find and mount.

You gotta pull the deck out, plug in the Aux cables, and run them down toward an opening.... then put your deck back in.

Do they make a splitter that allows you to turn one aux input into two? My one aux is currently occupied with Sirius radio, and I wanted to run another one for my mp3 player.

the aux input is the same as the headphone jack right? if so, is there any headphone jack(male) to headphone jack(male) cable?

just get the rca cables with the "headphone" type plug at the other end, I run it into the out on my SAT radio then unplug it and plug in my MP3 player, PSP ect....

An aux in is typically a pair of RCA connections at the back of the deck... best thing to do if you will need a lot of access to it is to mount a set of jacks on your center console, it's simple, cheap, easy and effective.

Some decks have aux inputs on the front that use a stereo headphone type connection... the one that I know of that did this was JVC, I'm sure there are others as well.
