get the alpine auxilary adapter in give you an input option as long as your radio has a cd changer port on it.
it give you a set of rcas and then tells the radio there is another device when pressing source.

Alpine part # KCA-121B. After hooking it up you must go into set up and turn your aux input on. It will be in your owners manual.

There is no such thing as free installation!

just get cable and it will be easy to enter setup to turn aux input on sorry forgot about that before. or go to website and download manual. but its easy.
that cable will allow you to connect an ipod, sirius whatever audio to the radio. a direct link instead of a rf mod.
a local alpine dealer will usually stock this item as it is usally cheap and small to hold in stock.
