Default Stock head unit

Does anyone know if the stock head unit has an aux. jack in the back? I want to hook my iPod up to it but Id rather just keep the stock unit and get an aux cord. I don't think it does but i cant take it apart here at school because my tool box is at home.

i don't think so. You might if you have a cd player? I have the tape deck version so I would assume it's different.

Nope it doesn't. You can get an adapter to go through the cd changer port on the back though. Then you can hide the iPod anywhere, and controll it through the radio.

It's a "Bus" connection on the back of it. Not an RCA.

i stopped adapting when CD's came out. I cant even work these new contraptions anymore. 20 years from now when cars have like Ipod type things instead of CD players, im gonna be ripping them out and downgrading to a CD player. Hell, my 88 dakota doesnt even have a radio, I just listen to the tune of the bad throwout bearing in every gear except 4th.
