Purchase one of these http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productid=2062620  and one of these, http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productid=2062452  You will need a few feet of small wire to make a ground and a probe to attach to the plug.  With the radio out of the dash of the vehicle and the CD mechanism removed (only if you can not get to the wires of the mechanism that go to the deck)  Ground the ground wire of the plug to the chassis of the radio.  With a CD playing in the CD player and the radio volume all the way down.  Volume up a bit on the amplified speaker, touch each connection on the harness that connects CD mechanism to the mainboard.  2 connections will play audio out of the little speaker.  Those are the 2 signal wires.  If you still want to use the cd player, you will have to wire a switch to switch between CD and Aux In.  Let me know if you need help with that part of the project.

i was just going to use a old set of headphones to check for audio output on each of the wires from the cd unit, i know how to wire it all up, just wondering if anyone knows which wires, to save me some time, thanks for the idea though

The level coming out of the CD mechanism is probably not hot enough to hear on a set of headphones.

1 more ?    How do i find the wire that tells the amp to turn the radio part off when a cd is inserted, i know whichever one it is needs to be hooked up to a switch that grounds it

Burn a CD with blank audio tracks.  Insert it when wanting to listen to Aux In.  You can probably find the wire that does what you want it to do.  It will probably not need to be grounded.  It will probably go to 12 volts or 5 volts when CD is inserted.

Amplified computer speakers will work fine.     If there is any DC voltage on the signal wires, you will need to insert a 10 Mic non-polarized capacitor between the Aux In signal wires and the wire you tap into.
