I have an 84 Buick Grand National and I want to add a 3.5mm port to the factory radio. I have several units, one is a radio/cassette player with eq., one is a radio/cassette (have 2). I want to keep it factory looking and don't want to add a new non-factory head unit. Are there any newer Delcos with 3.5 that would fit? Since this is an 84, I don't think this option will work. HELP!

Something like a Peripheral IS32 will give you several types of inputs through the FM radio, no need to mod the factory radio at all. Here's the link

DYohn, thanks for the info. I really want to keep the factory look, but miss CD/MP3 capability too. My VWs have Pioneer head units and I have ipod, CD/mp3 ability. I will post which way i go.

thanks again.
