Too much dough for an AM/FM conversion if you are providing the radio. Also they can make provisions to connect to XM/serius, and other external devices.

If you have an original thumbwheel that works, I say leave it as is. This is what I used:
http://www.rediscoveradio.com/
It's called the RediRad, goes in between the antenna and your radio, and allows you to plug any device into the auxiliary jack and play through the radio. Installation couldn't be simpler, took me about 15 minutes to get hooked up. Tune your to 1000 AM and listen to whatever goodness you got plugged in. My phone has an FM radio on it, or I can plug in my iPod or whatever. Works great.
Plus, it's cheaper than getting the whole radio rebuilt. ;)

$55 shipped any where in the US.. AM thumb wheel works good. Thats 40 for the radio and 15 for shipping. Steve
Who installed your aux jack? How is the MP3 connection quality? Thanks
RediRad looks cool as well...

Anybody else have any pros/cons about aux options for stock radio?
