Default best way to add WIFI to 01 factory audio

I searched, I promised. Tried to find information as to whether the factory radio included an Aux RCA. I have done utube and found several ways to add wifi using hijacking the cassette wiring or adding a wifi receiver, or just plugging into the Aux RCA. Any ideas? Thanks

I would love to do this too. I had considered removing the factory stereo and replacing it with a modern double din entertainment system complete with satnav and reversing camera. This would cost about GB£160 including the wiring harness adapters. Can't afford that yet, so it is on my wish list.

Sporton, glad I am not the only one who wants this. Except, I would like to keep the original radio and just find a way to add WIFI. I found a youtube that hijacks the cassette player. It looks neat, so that is an option.

The link above is incomplete. What is the make and model so I can do a search please? It was hard to see on the box, but I think it said BC32. Am I right?
