connecting mp3 player to scion?
i have the CreativeZen Micro mp3 player 
http://www.creativelabs.com and you know how you use a cassette adapter 
to plug your cd player in the car (to play cds)? well i guess i plugged in my mp3 player and it worked, but it requires a cassette adapter, and obviously the scion tc only comes with a cd player. i know it can play mp3 cds as well, but i can't be bothered to burn a cd (unless that was the only way...) can anyone tell me if there is such thing as a cd adapter? or is there any other way that i can plug my mp3 player into the car?

FM modulators suck. I recently ordered the following device after searching here. I will definately give an update after I get it and do the instal. Any DIY's for the HU would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the RCA out connector:

I think all you would have to do is get a mini-jack stereo to RCA stereo cable. Radio Shack sells them here, but the Monster cables are pricey~
