Default Serius Radio install

I know this erea has been covered but I didn't get the straight answer I was looking for I guess. I have a 03 Dakota with the stock cd player. I got a new serius radio and installed it but was wondering if there was a aux in on the stock radio and if so were is it located?

Not necessarily true. Does the radio say "Disc^" printed on preset 1? If so then yes there is an "auxillary" input. If not then no.

then no you dont have the input, even if you did the stock stereo in any dodge is junk...

go with a decent deck, you will need a antenna adapter too, also change out your paper(stock speakers) you will be more happier in the end

From what rtkota5point9 said I do have the aux in. I dont want to buy another cd player anyway. If mine does not have the input then I will do with out.

you said you are installing a sirius satellite radio. which one did you buy? i have a sportster 4 and i run mine through an FM frequency to my stock radio in the truck. im not 100% sure but i belive all sirius radios have this FM transmitter in them. mine comes in crystal clear over the FM.
