iPod Connection directly in Antenna port

I have a 210 radio which does not have an aux port so I'm thinking about buying the unit below. Does anyone know if Boxsters use the standard antenna port?

If you car has a cd changer already in the trunk, then this is the easiest plug in to do ... It works perfectly and plugs direction into the back of your radio where you cd changer is currectly plugged and then just plug it into the headphone jack of your ipod. put the radio in cd player mode and your good to go. hope this helps

Thats the problem, I have an in dash CD player. I have the 210 radio so I don't have an audio input.

I have the 210 as well so do we have any options? I don't want to replace the stock radio.

Others may disagree, however, I've had nothing but horrific results trying to use the auxiliary output on the oem radio; especially with one of those cheap eBay knock-off cables . When the vehicle is not running, shunting can occur with regard to electrical/power supply . On three separate occasions, this irreparably harmed 3 of my ipods . You're better off investing in a good quality aftermarket head unit that will provide you with a stable interface .
