I have an 05 Galant DE with just the normal Mitsubishi sound system. I was thinking about replacing my head unit just to get an auxiliary port to plug in my iPod or whatever other music players I have lying around because I'm sick of burning CDs.

Well, I'm pleased with the sound in the vehicle for now and I was wondering if there was a cheaper way to get an aux port in my head unit. I did some searching on google and found a couple things.

One involves some rather botched soldering work with a giant disclaimer warning of frying your entire head unit and another is a little part specifically made for this model vehicle (supposedly). (Link below)

I read somewhere to that get to "AUX" mode you have to hold down the CD button for 2 seconds, well, I tried that but to no avail. Also, though, I read that AUX mode will only initiate when you have this installed. I was merely wondering if this would work (I know how to take out my head unit and stuff myself, that's easy) or if there was any other, cheaper, way to get an aux port in my car.

And yes, I've tried FM transmitters and they just don't cut it.

Thank you.
