Default Add Auxillary Audio Port to pre 2007 models?

I have a 2006 F-150 Lariat, but it does not have the nice little 1/8" audio auxiliary jack on the dash. It does have sirius sat which I'll probably never use, so my question is this: Is it possible to some disconnect the sirius radio and add an external audio port for my cell phone or GPS based mp3 player?

I suppose the easiest way to integrate an external audio device would be to get some type of short range radio transmiiter that could be received on the FM band.

Any ideas?

Yeah, but for $14 I'll give it a try. Sounds like they work better if you're not near a large metro area.

they don't work in the big city, all the stations are used, walmart has them, they work just not the best and the music only gets so loud.

the quality on fm transmitters are the worst, not only do you have to find a station not being used but the quality is not as good as cd's or aux jacks

I would think you would be able to get some sort of adapter to where you disconnect your sirius and connect the aux jack. If I were you I would just call a car audio store and see what they say.
