What's it designed to plug into? That's outrageously priced.

There are a lot of things on your want list that are expensive... overly so.

Why not just buy what YOU think is cool/sporty?
What does your car look like now?

there are three jacks in the center console, one is a power outlet, the other is an auxilary inpurt, and the third is blank which allows room for the ipod jack, where you can control your ipod through the stereo, and not have to mess around with the ipod itself...... i dont know, i bought my car as is, with all the upgrades it already has and i had a dealership check it out and everything is intact and working and all the upgraded parts are there and working. i just wanted to go a little above and beyond i suppose. and Dave, whats funny?? i just got into scions and im curious, im sorry you find that funny.............
