Satellite Radio Sound Quality

What’s the best way to add mp3 player capability to my car?
I drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse 2007 and it has a pretty nice factory audio system with an am/fm/6-cd head unit, 10-inch woofer and mp3 disk capabilities. One thing which is conspicuously missing is an audio jack for an mp3 player or satellite radio.
While there is no “AUX” button, when I cycle through the inputs with the steering wheel controls, an AUX option appears. I cannot find any audio jack anywhere in the car and the manual does not have any information of it. I figure this is just a mistake or something that couldn’t be engineered around.
My real problem is that I want to hook up my mp3 player to my car but what most of my friends use is an fm radio adapter but it always provides lackluster sound quality with intermittent interference.
Is there a higher powered fm adapter that you recommend or is there another option for me to hook up my mp3 player?
unfortunately, as of right now there are no aftermarket aux in adapters for your car. your car has the capability of adding one, they just don’t make an aftermarket one for it right now, according to crutchfield.com. you can check with the dealership, you might be able to buy something so you can use that aux with your mp3 player. your only other option is to go with a wired fm modulator. it works the same way as the ones that your friends have but instead of plugging into your cig lighter and transmitting wirelessly, you connect power and ground to it and it plugs inline with the antenna, so you get no static or interference, but you also only get fm quality sound, not mp3 quality sound. hope that helps
