all you need is an rca to phono converter. then you can turn your headphone out to rca inputs for your amplifiers or radio, if it has inputs.

get a FM Modulator, you can find them at radio shack or go to a local audio shop and they can order one for you, you hook it into the A/V out and turn you radio to the certain radio station

this is also a really good solution. Its advantage is it takes teh guess work out of hardwiring, your radio picks up the radio signal, and it instantly works through your already setup radio.

the disadvantage is its only as good as yoru fm reciever. which means if you have kinda a not so good radio in yoru car, then its not gonna run as well as really hardwiring it in there.

but sometimes its not only difficult, but impossible to hardwire. in which case yoru left with the fm modulator, which will hook right up and work well.

totally forgot about teh fm modulator......
