OK here is the situation. I have a Sony Xplod CDX-GT200
The only AUX input it has is a 3.5 mm jack on the front panel. Nothing on the back.
I also have a DVD player with AUX out. I could just get an adaptor cable to plug the RCA in to the 3.5 mm jack but I was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do it without changing head units.
Any ideas?

not really, unless u wanna rip open ur head unit, unsolder the socket, drill a hole at the back of the case, mount the socket, and solder wires from the socket to the pcb where the socket was

you could use an fm modulator...if it's just for a dvd and you don't need perfect sound quality it will work great and you won't see any wires.

That is a great idea. I found an inexpensive Jensen one on Ebay I just bought. The only drawback is that I have to wire a toggle switch to the power to let my antenna feed come through.
