I want to hardwire the audio from my GPS (Garmin Nuvi 360) to my car stereo. Is it possible to just get the right plug for the back of the stereo, or tap into one of the existing connectors to get the stereo to recognize the AUX source?

My GPS can play .MP3 and has Bluetooth for my phone, so I really what to get the audio ported through my car stereo, instead of the tiny speaker on the back of the unit.

Wired:
FM modulator plugins into the back of your stereo at the FM antenna input.


Wireless:
buy a VR3 from walmart and plug the headphone jack/audio line-out on your garmin into it.

Dude...This is perfect! Thanks!

I never thought much of FM modulators because of always hunting for an unused frequency, but this is perfect. A direct connection through the antenna.

Dude just got a similar device from Best Buy. Its slightly better in that it has auto-on/off function so you don't have to have a toggle switch. It automatically senses the music and turns on...cool!
