Screw a Line Convertor it will just generate noise.. I have a Alpine 
TDA-7554 Cassette with 12 Disc Ai Net Changer.. 35x4. I just bought a $3.00 
metra connector, a DIN-12 Antenna Adapter from http://www.antennaworld.com 
and wired it all up..

Sounds like Night and Day, I did it my second day with the Jetta..
