I am 99% sure this is not possible. There was no high level input to that radio - sorry. Is FM modulation that bad??

Your radios were supplied to HD by Radio Sound, Inc. Here's their phone number: 502 267-6768. Never hurts to ask the horse.

your pretty much hosed on that unit other than fm mod.
have you seen the fm modulators that plug direct inline of the antenna? they offer the best signal transfer if quality is of concern. your only other 2 options are newer HD deck, or biktronics module with an aftermarket radio.

A '98 HD radio will fit in a '96; simple swap. You can call Radio Sound to confirm.

I talked to radio sound inc . The 98 and new will fit but it will not match up wiring harness wise . I could hack it all up and make it work but I think I will go another rout . Thant sucks !

if your going to swap th deck, you might check with someone like hawg wired, they make a harness to adapt all the stock controls over to any Sony deck.
