Question Easy Solution for Aux MP3 player input

Hi all,
I've searched through the many posts on how to hook up an iPod dock and even Zune docks - its great to see all the assistance for that.
However, I am looking for an even simpler/cheaper solution. I have 3 MP3 players (Zune, Sansa, Zen) all of which I want to play through the SAT input on my OEM '04 G35 Sedan. I don't need the MP3 players to get power and I can use the MP3 player contols only - I'm only looking for sound passthrough.
What is the easiest way to do this?
Can I just plug in a Y-cable to the back of the OEM deck somewhere? (i.e. Y-cable = 2 male RCA's into 1 male mini-stereo). If so, where do I located the place to plug this in? Thanks in advance!

The OEM deck has no RCA's you need to use an adapter like the PAC AAI-NIS2 that will give you RCA outputs you can use.

I see, thanks, too bad.
By looking at the PAC AAI-NIS2 installation & at g35ipod.com, I guess I'd need to take apart the dash for this just to get at the back of my deck - yeeesh .. I will probably eff that up, so I guess I'll go back to the FM transmitter.

I tried 2 different PAC's and couldn't get either to work.

Dont know about the 04s but i have an 03 Sedan with tape player, I went to walmart and picked up a tape with a stereo jack cable for $8 and I've been able to hook up any MP3/Ipod to my system. Just change the source to tape and control your MP3/Ipod from the device itself... (which is what you want to do) works good and cant beat the $8 setup LOL
