Default Aux cord for disco 2

I am looking for a way to add an aux cord to my disco 2. I know there is a way to connect to the cd changer but am not sure how to do it. Does anyone have any idea what adapter I need and what I need to do to get it to work.

Grom audio makes makes a Bluetooth and usb interface that replaces the cd changer. There is a way to just add a plug in, but I am not sure where you get it.

that came with mine when I bought it. Works great, not sure if I'd buy it over the bluetooth adapter though, depends what you want to connect to it.

I just hacked into the wires going into the cd unit. It was fairly easy. I've gone on about it before so you'll have to search.
Did that years ago and it's been just great.

This is what I used: https://gromaudio.com/store/bt3_adap...interface.html

Install was very easy. First, you remove the radio from the dash - I used brass collar stays (slightly bent) to insert into the holes in the radio, and a credit card to pry it out of its housing. Once it's out, unplug the CD changer (you can't mix up the wires and plug in the box for the bluetooth. I ran the mic through the vent hole on the dash near the center item storage area, but if you don't want that then you don't need to plug it in. The tricky part was getting the box to fit back behind the radio but if you shove it in there carefully, the radio assembly will sit back flush in the housing.

I prefer this option because it retains the stock look, allows for calls, and it will work with the factory reverse/skip buttons on the dash and on the steering wheel.
