Does it look anything like this?

No. :/
I don't have a digicam on me, so. Guess we are not going to know what the part was

Well. Until the summer smiles at me I'll be driving around w/o the tuner. It's too damn cold to start learning about car audio now!

Hey, about the AUX plug/wiring thing... What kind of cable do I need in order to get a signal from my portable-cd/md/laptop/whatever? Just a regular RCA-3.5mm ? Like one connecting my computer to my home stereo? Or my Empeg @ home to my stereo?

Thinking it would be great to install a 3.5mm plug in the car, maybe in the glovebox / such. And to plug a cable in it when using a portable player. Comments?
