I was thinking about a hybrid alternative. Tapping the TAPE input leads on the tuner in the rear of the vehicle and just putting a regular cassette with the tape ripped out of it in the head unit. I think that should work. Should get a perfectly clean signal. Then I don't have to worry about running wires from the deck. I will just have to run the cable from the rear.
Yes that should work if you can locate the right wires to tape into. If you have a unit with Nav then chances are that the following mod would work for your X.

Go to "tips and tricks" and under "stereo" section look at "MP3/Aux input Install". I bet that is exactly what you need.
