I have a saturn vue, and I have a standard factory radio on it. I want to hook up my mP3 player to the radio. I was wondering if there was RCA Inputs in the back of the radio so I could hook the mP3 player up to the RCA Jacks. I really dont want to use a FM tuner. I dont have a DVD player so I wouldnt be able to hook up the Mp3 player to that.

No, there are no RCA jacks on any VUE stock head unit. Your best bet is to swap out the head unit, otherwise your stuck with the FM modulator. You didn't say what year your VUE is, but if it's an '06 then you always have the "AUX" input available.

Check out THIS (http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=518). It plugs into the 9 or 10 pin connector on the back of GM HU's. I'm not sure if all VUE stereos have this connector or not though. The link for the 9 pin version is on the bottom of the page.

I know the module they make for the mazda 3 works well, and people have been using them for years.

If you don't have the Radio with MP3 option, your out of luck...If you have an AUX input (standard input) on the front of the deck (lower right), your in luck. Otherwise, as mentioned you'll have to get another deck or find a harness that will work....It was a $200 option when I bought my VUE....in hinsight, I wish I got the amp....:yes:

Replacing your headunit with even the most basic aftermarket unit with RCA jacks is your best option right now. Your audio quality will be noticably better without even replacing the speakers. The stock headunits aren't very good.
