This weekend I was helping a friend who has a 10 year old Ford CD6000 car stereo and we investigated just what you are discussing. It seems on older European cars Aux is often available on the ISO connector but not easy to pin out. You can buy a ready-made adaptor which I suspect also has some isolation de-coupling so that MP3 doesn’t get fried when you alternator decides to burn out. My wife’s BMW One series has a 3.5mm in but it’s heavily padded so a bit quiet for an old headbanger like me! I forked out some loot and got the proper Kenwood iPod adaptor, about £40 ($90), well worth it my book! Cheers Gosh, what a timely post Bret!
