Wal-Mart has a $30 tape deck with aux input. You'll also need a casing from there for about $10. Staying with the cheapest way, you can opt to not use a harness and cut/splice wires. Use solder and electrical tape, NOT (removed) connectors. (removed) connectors will fail after a few years.

That's your bottom dollar cheapest option.
