You have a few options to consider. You can buy an FM broadcaster that will
plug into your mp3 player. They have been around many years.
You can get a unit that has a remote control so you don't even see it.
Or do like I did.
I simply bought a small amp like the one below that has a USB connection
which fits loosly between my center console and seat. No need to replace
the dash unit, just tap into the speakers. Not the best quality, but good
enough to listen to.
