If you had asked here, someone would have answered your question about the
aux input in no time :)
Bear in mind also that many car CD-radios have a rear connection for a CD
"juke-box" and you can often get a lead that fits that with a 1/8" plug on
the other end. That is what I have on my Blaupunkt.
