Not unless it has an auxillary input unfortunatly. The page you linked to isnt working at the moment for the HU so I couldnt check it out properly. The RCAs go to your amp, so they are useless for an mp3 player as far as i know.

Yea see how it says "*AUX Input with Optional Unit (CA-C1AX or KCA-S210A)"
As far as I know if you get this optional unit then you will be able to plug right in.

run a suitable line to the input in the deck if it has one (why this wasnt an option on car audio decks years ago is beyond me) and have the loose end exiting into the glovebox or somewhere inconspicuous maybe the console would be better even! and plug ya MP3 player into it and have it sitting in the console...

yeah i plugged it into the RCA and nothing went through to the deck, so yer mayb the rca's are only output and not input. but ill just try this and see how i go... what do people think bout these transmitters? pro'z and cons? thanks:)

The deck doesnt have an input to plug straight into, it has an input that you can put an optional Auxillary input into, but you will need to purchase that module seperatly from god knows where.
RCAs will only signal out, no matter how much u try to plug things into them lol.

About the transmitters, I've heard good things and bad. Some people say the quality is ****, some people say they experience frequent dropouts, but others say they are fine and a great option for your situation. If possible try before you buy and see for yourself. Hope thats some help for you.
