That's where most of the older ones have the Jack. You can just buy a $5 cable from radio shack and run it to the front.

I thought about that, too, because the guy at the store told me how to do it. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, so I thought I'd try it... and I couldn't get the damn stereo out. Turns out with that brand you have to have a special tool to do it. The new one is the same brand as the old one, so the tool they include will fit. Plus, the allure of an HD receiver and the fact that the old one occasionally tries to eat my CDs kind of pushed me towards the purchase.

Since installing my auxiliary jack my CD player and Radio haven't gotten any use...and probably won't ever again.

If your stereo doesn't have an aux jack then either a cassette adapter or fm transmitter would be the way to go, or you could see about getting an aux jack to rca splitter and run it like that. FTR, I use a Phillips cassette adapter in my work truck and it sounds lovely! No hissing at all.
