MP3 player hookup

Sorry for any repeats.. But I did not find anything in here..

I would like to get the AUX input installed, but was wondering if a cable exists that I could go from my MP3 player to my AUX port.. MP3 has the USB connection... a or b... the small one. :P It is a SONY.

No headphone port out of the MP3 player?!

Just run an 1/8in male to 1/8in male cable between your AUX and your MP3 player.

But I'm almost positive that no one has ever created a USB to headunit converter unless it was through a laptop first.

The Aux port is meant to simply connect to the headphone jack of an mp3 player, walkman-style cassette, satellite radio plug-n-play receiver or anything else that outputs audio at a line- or headphone-level. As long as you can plug headphones in and listen, you can connect it. All that is needed is a 1/8 inch, three conductor (stereo), male-to-male cable in an appropriate length to patch the unti to the aux. These are available practically anyplace that sells electronics goods. from Radio Shack to Best Buy, etc.

THanks, didn't really think of that.. I think I over thunk it...

AND I was remember some ppl talking about hooking it up and controlling it with the head unit... which I don't think you can do through the head phone port.
