If your player has a LINE OUT jack use that for connecting the cable instead of the HEADPHONE jack. Volume will then be controlled by the radio Volume knob and adjustment of the AUX input volume.

I use a PIE LD1 2-Channel adjustable Line Driver .
You can power this from the power socket in the armrest. Rip a CD to mp3 and put this on your mp3 player. Then adjust the gain by reference to the same CD in the head unit until the volume matches.
I get no distortion or power interference from the line driver.
