If it's the stock radio in your Taurus, you're probably out of luck
without doing some major hacking of the unit or using an FM device as
suggested earlier. That CD input is probably proprietary to a very
overpriced unit that only works with one a dealer will sell you. Even
if it isn't, again, you'd need major work to convert it into a simple
AUX input.

Some mid- to higher-end after-market units have AUX inputs in the back,
or have them as options you can purchase. If you have an after-market
unit, I'd check to see if it's there and you just didn't know it. Most
Aiwa head-units have a very convenient mini-jack in the front, which is
what I have. Makes using the rockbox in the car simple.
