RF adapters have been around for a few years. I've never used one,
but I hear they work very well (I have cousins in the car stereo
business). However, I've only heard of them being hooked up to CD
changers and not single portable-type CD players. Still, this is a
fairly inexpensive way to go and as a bonus you don't have to be
distracted while driving to swap CDs. This sort of system can be
hooked up to any system with an FM tuner. Oh, and the changer is
controlled through a separate little remote (I'd say generally
measuring about a max of 3x3" depending on model) so you don't need to
worry about your current tuner being capable of controlling a CD. I'm
pretty sure Crutchfield (http://www.crutchfield.com) would have
something like this
or you could generally check at any local reputable stereo store (I
would recommend staying away from the big chain stores as I've always
been disappointed with their installations). Good luck.
