Can i connect my MP3 player to my car stereo using the BUS Audio in?
I have a Sony xplod CDX-FW500 stereo and I am thinking that I can use the BUS Audio in jacks, right? Here is the link for the operating manual if you would like to see the other options:

I do have all the correct RCA/AUX cables to hook everything up with, i just don't know where to put them!
Then after i connect everything and power it of course, how do i make it work?
Thank you in advance for your help 
Some Sony head units have the ability to use the Bus input as an auxiliary source, but yours does not. It can be done, but it requires an optional accessory. Sony makes an auxiliary input device that allows you to connect multiple inputs, including a USB port; the model number is XA300. http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/ecom/accessories/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=26625&searchOperation=modelSearch&searchText=CDXFW500
A much less expensive option is this device, which simply fools the unit into thinking you have a CD changer connected, so that you can listen to the audio from the Bus input: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_127AUXONS/PAC-Sony-Unilink-adapter.html?tp=1672
Just follow the instructions with the device that you choose.
