    Just bought a '05 Hyundai Sonata. Came with the factory CD/cassette
    stereo.

    I've been using the cassette adaptor to listen to my iPod, and it
    sounds fine, but what I'd really like is direct input for better sound.
    I understand that some new car stereos have an auxiliiary input in the
    rear of the unit. Instead of ripping the head unit out of this brand
    new car to check, I ask: Does anyone know if there's one back there?

    I'd check with the dealer, but I'm sure they wouldn't know what I'm
    talking about.

    I don't see the unit that is in my '04 Sonata there. I'd sure like to
    plug my hard drive music player straight into the stereo rather than use
    a cassette adapter. My other car has a mini stereo jack right in front.

    It just dawned on me that Hyundai might indeed make their OE car
    stereos themselves. Do they?

    have you thought about a wireless transmitter to plug into your i pod, then
    tune your radio into its fm frequency?
    radio shack sells them..35.00 cdn
