MP3 instead of CD changer/GPS Cable?

Morning all. As I couldn't find anyone that could get hold of a CD changer, I took matters into my own hands and came up with what I think is a better solution anyway. I have fitted a FM modulator that eventually will be linked to a MP3 player when it comes. At the moment it works a treat with my Dell Axim acting as the MP3 player. Its got a 256Mb SD card that holds about 6-7 albums. Looking at getting a 20Gb player that will hold about 2500 songs which makes the CD changer look a bit daft. Estimated cost of the set up - Modulator £30-40, 20Gb MP3 player £150. I think that compares pretty favourably against the CD changer.
Now for the bad news. Whilst pulling the aerial cable back to fit it to the modulator, I cut a piece of tape off and managed to nick (what I later found out to be) the GPS cable to the head unit. I have affected a temporary repair that seems to be holding up, but I wondered if anyone knows how far the cable goes back and where the GPS receiver is located (presumed to be a part of the roof aerial?). Is the final section to the head unit a short length that comes from a local connector or does it go to the receiver in one length (disaster)?
Sorry for the long post and hope that some one can help.
Cheers![8D]

Maplin were doing a 10/20gb MP3 car jukebox with a FM transmitter for £150 complete with controls for front of car etc.

The multi-fucntion aerial (GPS/Phone) is the unit on the roof. The only bit that has an impact on the signal (i.e. is wavelength specific) is the bit on the roof, and any other cables linking it to the RT3 are just there to carry the signal. There are connectors on the aerial to connect to the wires that subsequently link to the RT3 - what I can't tell is whether those wires are further segmented between the aerial and the RT3.
