Well, a local stereo store said they could try to wire in the empeg car in front of the amp with relays to have it switch the stock stereo out when the empeg car was turned on. They estimated it would cost me about $1000 for the install.

My final solution is a bit embarassing and certainly not the best sound, but my wife didn't kill me over it:

I went to Radio Shack and bought a cigarette lighter power adapter and a cassette adapter. The empeg output goes into the cassette adapter just fine and since I'd not played ANY cassettes in my new truck it even sounds OK. I leave the Mark II in it's soft case propped up against the box between the two seats and I close the CD box cover on the strap to hold it there.

Cheap, but it's working when the roads aren't clean enough for my preferred ride...

It does have the added advantage that when I travel I can take my empeg car along and use it in rental cars with cassette players.
