On the AM/FM Tape units that button is used to put the tape deck into 
aux mode. However it doesn't have any connections to tap into for a 
cable, it is intended to be used with one of those cassette adapters 
with a cable on it or the modern ones that have bluetooth connection.
To use it you turn the key to run or accessory, Turn the radio off. Now 
press and hold the aux button for 5 seconds, The tape light will flash 
for 2 seconds. Now insert the adapter into the radio, it will power up 
the radio and you can use the radios controls to listen. The Aux mode 
will reset to tape when you push eject.

On the AM/FM CD units it is also not connected to any external wiring 
and just selects the CD if you are in radio mode. Or on some models it 
allowed you to select a remote CD changer or a tape deck. There used to 
be a kit that you could install inside the radio that allowed you to put 
an audio signal into the system but you needed to put a blank CD in as 
it tapped into the CD signal feed at the internal amplifier to work. Not 
sure if they are still around or not.
