Default C5 radio

my 98 coupe has a cd radio and by the tuner **** there is an aux port. My son says there is a plug cable that I can get to play music from my phone.
My question is..........i've been looking at replacing the radio because it wont play radio stations in the lower ranges....below 104.5fm....i get a nasty static sound. Every radio Ive seen does not have the aux port...Ive looked at several of them....they're identical except for the port.
Do any c5 owners have one with the port or is mine the only one...and was it replaced from a different model year?

The aux port did not come on the OEM head unit from the factory. Personally, I prefer to hook my phone to the stereo with a wireless Bluetooth transmitter.
