Or record players... some nice vinyl scratching sound every time you go over a speed bump.

If you have one, it is inside the right storage compartment next to the A/C control, etc. Facing out towards you, but down a couple inches on that back wall of the compartment.

My aux port is located just in front of the emergency brake lever under a switch cover labeled "AUX." I was really disappointed that the car came with such a port but no USB port. In Hondas, you get both. All my music is on UBS drives so I had to install an aftermarket Sony unit.

700 MB will hold quite a few MP3 and WMA files... I haven't used it yet, but our stereos claim to play these files off of CDs. I used to do that before I bought an MP3 player for $20 off of woot.

Ha ha, that's great.

I like this part:
"Alas, problems abounded with the system: Records skipped as the car encountered uneven surfaces."
And:
"While we flatter ourselves that we might have been able to anticipate some of these problems (had we been born), we salute the pioneers of Car Tech."

Even though my Yaris has both an Aux in and an iPod controller, I like to have a disc of MP3/MP4's (which play just fine - haven't tried WMA) in the deck for the times when I don't want to bother with the iPod. I've burned MP3 discs through iTunes and MP4 disc's through Toast as ISO's with no problems.
